How much do you know about manual butterfly valves?

Butterfly valve is one of the valves that are widely used at present. It is mainly used to control the throttling and cutting off function of air, water, steam, mud, oil and various corrosive media in low pressure pipeline. According to the driving mode, butterfly valve is divided into electric butterfly valve, pneumatic butterfly valve, liquid butterfly valve and manual butterfly valve.

Valve assembly is a step of the manufacturing process. Valve assembly synthesizer is the process of combining various zero points and parts of the valve to make a product according to the premise of calibration technique. The full machine is the basic unit of valve assembly, which consists of several parts of the valve components (such as bonnet, valve flap, etc.). A kind of assembly process of several parts is called component assembly, the assembly process of several parts that make up the valve is called total assembly. Assembly work has a great impact on product quality, even if the design is accurate, parts qualified, if improper assembly, the valve can not meet the specified requirements, and even cause sealing leakage. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the use of fair assembly methods to ensure the quality of the finished valve.


First, installation precautions.


The butterfly valve has a simple structure, small volume, light weight, and its component parts are also less, and the key parts can form the butterfly valve, and it is convenient to open, only need to select the butterfly valve to ninety degrees, and the resistance of the butterfly valve to the fluid is also very small.


The preparation work before installing manual butterfly valve.


1、Install the valve in time after opening, and do not loosen any fastening screws or nuts on the valve at will. To facilitate maintenance, it is recommended not to install upside down.


2, butterfly valve flange installation needs to ensure that the gap between the flange surface and the sealing rubber pair, the screws should be tightened evenly and the sealing surface needs to fit completely; if the screws are tightened unevenly there will be a rubber bump stuck on the butterfly plate, or the top of the plate causing stem leakage.


The installation steps of manual butterfly valve are as follows.


1、First remove the damaged or rusty valve.


2、Place the valve between the two pre-installed flanges.


3、The bolt nuts at both ends are gently inserted into the corresponding flange holes at both ends (flanged butterfly valve needs to adjust the gasket position), and the nuts are slightly tightened to correct the plane of the flange surface.


4、Use spot welding of the flange on the pipe.


5、Fully weld the flange to fix on the pipe.


6、Reinstall the valve after the weld port cools down, make sure the valve has enough space to move on the flange to prevent the valve from being damaged and ensure the valve plate has a certain degree of opening (flange butterfly valve needs to add gasket); correct the valve position and tighten all the bolts (be careful not to tighten them too much); open the valve to ensure the valve plate can open and close freely, then make the valve plate open slightly.


7、Cross balance to tighten all the nuts.


8、Confirm once again that the valve can open freely, note: make sure the valve plate does not touch the pipeline.
