With the continuous development of global industrialization, the safety requirements for equipment and pipeline systems are also increasing. Line blind valves have always played a crucial role in the safety and reliability of industrial facilities. Line blind valve has been widely used in various fields such as petrochemical, energy production, and chemical engineering. It provides more flexibility and safety for engineers and operators in various industries, helping to reduce maintenance costs and improve production efficiency.
Adaptable Design
In addition to its conventional design, the THD-Slide is available in variations tailored for High-Temperature, Fire Safety, and Non-Drip applications. For installations constrained by limited space, a compact version can be provided as well.
Easy Seal Inspection
In this design, the seals are housed within the spectacle plate. This characteristic offers the advantage of convenient access for inspection and seal replacement. Assessing the condition of these seals can be performed external to the operational process, prior to any position changes, thereby ensuring the integrity of the seal's quality.
Cost Effectiveness
The THD-Slide features a straightforward and robust design engineered to deliver complete shutdown, extended operational lifespan, and cost-effective service with minimal maintenance requirements. The distinctive mechanism for opening and closing the THD-Slide enables a single individual to rapidly and safely blind pipelines without the need for any tools or equipment.
Mechanism Principle
In normal conditions, the blind valve's diversion hole is in contact with the pipeline, and the blind valve is in the open position. When maintenance is required, and the pipeline must be cut off, then loosen the stem of blind valve to move the flat end onto the pipeline, and make the blind valve turn to closed position from open position; tighten the stem and let the blind valve to perform sealing function and cut off the pipeline.
When the maintenance work is completed, loosen the stem and move the blind plate to the diversion hole and connected to the pipeline. The blind valve was turned to closed position from open one. Lock the stem, and seal it, the pipeline is now open, and the blind plate valve returns to the open position.
