Center line butterfly valve is one of the key components commonly used in industrial fluid control systems. In use, in order to ensure the reliability and safety of the system, it is very important to choose the appropriate sealing material. This article will introduce the selection of sealing materials and commonly used materials of the center line butterfly valve to improve the reliability of the system.
The selection of the appropriate sealing material for the center line butterfly valve needs to consider the following factors: medium type, temperature range, pressure requirements and fluid properties. Different working conditions have different requirements for sealing materials, so these factors should be considered comprehensively when selecting materials.
First of all, the type of media is one of the important factors affecting the selection of sealing materials. Different media have different chemical properties, such as acid and alkali, corrosion and toxicity. Common sealing materials include rubber, polymers, metals and ceramics. For corrosive media, acid and alkali resistant polymer materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polypropylene (PP) can be selected. For high temperature media, metal sealing materials such as stainless steel are a better choice.
Secondly, the temperature range is also a factor that needs to be considered when selecting the appropriate sealing material. Different materials have different temperature adaptability. For example, common rubber sealing materials will age and harden at high temperatures, so for high temperature conditions, high temperature resistant materials such as graphite and metal should be selected.
Pressure requirements are another factor to consider. Under high pressure conditions, sealing materials need to have high compressive performance and strength. Metal sealing materials usually have good compression properties and are suitable for high pressure systems. At the same time, the elasticity and resilience of the sealing material will also affect its sealing performance, so it is necessary to choose a material with good elasticity and resilience.
Finally, fluid properties need to be considered. Some fluids have high viscosity or granular matter, and the loss of sealing materials is greater. In this case, materials that are resistant to wear and corrosion, such as polyurethane and rubber assemblies, need to be selected.
In summary, the selection of sealing materials for the center line butterfly valve needs to consider factors such as medium type, temperature range, pressure requirements and fluid properties. The selection of suitable sealing materials can effectively improve the reliability and safety of the system and extend the service life of the butterfly valve. Finally, it is recommended to consult professional engineers or relevant technicians when selecting sealing materials to ensure that the selected materials meet the actual working conditions.
