How to extend the service life of lined valves?
2020-09-01

Among the anti-corrosion materials, PTFE has incomparable excellent performance. In addition to outstanding chemical stability, it also has satisfactory anti-fouling and anti-stickiness, small dynamic and static friction coefficient, good anti-wear performance.


Using it as a valve opening and closing the sealing material, the friction between the sealing surface and required operating torque will be reduced, hence product life increases. the application scope can also be extended to the food, pharmaceutical industry and so on.


Fluorine lined valves, also known as anti-corrosion valves, are usually found in harsh working conditions. The media is either toxic and harmful chemicals, or pretty corrosive acids and bases or organic solvents. That means improper use and operation will elicit significant economic losses and serious consequences.


Applicable media: various concentrations of acid and alkali salt and certain organic solvents.


Fluorine is extolled as the world's most ideal anti-corrosion materials, has been widely used in the rotational molding of large equipment and piping lining.


Correct use and maintenance of the valve can extend the service life of fluorine lined valves, then what can be done to effectively protect it?


1. Carefully read the instruction manual before use.


2. Use it within the range of pressure, temperature and media given by the nameplate or instruction.


3. To prevent fluorine lined valves from excessive piping stresses due to temperature changes, temperature changes should be minimized and U-shaped expansion joints should be added before and after the valve.


4. For some unstable and easily decomposed media (such media will expand after decomposition,  resulting in an abnormal pressure rise) and media that can cause valve damage or leakage, measures should be taken to eliminate or limit the factors that cause the decomposition of unstable media.


5. For fluorine lined valves in pipelines of toxic, flammable, explosive, highly corrosive media, it is strictly prohibited to replace the packing under pressure. Even the valves are designed with sealing part, it is not recommended to replace the packing under pressure either.


6. For pipelines with self-combustible media, measures should be taken to ensure that the ambient and working temperatures do not exceed the self-combustibility point of the media to avoid the danger from sunlight or external fires.
