An axial flow silent check valve’s disc is held in place by a spring. This upgraded structure design brings about many advantages. First, as its name indicates, the streamlined axial flow path through full-port expanded body prevent turbulence, erosion and vibration, which eliminate the process downtime and maintenance cost. Second, the full port passage and high-pressure recovery of the venturi-s...

People often have a confusion between a knife gate valve and slide gate valve. In brief, knife gate valve uses a blade to cut through thick liquids or gas; while a slide gate valve utilizes a slide plate to shut off flow of dry bulk material. In this article, we will discuss their differences in details. Knife Gate Valve Knife gate valves were originally designed for pulp and paper industry. ...

1. What is the value of flow coefficient Kv? What is the flow coefficient Cv? Volumetric flow of water flowing between 5 ° C (40 ° F) and 40 ° C (104 ° F) through the valve to produce a pressure loss of 1 bar (14.7 psi), expressed in cubic meters per hour. Kv = Cv / 1.156 Flow coefficient Cv: It is the mass flow rate when water flows through the valve at 15.6 ° C (60 ° F) to produce 1psi, expresse...

1. What is the difference between Cast iron and Cast steel? The difference between Cast iron and Cast steel is their carbon content. Cast Iron with carbon content greater than 2.06% is iron; steel with carbon content between 0.02% and 2.06% is steel. 2. What is carbon steel? How many categories does it fall into? An alloy of carbon and iron (when the carbon content is between 0.02% and 2.06%) is c...

Gate Valve is the most widely used one among all types of valves. Gate Valve, whose disc or wedge moves vertically along the axis of the channel, has the same basic function of other valves, turning on or turning off channels. In the pipeline, it is used as a piece to connect and cut off the media inside. What is worthy to be noted is that an ordinary gate valve usually opens or close pipeline com...

In general, industrial valves don’t have to do a strength test in use. But repaired or corroded body and bonnet should do that. Common media used in valve pressure testing are water, oil, air, steam, nitrogen and so on. And valve pressure test methods of all kinds of industrial valves, including pneumatic, are as follows: 1.For ball valve The pneumatic test of the ball valve should be carried out ...
