Possible problems when using soft sealing butterfly valve

Nov 29, 2021

Nothing is perfect, so I will lead everyone to take a look at the possible problems that may exist in the use of soft-sealed butterfly valves .

1. Since the multi-layer soft and hard stacked sealing ring is fixed on the valve plate, when the valve plate is normally open, the medium will form a positive scouring on its sealing surface. The soft sealing band in the metal sheet sandwich will directly affect the sealing performance after being scoured.

2. Restricted by structural conditions, this structure is not suitable for valves with a diameter below DN200, because the overall structure of the valve plate is too thick and the flow resistance is large.

3. Due to the principle of the triple eccentric structure, the seal between the sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat depends on the torque of the transmission device to press the valve plate against the valve seat. In the positive flow state, the higher the medium pressure, the tighter the sealing extrusion. When the flow channel medium flows back, as the medium pressure increases, the unit positive pressure between the valve plate and the valve seat is less than the medium pressure, the seal begins to leak.

The high-performance soft sealing butterfly valve is characterized in that the valve seat sealing ring is composed of multiple layers of stainless steel sheets on both sides of the soft T-shaped sealing ring.

The sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat is an oblique cone structure, and the surface of the oblique cone of the valve plate is welded with temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials; the spring fixed between the pressure plate of the adjusting ring and the adjusting bolt of the pressure plate are assembled together. This structure effectively compensates for the tolerance zone between the shaft sleeve and the valve body and the elastic deformation of the valve stem under the medium pressure, and solves the sealing problem of the valve in the two-way interchangeable medium conveying process.

Therefore, the utility model does not install soft and hard multi-layer sealing rings on the valve plate as in the prior art, but directly installs on the valve body. Adding an adjustment ring between the pressure plate and the valve seat is a very ideal two-way hard sealing method. . It can replace gate valves and ball valves.

I believe that through the above introduction, everyone is no stranger to the problems that may exist in the use of soft-sealed butterfly valves.
