Valve connection form

How to connect the whole valve with the pipeline or equipment, this problem can not be ignored, because most of the running, running, dripping and leaking of the valve occur here.

1, flange connection This is the connection form used in the valve. According to the shape of the joint surface, it can be divided into the following types:
1) Smooth type: for valves with low pressure. More convenient processing
2) Concave-convex type: high working pressure, medium hard washer
3) Gutter type: It can be used with a gasket with large plastic deformation, which is widely used in corrosive media and has a good sealing effect.
4) Trapezoidal trough type: Use an oval metal ring as a gasket for valves with a working pressure of ≥64 kg/cm or a high temperature valve.
5) Lens type: The washer is a lens shape and is made of metal. For high pressure valves with working pressure ≥100 kg/cm 2 or high temperature valves.
6) O-ring type: This is a newer type of flange connection. It has been developed with the appearance of various rubber O-rings. It is more reliable in sealing effect than ordinary flat washers.

3, butt welding connection

4, threaded connection This is a simple connection method, often used for small valves. There are two cases:
1) Direct sealing: the internal and external threads directly seal. In order to ensure that the joints are not leaking, they are often filled with lead oil, wire hemp and polytetrafluoroethylene raw material tape; among them, the polytetrafluoroethylene raw material tape is widely used; this material has good corrosion resistance and excellent sealing effect. It is easy to use and store. When disassembling, it can be completely removed, because it is a non-stick film, which is superior to lead oil and wire.
2) Indirect sealing: the force of screwing is transmitted to the gasket between the two planes, allowing the gasket to seal.

5, the card sleeve connection ferrule connection, developed in China in recent years, its connection and sealing principle is that when tightening the nut, the ferrule is under pressure, causing its blade to bite into the outer wall of the tube, the outer tapered surface of the ferrule It is in close contact with the tapered surface of the joint under pressure, so that leakage can be reliably prevented.
The advantages of this form of connection are:
1) Small size, light weight, simple structure, easy assembly and disassembly;
2) Strong connection force, wide application range, high pressure resistance (1000 kg/cm 2 ), high temperature (650 ° C) and shock vibration;
3) A variety of materials can be selected for corrosion protection;
4) Processing accuracy requirements are not high;
5) Easy to install at high altitude.
At present, the form of ferrule connection has been adopted in some small-diameter valve products in China.

6. Clamp Connection This is a quick connection method. It requires only two bolts and is suitable for low pressure valves that are frequently disassembled.

7. The internal self-tightening connection of the above various connection forms utilizes external force to offset the medium pressure and achieve sealing. The following describes the connection form that uses the medium pressure for self-tightening. Its sealing ring is installed at the inner cone, at an angle to the opposite side of the medium, the medium pressure is transmitted to the inner cone, and is transmitted to the sealing ring. At a certain angle of the cone surface, two component forces are generated, one and The centerline of the valve body is parallel to the outside and the other is pressed against the inner wall of the valve body. The latter part of the force is self-tightening. The greater the medium pressure, the greater the self-tightening force. Therefore, this type of connection is suitable for high pressure valves . It is more connected to the flange and saves a lot of material and manpower, but it also requires a certain pre-tightening force, so that it can be used reliably when the pressure inside the valve is not high.
Valves made using the principle of self-tightening are generally high pressure valves.
There are many forms of valve connections, such as small valves that do not have to be removed, welded to the pipe; some non-metallic valves , socketed connections, and so on. Valve users should be treated according to the circumstances of the break.

8, other valve connection forms are still many, such as some small valves that do not have to be removed, welded with the pipe; some non-metallic valves, using socket-type connection, and so on. Valve users should be treated according to the circumstances
