As winter approaches, the temperature gradually drops and the valves outsides are getting greater chance tobe froze. At this time, the pipeline will easily fail if not take some acts. And when it comes to some high-risk working conditions, accidents may also occur. Therefore, the anti-freezing treatment of valves is crucial to industrial equipment.

Before the temperature drops, we have to do a fine preparation for the winter, a full range of insulation work on the valve device.

Tools required include insulation cotton, wire, vise, knife, an effective gas alarm when in the gas area.

Use the knife to cut the insulation cotton according to the size of the valve. Then use a vise to cut the wire that will be used later. Cover the valve with insulation cotton and fix the combination by wires.

In the process of use, if you find the valve is frozen and cannot operate normally, do not knock on the valve with a wrench or other heavy objects. Closing the valve and opening it again after thawing it with steam or hot water would be the right move.

When the valve is not used for a long time, the medium in the pipeline should be completely excluded to prevent the pipeline and the valve from freezing. Production safety is the obligation and responsibility of each enterprise.
