Metal seal butterfly valve means that both sides of the seal pair are made of metal material or other hard materials. The sealing performance is poor, but it is resistant to high temperature, abrasion and good mechanical properties. Such as: steel + steel; steel + copper; steel + graphite; steel + alloy steel. The steel here may also be cast iron, cast steel, alloy steel or alloys for surfacing an...

There are many ways to classify plug valves. In this article, we will introduce four main type of plug valves. 1. Lubricated Plug Valve A lubricated plug valve functions with the help of a lubricant (a base oil and viscosity improver) which is injected between the plug and body seat facing to reduce the frictions between them. The lubricated plug valve must be resealed after a few cycles. Due to i...

If the medium remained in the cavity after the cryogenic gate valve is closed, the residue will gradually absorb the heat in the air and re-gasify. After the gasification, it will expand violently up to 600 times and generate extremely high pressure on the valve, which is called 'abnormal boost'. When the unusual occurrence happens, the wedge will be pressed firmly onto the seat and can’t be opene...

Bronze and brass are two of the most common materials used to produce valves. This preference comes because both metals are quite malleable. They both are artificially made from natural metallurgical elements: brass is made from copper and zinc, while another is made primarily from copper and tin. Each metal offers valves numerous and various advantages...

There are four common types of plug valves, each of which has specific characteristics and advantages. Lubricated plug valve The lubrication plug valve uses lubricant to reduce frictions and make each port tightly sealed. Lubricants are basicly base oils that increase the viscosity of moving parts, such as amorphous or fumed silica, which are injected between the valve plug surface and the valve b...

The V-type ball valve is a single-seat ball valve with a metal seat. The adjustment performance is the best in the ball valves, whose flow characteristics are equal percentages, and the adjustable ratio is up to 100:1. It has a shearing action between the V-shaped slit and the metal seat, and is especially suitable for media containing fibers, tiny solid particles, and slurry. During the...
