Characteristics of stainless steel ball valve
不锈钢球阀阀座主要的密封圈材料是聚四氟乙烯,它对几乎所有的化学物质都呈惰性,具有摩擦系数小、性能稳定、不易老化、温度适用范围广、密封性能优异的综合特性。但不锈钢球阀密封所用的PTFE的物理特性,包括膨胀系数高、对冷流敏感、导热性差,要求阀座密封的设计要围绕这些特性进行。
不锈钢球阀阀座的塑料材料还包括填充聚四氟乙烯、尼龙和许多其他材料。然而,当密封材料硬化时,密封的可靠性将被破坏,尤其是在低压差的情况下。此外,合成橡胶如丁腈橡胶也可用作阀座密封材料,但其适用介质和温度范围医药有限。另外,如果介质没有润滑,使用合成橡胶很容易卡死。
不锈钢球阀结构简单,一般密封圈是活动的,拆卸更换方便;当阀门全开或全关时,球体和阀座的密封面与介质隔离,当介质通过时,阀门密封面不会被腐蚀,因此适用范围广。
所有的固定不锈钢球阀都有浮动阀座,被介质挤压后移动。密封圈紧紧地压在球上,以确保密封。通常在球的上下轴上安装轴承,操作扭矩小,适用于高压大口径阀门。但为了降低球阀的工作扭矩,增加密封的可靠性,增加了油封球阀,在密封面之间注入专用润滑油,形成一层油膜,既增强了密封性能,又降低了密封性能。
其中不锈钢球阀的维护步骤如下:
用压缩空气吹扫球阀的外表面,检查并记下球阀上的标记,拆卸所有球阀,用煤油清洗零件。
检查零件缺陷:水压试验检查阀体强度;检查阀座与阀体、关闭件与密封圈的配合,并进行泄漏试验;检查阀杆和阀杆衬套的螺纹磨损情况;检查件和阀体的密封圈;检查法兰的结合面。
修复阀体:通过焊接修复缺陷,更换密封圈或堆焊密封面;对阀体和新密封圈进行泄漏试验;修整法兰结合面;打磨密封面。
修理零件:焊接缺陷或堆焊密封面;研磨或抛光密封面。
更换无法修复的零件,重新组装不锈钢球阀。对整个不锈钢球阀进行水压试验。不锈钢球阀应根据原始记录进行喷漆和标记。

The main sealing ring material of the stainless steel ball valve seat is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is inert to almost all chemical substances and possesses comprehensive characteristics such as low friction coefficient, stable performance, resistance to aging, wide temperature range, and excellent sealing performance. However, the physical properties of PTFE used in stainless steel ball valve seals, including high expansion coefficient, sensitivity to cold flow, and poor thermal conductivity, require that the design of the valve seat seal be centered around these characteristics.
The plastic materials for stainless steel ball valve seats also include filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), nylon, and many other materials. However, when the sealing material hardens, the reliability of the seal will be compromised, especially under low pressure differentials. Additionally, synthetic rubbers such as nitrile rubber can also be used as valve seat sealing materials, but their applicable media and temperature ranges are limited. Furthermore, if the medium is not lubricated, the use of synthetic rubber can easily cause jamming.
Stainless steel ball valves have a simple structure, with the sealing ring typically being removable for easy disassembly and replacement. When the valve is fully opened or closed, the sealing surfaces of the ball and valve seat are isolated from the medium. This ensures that the valve sealing surfaces are not corroded when the medium passes through, making the valve widely applicable.
All fixed stainless steel ball valves have floating seats that move after being squeezed by the medium. The sealing ring is tightly pressed against the ball to ensure sealing. Bearings are usually installed on the upper and lower shafts of the ball, resulting in low operating torque and suitable for high-pressure large-diameter valves. However, in order to reduce the operating torque of the ball valve and increase the reliability of the seal, oil-sealed ball valves have been added. Special lubricating oil is injected between the sealing surfaces to form an oil film, which not only enhances the sealing performance but also reduces the operating torque.
The maintenance steps for stainless steel ball valves are as follows:
Blow the outer surface of the ball valve with compressed air, inspect and record the markings on the ball valve, disassemble all ball valves, and clean the parts with kerosene.
Inspecting part defects: Conduct a hydraulic test to check the strength of the valve body; inspect the fit between the valve seat and the valve body, as well as the fit between the closure and the sealing ring, and perform a leakage test; inspect the thread wear of the valve stem and the valve stem bushing; inspect the sealing rings of the components and the valve body; inspect the joint surface of the flange.
Repair valve body: Repair defects through welding, replace the sealing ring or build up welding the sealing surface; conduct a leakage test on the valve body and the new sealing ring; trim the flange joint surface; polish the sealing surface.
Repair parts: weld defects or build-up welding of sealing surfaces; grind or polish sealing surfaces.
Replace the unrepairable parts and reassemble the stainless steel ball valve. Conduct a hydraulic test on the entire stainless steel ball valve. The stainless steel ball valve should be painted and marked according to the original records.
