What are the structural forms of three-way solenoid valve? For what occasion?
Three way solenoid valve can be divided into ordinary type, waterproof type, explosion-proof type and so on.
According to its action mode, it can be divided into direct acting type and pilot type. In the direct acting type, the coil pulls in the iron core to directly drive the stop valve to switch the gas path; in the pilot type, the coil pulls in the moving iron core to change the flow direction of elegant and popular air, and pushes the stop valve to switch the gas path through the compressed air.
According to its working state, it can be divided into two types: normally on type (open when power on, close when power off) and normally closed type (close when power on, open when power off).
The three-way solenoid valve is used in single acting pneumatic actuator and pneumatic diaphragm actuator to complete the automatic switching of air circuit to realize the opening and closing action of regulating valve. It is usually used in remote control, sequence control and interlocking system.
Why do the solenoid valves used in the interlock system always work in the normally energized state?
This is from the perspective of ensuring safety and reliability.
1. The interlocking system of petroleum and chemical plant is set up to ensure safety in production and prevent accidents, so the reliability of its sending message period and actuator is very high. The solenoid valve in the interlocking system doesn’t act at ordinary times, but only acts in case of accident. According to the working principle of the solenoid valve, the coil closes the moving iron core when it is powered on, and drives the valve parts to switch. When the power is off, the moving iron core and valve parts return to the original position by the action of the reset spring. If there is no power supply for a long time at ordinary times, due to rust, dirt invasion and other reasons, the moving iron core and valve parts may be stuck. In case of emergency power on, the coil will not be able to suck, and the guide finger will be out of action. If there is no power supply for a long time at ordinary times, due to the vibration of the solenoid valve, it can prevent jamming. In case of power failure due to accident, the switch can be carried out reliably by the action of return spring.
2. It is difficult to know whether the solenoid valve works normally when it is in power-off state. But usually in the power on state, once the solenoid valve itself failure, it can be checked out at any time, which is very important to ensure the reliability of the interlocking system.
3. In case of power failure, the solenoid valve can still operate reliably.
Due to the above reasons, the solenoid valve used in the interlocking system generally works under the state of constant power on, which is opposite to the situation described in the instruction manual of the solenoid valve. Therefore, the normally closed solenoid valve should be selected for the normally open situation, and the normally open solenoid valve should be selected for the normally closed situation.
What problems should be paid attention to when installing the three-way solenoid valve.
1. It should be installed vertically. The stop valve part of pilot solenoid valve should be in horizontal position.
2. Attention should be paid to the symbols of each nozzle, and do not touch it to prevent misoperation or accidents.
3. The power supply used shall meet the power requirements specified on the product name plate to prevent the coil from being burnt out.
4. The working gas source should be well purified.

What is the principle of caliber calculation?
In different automatic control systems, the flow, medium, pressure, temperature and other parameters vary greatly, and the flow coefficient of the control valve is tested under the pressure difference of 100KPA and the medium is normal temperature water. It is not possible to compare the actual flow with the flow coefficient of the valve (because of the different conditions of pressure difference and medium), but the value of C must be calculated. The actual parameters are brought into the corresponding C value calculation formula, and the C value is compared with the CZ value of the valve, so as to determine the valve diameter. Finally, relevant checking calculation should be carried out to further verify whether the selected valve can meet the working requirements.
What are the steps of regulating valve diameter calculation?
From the process to the final valve diameter determination, the following steps are generally required.
1、 Determine the use conditions.
1. The name, properties and main physicochemical parameters of the medium passed;
2. Understand the process parameters clearly;
3. Piping condition (pipe diameter before and after the valve, calculation of system resistance);
4. The type and characteristics of the controlled object;
5. Adjustment performance requirements, such as requirements for leakage and stability.
2、 Primary selection of valve type, and determine the flow characteristics and flow direction.
3、 Determination of calculated flow rate. According to the existing production capacity, equipment load and medium conditions, the maximum working flow Qmax and the minimum working flow qmin are determined.
4、 The decision to calculate the differential pressure. The s value is selected according to the characteristics of the system, and then the differential pressure is calculated.
5、 Kv value calculation. According to the calculated flow rate, calculated pressure difference and other relevant parameters, the kvmax of the maximum working flow which determines the regulating valve preliminarily is obtained.
6、 According to the calculated kvmax, the first gear Kv value larger than kvmax and close to kvmax is selected to obtain the caliber.
7、 Opening checking calculation.
8、 Actual adjustable ratio checking calculation. Generally, the actual adjustable ratio should be greater than 10.
9、 Pressure difference proofreading (only checking from the opening and adjustable ratio is not good, which may cause the valve to be closed and start, so this item is added).
10、 If the above checking calculation is qualified, the selected valve diameter is qualified. If it is not qualified, the caliber (and Kv value) shall be re determined or other valves shall be selected for re checking to be qualified.

Diaphragm valve
The structure of diaphragm valve is very different from that of general valve. It is a new type of valve and a special type of block valve. Its opening and closing part is a diaphragm made of soft material, which separates the inner cavity of the valve body from the inner cavity of the valve cover and the driving parts. It is widely used in various fields. The commonly used diaphragm valves are rubber lined diaphragm valve, fluorine lined diaphragm valve, unlined diaphragm valve and plastic diaphragm valve. The valve core assembly is replaced by a corrosion-resistant lined valve body and a corrosion-resistant diaphragm, which uses the movement of the diaphragm to play a regulating role. The valve body material of diaphragm valve is cast iron, cast steel or cast stainless steel, and lined with various corrosion-resistant or wear-resistant materials, diaphragm material rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene. The lining diaphragm has strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for adjustment of strong corrosive media such as strong acid and alkali.
Diaphragm valve
Pneumatic diaphragm valve
Advantages of diaphragm valve
1. The structure of diaphragm valve is simple, the fluid resistance is small, and the flow capacity is larger than other types of valves of the same specification;
2. Suitable for corrosive, viscous and slurry media.
3. The valve is easy to be disassembled and maintained quickly, and the diaphragm can be replaced on site and in a short time.
4. No leakage, it can be used to adjust the medium with high viscosity and suspended particles. The diaphragm separates the medium from the upper chamber of the valve stem, so the medium without packing will not leak out.
5. The flow characteristic of the diaphragm valve is close to the quick opening characteristic, which is approximately linear before 60% stroke, and the flow rate changes little after 60%.
6. Pneumatic diaphragm valve can also be equipped with feedback signal, limiter and positioner to meet the needs of automatic control, program control or flow regulation.
7. The feedback signal of pneumatic diaphragm valve adopts contactless sensing technology. The product uses membrane type propulsion cylinder instead of piston cylinder, which eliminates the defects of piston ring easily damaged, resulting in leakage and unable to push the valve to open and close. When the air source fails, the hand wheel can be operated to open and close the valve.
Disadvantages of diaphragm valve
1. Can not be used in high pressure situation.
2. Due to the limitation of diaphragm and lining material, its pressure resistance and temperature resistance are poor. It is generally only applicable to 1.6Mpa nominal pressure and below 150 ℃.

Gasket is a mechanical seal between two objects, which is usually used to prevent pressure, corrosion, and pipeline natural thermal expansion and contraction leakage. Since the machined surface cannot be perfect, the irregularity can be filled with a gasket.
1. The correct selection of sealing gasket is the key to ensure no leakage of valve. For the same working condition, there are several kinds of pads
Notes on Selection
Correct selection of valve sealing gasket is the key to ensure no leakage of equipment. For the same working condition, there are several kinds of gaskets to choose from. According to the physical properties, pressure, temperature, equipment size, operating conditions and continuous operation period of the medium, the gasket should be selected reasonably to make full use of the characteristics of various gaskets.
When selecting gaskets, the following factors should be fully considered:
(1) It has good elasticity and resilience, and can adapt to pressure change and temperature fluctuation;
(2) It has proper softness and fits well with the contact surface;
(3) It does not pollute the process medium;
(4) It has enough toughness without damage due to pressure and tightening force;
(5) At low temperature, it does not harden and its shrinkage is small;
(6) Good processing performance, easy installation and pressing;
(7) The sealing surface is not bonded and easy to disassemble;
(8) Low price and long service life.
In the use of gasket, the pressure and temperature are mutually restricted. With the increase of temperature, after the equipment operates for a period of time, the gasket material will soften, creep and stress relaxation, and the mechanical strength will also decrease, and the sealing pressure will be reduced. vice versa. For example, it is listed in the manual that the use temperature of high-pressure asbestos rubber sheet xb450 in water and steam medium is 450 ℃ and the pressure is less than 6Mpa (when the material is used for sealing performance test, the pressure shall be kept at 440 ℃ ~ 450 ℃ and 12MPa steam for 30 minutes). But in the long-term practical use, if the temperature reaches 450 ℃, the sealing pressure is only 0.3 ~ 0.4MPa. For the gas medium with strong permeability, it is only 0.1 ~ 0.2MPa.
The above situations should be fully considered.
2. Selection of domestic gasket
(1) Industrial rubber plate
Natural rubber is suitable for water, sea water, air, inert gas, alkali, salt aqueous solution and other media, but it is not resistant to mineral oil and non-polar solvents. Its long-term service temperature is not more than 90 ℃, and its low-temperature performance is excellent. It can be used above – 60 ℃.
NBR is suitable for petroleum products, such as petroleum, lubricating oil, fuel oil, etc. the long-term service temperature is 120 ℃, if in hot oil, it can withstand 150 ℃, and the low temperature is – 10 ~ – 20 ℃.
Chloroprene rubber is suitable for seawater, weak acid, weak alkali and salt solution. It has excellent oxygen and ozone aging resistance. Its oil resistance is inferior to that of nitrile rubber and superior to other general rubber. Its long-term service temperature is lower than 90 ℃, the maximum service temperature is not more than 130 ℃, and the low temperature is – 30 ~ – 50 ℃.
There are many varieties of fluororubber, which have good acid resistance, oxidation resistance, oil resistance and solvent resistance. It can be used in almost all kinds of acid media and some oils and solvents, and its long-term use temperature is lower than 200 ℃.
As flange gasket, rubber plate is mostly used for pipeline or manhole and handhole which are often disassembled, and the pressure is not more than 1.568 MPa. Because in all kinds of gaskets, rubber gasket is the softest and has good fitting performance. It can play a sealing effect under a small preload. Because of this, when bearing internal pressure, the gasket is easy to be extruded due to its thick or low hardness.
When rubber sheet is used in organic solvents such as benzene, ketone and ether, swelling, weight gain, softening and stickiness are easy to occur, leading to sealing failure. Generally, it can not be used if the swelling degree is more than 30%.
Under the condition of low pressure (especially below 0.6MPa) and vacuum, rubber pad is more suitable. The rubber material has good compactness and low air permeability. For example, fluororubber is the most suitable sealing gasket for vacuum container, and the vacuum degree can reach 1.3 × 10-7 PA. When the rubber pad is used in the vacuum range of 10-1 ~ 10-7 PA, it needs to be baked and pumped.
(2) Asbestos rubber sheet
The price is lower than other gaskets, easy to use; the biggest problem is that although the gasket material is added with rubber and some fillers, it still can not completely fill those micro pores in collusion, and there is micro permeability. Therefore, in the highly polluting medium, even if the pressure and temperature are not high, it can not be used. When used in some high-temperature oil medium, usually in the later stage of use, due to the carbonization of rubber and filler, the strength is reduced, and the material becomes loose, which causes penetration at the interface and inside the gasket, resulting in coking and smoke. In addition, the asbestos rubber plate is easy to stick on the flange sealing surface under high temperature, which brings a lot of trouble to replace the gasket.
Under the condition of heating, the service pressure of gasket in various media depends on the strength retention rate of gasket material. There are crystal water and adsorbed water in asbestos fiber materials. At 110 ℃, 2 / 3 of the adsorbed water was precipitated, and the tensile strength of the fiber was reduced by 10%; at 368 ℃, all the adsorbed water precipitated, and the tensile strength of the fiber decreased by 20%; when the temperature exceeded 500 ℃, the crystallized water began to precipitate, and the tensile strength of the fiber was lower. The medium also has great influence on the strength of asbestos rubber sheet. For example, in aviation lubricating oil and aviation fuel, the transverse tensile strength difference of No. 400 oil resistant asbestos rubber sheet is 80%, which is due to the swelling of rubber in the plate by aviation fuel is more serious than that of aviation lubricating oil. Considering the above factors, the recommended safe use range of domestic asbestos rubber sheet xb450 is as follows: temperature 250 ℃ ~ 300 ℃, pressure 3 ~ 3.5Mpa; temperature of 400 oil resistant asbestos rubber sheet

Valve is used to control the medium in the pipeline, with a movable mechanism of mechanical products. Its basic function is to connect or cut off the flow of pipeline medium, change the flow direction of medium, adjust the pressure and flow of medium, and protect the normal operation of pipeline and equipment.
Valve type
With the development of modern science and technology, valves are widely used in T industry, construction, agriculture, national defense, scientific research and people’s life. Valves have become indispensable general mechanical products in various fields of human activities.
Industrial valve was born after the invention of steam engine. In recent ten years, due to the needs of petroleum, chemical industry, power station, metallurgy, shipbuilding, nuclear energy, aerospace and other aspects, higher requirements have been put forward for the valve, which urges people to study and produce high parameter valve FJ. The working temperature ranges from – 269 ℃ to 3430 ℃, and the working pressure from 1.33 × l0 ^ – 8 to 1460mpa. The nominal size of the valve ranges from micrometer gauge valve to industrial pipeline valve with nominal size of more than ten meters and weight of dozens of tons. The driving mode has developed from manual operation to electric, pneumatic and hydraulic operators to program control, numerical control and remote control.
It can be seen from the above description that the valve is widely used. However, if the valve is not properly selected, used and maintained, resulting in valve leakage, fire, explosion, poisoning, scald accidents, energy waste, equipment corrosion, material consumption increase, environmental pollution, and even shutdown, the consequences will be unimaginable. How to correctly understand, select, install, use and maintain valves is an urgent problem for users and engineers.
Classification of valves
With the continuous improvement of process flow and performance of various complete sets of equipment, the types of valves are also constantly changing and increasing. There are many kinds of valve classification methods, the classification methods are different, the results are not the same, several commonly used classification methods are as follows.
1.2.1 classification by use and function
The valves can be classified into block valve, check valve, diverter valve, regulating valve, safety valve, other special purpose valve and multi-purpose valve.

Such as gate valve, globe valve, ball valve, plug valve, butterfly valve, etc. Check valve type – used to prevent backflow of medium. Such as check valve, etc. Shunt broad class — used to change the flow direction of medium in the pipeline, which plays the role of distributing, dividing or mixing medium. Such as two-way or four-way plug valve T-way or four-way ball valve, distribution valve, etc.
Regulating valve – mainly used to regulate the flow and pressure of medium. Such as regulating valve, pressure reducing valve, flow valve, balance valve, etc. Safety valve – used for overpressure safety protection, discharge excess medium to prevent the pressure from exceeding the rated value of safety valve. When the pressure returns to normal, the valve will be closed to prevent the medium from flowing out. Such as a variety of safety valves, torrent valves, etc.
Other special valves such as steam trap, vent valve, slag discharge valve, blowdown valve, pigging valve, etc.
Multi purpose valves, such as stop check valve, check ball valve, stop check safety valve, etc.
1.2.2 classification by power source
According to the power source, the valve can be divided into automatic valve and drive valve. Automatic valve – a valve that operates by itself depending on the capacity of the medium (liquid, air, steam, etc.). Such as safety valve, check valve, pressure reducing valve, steam trap, emergency shut-off valve, etc.
Actuated valve – a valve operated by manual, electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic power. Such as gate valve, globe valve, ball valve, butterfly valve, diaphragm valve, etc.
1.2.3 classification by main technical parameters
(1) Classification by nominal size
The valve can be divided into small diameter valve and medium diameter valve according to the nominal size
Door, large diameter valve and extra large diameter valve.
Small diameter valve – valve with nominal size ≤ Dn40.

Large diameter valve – valve with nominal size DN, DN350 ≤ DN ≤ DN1200.
Extra large diameter valve – the valve with nominal size greater than or equal to dn 1400.
(2) Classification by nominal pressure

12. A drain valve should be installed at the lowest point of the water supply network

Advantages and disadvantages of valves

(3) Check valves should generally be selected according to factors such as their installation location, water pressure before the valve, sealing performance requirements after closing, and the size of the water hammer caused by closing
1. If the water pressure in front of the valve is small, it is advisable to use swing, ball and shuttle check valves
2. When the airtight performance after closing is tight, a check valve with closing spring should be selected
3. When it is required to weaken the shut-off water hammer, a quick-closing muffler check valve or a slow-closing check valve with a damping device should be selected

on the introduction pipe; on the inlet pipe of a closed water heater or water equipment; on the outlet pipe of the water pump; on the outlet pipe section of the water tank, water tower, and highland pool where the inlet and outlet pipes are combined.
Note: The pipe section equipped with the pipe backflow preventer does not need to install a check valve.
(5) Exhaust devices should be installed in the following parts of the water supply pipeline:
1. For the water supply pipe network used intermittently, the end and highest point of the pipe network should be equipped with automatic exhaust valves

3. Air pressure water supply device. When automatic air-supply air pressure water tank is used, the highest point of the water distribution pipe network should be equipped with an automatic exhaust valve
2. Advantages and disadvantages of various valves:
1. Shanghai Chuanhu Gate Valve: Gate valve refers to a valve whose closing member (gate) moves along the vertical direction of the channel axis. It is mainly used as a cut-off medium in the pipeline, that is, fully open or fully closed. Generally, the gate valve cannot be used as an adjustment flow. It can be applied to low temperature and pressure as well as high temperature and high pressure, and can be based on different materials of the valve. But gate valves are generally not used in pipelines that transport mud and other media
advantages:
①The fluid resistance is small;
②The torque required for opening and closing is small;
③It can be used on the ring network pipeline where the medium flows in both directions, that is to say, the flow direction of the medium is not restricted;
④When fully open, the erosion of the sealing surface by the working medium is smaller than that of the stop valve;
⑤The body structure is relatively simple, and the manufacturing process is better;
⑥The structure length is relatively short.
Disadvantages:
①The overall dimensions and opening height are large, and the installation space required is also large;
②In the process of opening and closing, the sealing surface is relatively rubbed by people, and the abrasion is large, even at high temperature, it is easy to cause abrasion;
③Generally, gate valves have two sealing surfaces, which adds some difficulties to processing, grinding and maintenance;
④Long opening and closing time.
2. Butterfly valve: A butterfly valve is a valve that uses a disc-type opening and closing member to reciprocate about 90° to open, close and adjust the fluid channel.
advantages:
①Simple structure, small size, light weight, saving consumables, do not use in large-diameter valves;
②Rapid opening and closing, low flow resistance;
③It can be used for media with suspended solid particles, and it can also be used for powder and granular media depending on the strength of the sealing surface. It can be applied to the two-way opening and closing and adjustment of ventilation and dust removal pipelines, and is widely used in gas pipelines and waterways in metallurgy, light industry, electric power, and petrochemical systems.
Disadvantages:
①The flow adjustment range is not large, when the opening reaches 30%, the flow will enter more than 95%;
②Due to the limitation of the structure of the butterfly valve and the sealing material, it is not suitable for use in high temperature and high pressure piping systems. The general working temperature is below 300℃ and below PN40;
③The sealing performance is worse than that of ball valves and globe valves, so it is used in places where the sealing requirements are not very high.
3. Ball valve: evolved from a plug valve, its opening and closing part is a sphere, which uses the sphere to rotate 90° around the axis of the valve stem to achieve the purpose of opening and closing. The ball valve is mainly used for cutting off, distributing and changing the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. The ball valve designed as a V-shaped opening also has a good flow adjustment function.
advantages:
①has the lowest flow resistance (actually 0);
②Because it will not get stuck when working (when there is no lubricant), it can be reliably used in corrosive media and low-boiling liquids;
③In a larger pressure and temperature range, it can achieve complete sealing;
④It can realize fast opening and closing, and the opening and closing time of some structures is only 0.05~0.1s to ensure that it can be used in the automation system of the test bench. When opening and closing the valve quickly, the operation has no impact;
⑤The spherical closing piece can be automatically positioned on the boundary position;
⑥The working medium is reliably sealed on both sides;
⑦When fully open and fully closed, the sealing surface of the ball and valve seat is isolated from the medium, so the medium passing through the valve at high speed will not cause the erosion of the sealing surface;
⑧ compact structure and light weight, it can be considered as the most reasonable valve structure for cryogenic medium system;
⑨The valve body is symmetrical, especially the welded valve body structure, which can withstand the stress from the pipeline well;
⑩The closing piece can withstand the high pressure difference when closing. ⑾The ball valve with fully welded body can be directly buried in the ground, so that the internal parts of the valve are not corroded, and the maximum service life can reach 30 years. It is the most ideal valve for oil and natural gas pipelines. It is a professional manufacturer of Shanghai Chuanhu Valve Ball Valve.
Disadvantages:
①Because the main seat sealing ring material of the ball valve is polytetrafluoroethylene, it is inert to almost all chemical substances, and has a small friction coefficient, stable performance, not easy to age, wide temperature application range and excellent sealing performance The comprehensive characteristics. However, the physical properties of PTFE, including high expansion coefficient, sensitivity to cold flow and poor thermal conductivity, require the design of valve seat seals to focus on these characteristics. Therefore, when the sealing material becomes hard, the reliability of the seal is impaired. Moreover, PTFE has a low temperature resistance grade and can only be used at less than 180°C. Above this temperature, the sealing material will deteriorate. In the case of long-term use, it will generally only be used at 120°C.
②Its regulation performance is worse than that of globe valves, especially pneumatic valves (or electric valves).

Advantages and disadvantages of valves
4. Cut-off valve: refers to a valve whose closing part (disc) moves along the center line of the valve seat. According to this movement of the valve disc, the change of the valve seat port is proportional to the valve disc stroke. Since the opening or closing stroke of the valve stem of this type of valve is relatively short, and it has a very reliable cut-off function, and because the change of the valve seat port is in direct proportion to the stroke of the valve disc, it is very suitable for flow adjustment. Therefore, this type of valve is very suitable for cutting off or regulating and throttling.
advantages:
①During the opening and closing process, the friction between the disc and the sealing surface of the valve body is smaller than that of the gate valve, so it is wear-resistant.
②The opening height is generally only 1/4 of the valve seat passage, so it is much smaller than the gate valve;
③Usually there is only one sealing surface on the valve body and the disc, so the manufacturing process is relatively good and easy to maintain;
④Because the filler is generally a mixture of asbestos and graphite, the temperature resistance level is higher. Generally steam valves use stop valves.
Disadvantages:
①As the flow direction of the medium through the valve has changed, the minimum flow resistance of the stop valve is also higher than that of most other types of valves;
②Due to the longer stroke, the opening speed is slower than that of the ball valve.
5. Plug valve: refers to a rotary valve with a plunger-shaped closing part. The passage port on the valve plug is communicated with or separated from the passage port on the valve body through a 90° rotation to realize opening or closing. The shape of the valve plug can be cylindrical or conical. The principle is basically similar to that of the ball valve. The ball valve is developed on the basis of the plug valve. It is mainly used for oilfield exploitation, but also for petrochemical industry.
6. Safety valve: refers to the pressure vessel, equipment or pipeline, as an overpressure protection device. When the pressure in the equipment, container or pipeline rises above the allowable value, the valve automatically opens, and then the full amount is discharged to prevent the equipment, container or pipeline and the pressure from continuing to rise; when the pressure drops to the specified value, the valve should automatically Close in time to protect the safe operation of equipment, containers or pipelines.
7. Steam trap: Some condensed water will be formed in the medium of conveying steam, compressed air, etc. In order to ensure the working efficiency and safe operation of the device, these useless and harmful media should be discharged in time to ensure the consumption and consumption of the device. use. It has the following functions: ①It can quickly remove the condensed water produced; ②Prevent steam leakage; ③Exclude air and other non-condensable gases.
8. Pressure reducing valve: It is a valve that reduces the inlet pressure to a certain required outlet pressure through adjustment, and relies on the energy of the medium itself to automatically maintain a stable outlet pressure.
9, check valve: also known as reverse valve, check valve, back pressure valve and one-way valve. These valves are automatically opened and closed by the force generated by the flow of the medium in the pipeline, and belong to an automatic valve. The check valve is used in the pipeline system, and its main function is to prevent the medium from flowing back, preventing the pump and the drive motor from reversing, and releasing the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. They can be divided into swing type (rotating by the center of gravity) and lifting type (moving along the axis).

The high temperature working conditions mainly include sub-high temperature, high temperature class I, high temperature class II, high temperature class III, high temperature class IV, and high temperature class V, which will be introduced separately below.

1. Sub-high temperature

Sub-high temperature means that the operating temperature of the valve is in the region of 325 to 425°C. If the medium is water and steam, WCB, WCC, A105, WC6 and WC9 are mainly used. If the medium is sulfur-containing oil, mainly use C5, CF8, CF3, CF8M and CF3M with anti-sulfide corrosion. They are mostly used in the atmospheric and vacuum units and delayed coking units of oil refineries. At this time, valves made of CF8, CF8M, CF3 and CF3M are not used for corrosion resistance of acid solutions, but used for sulfur-containing oil and oil and gas pipelines. In this working condition, the upper limit of the maximum operating temperature of CF8, CF8M, CF3 and CF3M is 450°C.

2. High temperature class I

The valve’s working temperature is 425～550℃, it is high temperature class I (referred to as PI class). The main material of the PI-level valve is “high-temperature grade I medium carbon chromium nickel rare earth titanium high-quality heat-resistant steel” based on CF8 in the ASTM A351 standard. Because PI grade is a specific name, the concept of high temperature stainless steel (P) is included here. Therefore, if the working medium is water or steam, although high-temperature steel WC6 (t≤540℃) or WC9 (t≤570℃) can also be used, although high-temperature steel C5 (ZG1Cr5Mo) can also be used for sulfur-containing oil, They cannot be called PI grades here.

3. High temperature class Ⅱ

The working temperature of the valve is 550～650℃, which is set as high temperature level II (referred to as PII level). The PⅡ high temperature valve is mainly used in the heavy oil catalytic cracking unit of the refinery. It contains high temperature lined wear-resistant gate valves used in three-rotation nozzles and other parts. The main material of the PⅡ valve is the “high temperature grade Ⅱ medium carbon chromium nickel rare earth titanium tantalum reinforced heat-resistant steel” based on CF8 in the ASTM A351 standard.

4. High temperature Ⅲ grade

The working temperature of the valve is 650～730℃, which is set as high temperature grade III (referred to as PⅢ grade for short). PⅢ high temperature valves are mainly used in large-scale heavy oil catalytic cracking units in refineries. The main material of PⅢ grade high temperature valve is “high temperature grade Ⅲ medium carbon chromium nickel molybdenum rare earth titanium tantalum reinforced heat-resistant steel” based on CF8M in ASTMA351 standard.

5. High temperature grade IV

The working temperature of the valve is 730～816℃, which is set as high temperature grade IV (referred to as PIV grade). The upper limit of the working temperature of the PIV valve is 816℃ because the maximum temperature provided in the standard ASMEB16134 pressure-temperature grade selected for the valve design is 816℃ (1500υ). In addition, after the working temperature exceeds 816°C, the steel is close to entering the forging temperature zone. At this time, the metal is in the plastic deformation zone, and the metal has good plasticity, and it is difficult to withstand high working pressure and impact without being deformed. The main material of the PⅣ valve is CF8M in the ASTM A351 standard, which is the basic “high temperature grade IV medium carbon chromium nickel molybdenum rare earth titanium tantalum reinforced heat-resistant steel”. Heat-resistant stainless steels such as F310 (with C content ≥01050%) and F310H in the CK-20 and ASTMA182 standards.

6. High temperature grade V

The working temperature of the valve is above 816℃, referred to as PⅤ, PⅤ high temperature valve (used as a shut-off valve, not a regulating butterfly valve) must adopt special design methods, such as lining heat insulation lining or passing water or air The normal operation of the valve can only be ensured by cooling. Therefore, the upper limit of the working temperature of the PⅤ high temperature valve is not stipulated. This is because the working temperature of the control valve is not solved by materials alone, but by special design methods, and the basic principles of the design methods are the same. According to the working medium, working pressure and special design method adopted, the PⅤ high temperature valve can select reasonable materials that can satisfy the valve. In the PⅤ high temperature valve, usually the flue flapper valve or the flapper or butterfly plate of the butterfly valve often use the high temperature alloy HK-30 and HK-40 in the ASTM A297 standard. They can resist oxidation and reducing gases below 1150℃. Corrosion resistant, but cannot withstand impact and high pressure loads.

(1) Requirements for the use of valves

①Ordinary gate valves, ball valves, and globe valves are strictly prohibited for adjustment according to their structural characteristics. But in process design, it is generally used for adjustment. Due to adjustment and use, the valve seal is in a throttling state for a long time, impurities in the oil scouring the seal, damaging the sealing surface, resulting in lax closing or because the operator has damaged the sealing surface to achieve the seal, causing the valve to pass or open .
②The valve installation position is unreasonable. When the medium used contains impurities, a filter or filter screen is not installed at the front end of the valve, causing impurities to enter the valve, causing damage to the sealing surface, or deposits of impurities on the bottom of the valve, causing the valve to be closed loosely. And produce leakage.

(2) Consider from the perspective of process requirements

① For corrosive media, if the temperature and pressure are not high, non-metallic valves should be used as much as possible; if the temperature and pressure are high, lining valves should be used to save precious metals. When choosing non-metal valves, economic rationality should still be considered;
For a medium with a higher viscosity, if a smaller flow resistance is required, a direct-flow stop valve, gate valve, valve, plug valve and other valves with a small flow resistance should be used. Valves with small flow resistance and low energy consumption; when the medium is a special medium such as oxygen or ammonia, the corresponding special valve for oxygen or ammonia should be selected.
② Directional valves should not be used for dual-flow pipelines, but non-directional valves should be used. For example, after the heavy oil pipeline of an oil refinery stops running, the pipeline must be purged with steam in the reverse direction to prevent the heavy oil from solidifying and blocking the pipeline. It is not appropriate to use a stop valve here, because the sealing surface of the stop valve is easily eroded when the medium flows in the reverse direction. It also affects the efficiency of the valve, and it is better to use a gate valve.
③For some media with crystallization or deposits, stop valves and gate valves should not be used, because their sealing surfaces are easily worn by crystals or deposits. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use a ball valve or a plug valve; a flat gate valve is optional, but a jacket valve is best.
④In the selection of gate valve, the single gate with exposed rod is more suitable for corrosive media than the double gate with dark rod; the single gate is suitable for medium with high viscosity; the adaptability of double wedge gate to high temperature and deformation of sealing surface It is better than a wedge-type single gate, and will not cause jamming due to temperature changes, especially compared to
Rigid single gate is more superior.
⑤The valves on general water and steam pipes can be cast iron valves. However, if the steam is stopped in the outdoor steam pipes, the condensate will freeze and the valves will be damaged by freezing. Therefore, in cold areas, the valve should be made of cast steel, low-temperature steel, or effective heat preservation measures.
⑥For highly dangerous and highly toxic media or other harmful media, valves with bellows structure should be used to prevent the media from leaking from the packing.
⑦Gate valves, globe valves and ball valves are the most used valves among the valves, and comprehensive consideration should be given to them when selecting them. The gate valve has strong flow capacity and low energy consumption for the conveying medium, but has a large installation space. The shut-off valve has a simple structure and is easy to maintain, but has a large flow resistance. The ball valve has the characteristics of low flow resistance and fast opening and closing, but the use temperature is limited. For petroleum products and other media with relatively high viscosity, considering the strong flow capacity of gate valves, gate valves are mostly used. In water and steam pipelines, stop valves are used, and the pressure drop is not large. Therefore, stop valves are used in water, steam and other medium pipelines. There are many applications, and ball valves can be used under the conditions permitting.

(3) From the perspective of easy operation

①For large-diameter valves and long-distance, high-altitude, high-temperature, and high-pressure occasions, electric and pneumatic valves should be used. For flammable and explosive occasions, Luo
Explosion-proof devices are used, and hydraulic and pneumatic devices are used for safety and reliability.
② For valves that require quick opening and quick closing, butterfly valves, ball valves, plug valves or quick opening gate valves should be selected according to the needs, and general gate valves and stop valves should not be used. In situations where the operating space is restricted, open-stem gate valves should not be used. Dark-stem gate valves should be used, but butterfly valves are best. Use rising stem gate valve,

(4) Considering the accuracy of regulating flow

When it is necessary to adjust the flow rate accurately, a regulating valve should be used. When the accuracy of the flow rate is reduced, a needle valve or a throttle valve should be used. When it is necessary to reduce the pressure after the valve, a pressure reducing valve should be used, and when the stability of the pressure after the valve is to be maintained, a pressure regulator valve should be used.

(5) Considering temperature and pressure resistance

High-temperature and high-pressure media often use castings of chromium-molybdenum steel and chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel. For ultra-high-temperature and high-pressure media, the corresponding forgings should be considered. The comprehensive performance of forgings is better than castings, and the temperature and pressure resistance capabilities are also superior to castings.

(6) Considering cleanability

In the production and transportation of food and biological engineering, the requirements for valves on the process pipeline need to consider the cleanliness of the medium, and general gate valves and globe valves cannot be guaranteed. In terms of cleanability, no valve can be compared with a diaphragm valve.
①Diaphragm valve has a simple structure, with various valve bodies and diaphragm materials, which can be widely used in the fields of food and biological engineering, and also suitable for some difficult and dangerous media.
a. Only the valve body and diaphragm are in contact with the flow, and all other parts are isolated. The valve can be thoroughly sterilized with steam.
b. Possess its own detergency capability.
c. It can be repaired online. Therefore, the diaphragm valve has become the most widely used valve in the food and biological C. engineering fields.
②Bottom valve.
In the case of strict sterilization requirements, the discharge valve at the bottom of the storage tank has almost no choice. The bottom valve is directly welded to the bottom head of the storage tank during equipment manufacturing. It is very different from the usual method of making a nozzle at the bottom of the tank and then connecting the valve to the nozzle. When the valve is closed, the valve core It is level with the inner bottom of the storage tank, so it effectively eliminates the dead corners in the tank, so that all the liquid in the tank can be fully mixed during the fermentation process, and the unique steam sealing system greatly reduces product contamination Possibility.

Maintenance and maintenance of the valve during use
The valve should pay attention to maintenance and maintenance during use. On the one hand, good maintenance and maintenance can ensure the reliable operation of the valve, and on the other hand, it can effectively extend the service life of the valve.
(1) Cleaning and lubrication of transmission parts
The stem thread is an important part of the valve opening and closing transmission parts. The cleanliness and lubrication of its surface directly affect the normal operation of the valve. Regularly check the cleanliness of the threaded surface of the valve stem, and regularly lubricate the threaded stem with butter, molybdenum disulfide or graphite powder to ensure the reliability of its transmission performance. Even for valves that are not frequently opened and closed, turn the handwheel regularly to add lubricant to the valve stem threads to prevent the threads from seizing.
If the valve adopts mechanical transmission, the condition of the lubricating oil in the bearing box and gearbox should be checked regularly, and the lubricating oil should be added or replaced in time to ensure that the transmission components such as bearings and gears are in good lubrication.
Always keep the valve clean. Especially for valves installed in areas where the external environment is harsh, a protective sleeve should be added to the valve stem to prevent rain, snow, dust, etc. from corroding the valve stem and causing the valve to open and close.
(2) Always check and maintain the integrity of valve components
Especially for valves installed outdoors, necessary protective measures should be taken to avoid long-term exposure of the valve to harsh environments, which may cause corrosion of the valve, which may cause the pressure-bearing boundary to fail and eventually lead to serious consequences.
(3) Check the flexibility of the valve
At present, most valves are equipped with switch indicators. When operating the valve, you should first see the direction of the switch. At the same time, you should not use excessive force at the starting position. The threaded part of the valve stem can be lubricated and maintained with some allowed oil on the pipeline.
(4) Regularly check the stuffing box for leaks
If a slight leakage is found, it can be solved by re-tightening the pressure plate and pressure sleeve, but the pressure plate thread should be symmetrically pressed during the re-compression process to prevent the pressure sleeve from skewing and blocking the valve stem. After the compression process is over, the valve stem should be operated to check the valve performance.
Valve operation
For valves, not only must be able to install and regularly maintain and maintain, but also be able to operate. Under normal circumstances, the opening and closing of the valve follows the principle of “reverse opening and closing”, that is, turning the hand wheel counterclockwise to open the valve, and turning the hand wheel clockwise to close the valve.
(1) Whether it is an electric valve or a pneumatic valve, the manual function is generally considered when designing the valve. The manual function of the valve is generally realized by a hand wheel or a handle. The hand wheel or handle of the valve is designed according to ordinary manpower, taking into account the strength of the sealing surface and the necessary closing force. Therefore, a long lever or a long wrench cannot be used to pull the valve during the actual valve opening and closing operation. Some people are accustomed to using “F”-shaped wrenches, and they should be careful not to use too much force, otherwise it will easily damage the sealing surface, or break the hand wheel or handle. For valves that are partially driven by bevel gears or worm gears, use extensions Use a lever or “F”-shaped wrench to operate the handwheel. Excessive force may cause deformation or damage to the bevel gear or worm gear.
(2) When opening and closing the valve, the force should be steady and no impact. Some parts of high-pressure valves that are opened and closed with an impact handwheel have been designed and manufactured with this impact force taken into consideration, which cannot be equivalent to ordinary valves.
When the valve is fully opened, the handwheel should be turned upside down a little to tighten the threads to avoid loosening and damage. For rising stem valves, remember the position of the valve stem when fully open and fully closed, so as to check whether the valve state is normal when fully open and fully closed. If the valve flap falls off, or the valve core and the sealing surface of the valve seat are more embedded For large debris, the valve stem position will change when fully open and fully closed, and then it will be easy to find faults and take further measures in time.
(3) When the pipeline is first used, there are many impurities inside. You can open the valve slightly, use the high-speed flow of the medium to wash it away, and then close it gently (not fast or abruptly to prevent residual impurities from trapping the seal Face), turn it on again, repeat this many times, flush
Clean the dirt, and then return to normal work.
If the valve is normally open, there may be dirt on the sealing surface. When it is closed, it must be flushed clean with the above method, and then formally closed. If the hand wheel and handle are damaged or lost, they should be equipped immediately, and the adjustable wrench can not be used to replace it, so as to avoid damage to the valve stem and failure of opening and closing, resulting in accidents in production.
Some media cool down after the valve is closed, causing the valve to shrink. The operator should close it again at an appropriate time. (4) Keep the sealing surface without any crevices, otherwise, the medium will flow through the crevices at a high speed and it will be easily eroded Sealing surface.
(5) When operating the valve, if the operation is found to be too laborious, the reason should be analyzed and the operation cannot be forced. If the packing is too tight, loosen it appropriately; if the valve stem is skewed, notify the maintenance personnel for repair. For high-temperature gate valves, when closed, the closing part is heated and expands, causing difficulty in opening. If it must be opened at this time, loosen the bearing gland on the valve cover by half a turn to one turn to eliminate the stress on the valve stem, and then turn the handwheel .
(6) When operating the high-pressure valve, because the pipeline pressure of the high-pressure valve is very high, the pressure difference between the front and rear of the valve is very large when driving, so the operation must be very careful, and the opening must be slowly and gradually opened. Open a little bit first, so that the high-pressure fluid slowly fills the pipeline behind the valve. When the front and rear pressures are close, adjust the valve opening according to the specified flow. If the system has a bypass valve, open the bypass valve before opening the main valve. When the front and back pressures are close to balance, then open the large high-pressure valve on the main pipeline.
(7) Wedge gate valves and globe valves are only used for fully open or fully closed, and are not allowed to be used for adjustment and throttling, so as to avoid erosion and cause seal failure or shorten valve service life.
