Sealing is to prevent leakage, so the principle of valve sealing is also studied from leak prevention. There are two main factors that cause leakage. One is the most important factor affecting the sealing performance, that is, there is a gap between the sealing pairs, and the other is the pressure difference between the two sides of the sealing pair. The principle of valve sealing is also analyzed...

Before we select an appropriate ball valve, there are many factors we need to take into consideration. Seat type is one of important perspectives. Soft Seated Ball Valve The seat ring in contact with the ball part is made of soft material, such as PTFE, RPTFE, Nylon, Devlon, Peek and so on. For floating ball valve, there is only one soft seat ring for one side seat. But for trunnion ball valve, th...

For trunnion-mounted ball valve, there is a metal seat ring and a soft seat insert to ensure the sealing performance of seat. The seat inserts are element mounted inside a metal seat ring and perform the same sealing functions as seat ring. There are mainly two types of seat insert materials, elastomeric and thermoplastic. Elastomeric seat insert is softer to achieve zero leakage of ball valve. Wh...

Metal seated butterfly valve is that both sides of the seal are made of metal material or other hard materials. This seal has relatively poor sealing performance, but is resistant to high temperatures, abrasion and mechanical properties. Metal seated is often combined of such as: steel + steel, steel + copper, steel + graphite, steel + alloy steel. The steel here may also be cast iron, c...

Today, Dervos takes you to know which components of soft seal gate valve are prone to leakage and how to prevent and remedy it well. 1.Leakage at Gate Valve Connection First, we should check whether the connecting bolts between gate valves are tightened, ensure that the sealing gasket ring in it is fully combined with the flange sealing groove surface. Secondly, if leakage has occurred, please do ...

Buried soft-seated gate valves and conventional soft-seated gate valves are both common types of valves in pipeline systems, with significant differences in design, structure, and application. This article will delve into the differences between these two types of valves and provide a detailed comparison of their features. Structure Design 1. Installation location Conventional soft-seated gate val...
