[Science stickers] Various connection forms of valves, knowledge rises!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This is the most commonly used connection form in valves. According to the shape of the joint surface, it can be divided into the following types:

1. Smooth type: used for valves with low pressure. Processing is more convenient

2. Concave-convex type: high working pressure, medium hard washer can be used

3. Tongue and groove type: gaskets with greater plastic deformation can be used, which are widely used in corrosive media and have a better sealing effect.

4. Trapezoidal groove type: oval metal ring is used as a washer, used for valves with working pressure ≥64 kg/cm², or high temperature valves.

5. Lens type: The washer is a lens shape and is made of metal. Used for high-pressure valves with working pressure ≥100 kg/cm², or high-temperature valves.

6. O-ring type: This is a relatively new form of flange connection. It is developed with the appearance of various rubber O-rings. It is more reliable than ordinary flat gaskets in sealing effect.

A connection form in which the valve and two pipes are directly clamped together with bolts.

This is a simple connection method, often used for small valves. There are two situations:

1. Direct sealing: the internal and external threads directly play a sealing role. In order to ensure that the joints are not leaking, they are often filled with lead oil, thread hemp and PTFE raw material tape; among them, PTFE raw material tape is widely used every day; this material has good corrosion resistance and extremely sealing effect. Good, it is convenient to use and store. When disassembling, it can be completely removed, because it is a non-sticky film, which is much better than lead oil and hemp.

2. Indirect sealing: The tightening force of the thread is transmitted to the gasket between the two planes, so that the gasket plays a sealing role.

The ferrule connection has only been developed in my country in recent years. Its connection and sealing principle is that when the nut is tightened, the ferrule is under pressure, causing its blade to bite into the outer wall of the pipe, and the outer cone of the ferrule is in contact with the joint under pressure. The inner conical surface is in close contact, so leakage can be reliably prevented.

The advantages of this connection form are:

1. Small size, light weight, simple structure, easy to disassemble and assemble;

2. Strong connection force, wide range of use, and can withstand high pressure (1000 kg/cm²), high temperature (650°C) and shock and vibration;

3. Can choose a variety of materials, suitable for anti-corrosion;

4. The processing accuracy is not high;

5. Easy to install at high altitude. At present, the ferrule connection form has been adopted in some small-caliber valve products in my country.

This is a quick connection method. It only requires two bolts and is suitable for low-pressure valves that are frequently disassembled.

All the above connection forms use external force to offset the pressure of the medium to achieve sealing. The following describes the connection form that uses medium pressure for self-tightening. Its sealing ring is installed at the inner cone and is at a certain angle with the side facing the medium. The pressure of the medium is transmitted to the inner cone and then to the sealing ring. On the cone with a certain angle, two component forces are generated, one with The center line of the valve body is parallel to the outside, and the other is pressed against the inner wall of the valve body. The latter component is the self-tightening force. The greater the medium pressure, the greater the self-tightening force. Therefore, this connection form is suitable for high-pressure valves. Compared with flange connection, it saves a lot of material and manpower, but it also needs a certain pre-tightening force to be reliable when the pressure in the valve is not high.

Valves made with the principle of self-tightening are generally high-pressure valves. There are many types of valve connection. For example, some small valves that do not need to be removed are welded to the pipe; some non-metallic valves are connected by sockets, and so on. Valve users should be treated in accordance with the situation of Gu Xiu.
