Some Precautions For Using High Platform Ball Valve
As the leader in the ball valve industry, Sanitary Ball Valve naturally has its unique strength. Take high temperature as an example. As long as you pay attention to some questions, you can easily deal with it. So, what should you pay attention to in high temperature? Let's share it with you today.
High platform ball valves generally have a temperature of ≤150 degrees, and hard-sealed high platform ball valves generally have a temperature of ≤300 degrees. Soft-sealed high platform ball valves are usually used, but many customers use steam or hot water as media, with a temperature of about 180-250 degrees. What kind of high platform ball valve should we choose at this time?
PPL seals generally have a temperature resistance of ≤280 degrees, good sealing performance, and high temperature resistance. They are products that many customers like. If equipped with an actuator, you need to increase the actuator by one gear when choosing the actuator. If the temperature of the high platform ball valve exceeds 200 degrees, the valve should be raised The bracket and the actuator should be enlarged, so that the life of the valve and actuator will be greatly increased.
For high platform ball valves, storage is critical. Improper storage may cause damage to the valves. What should be paid attention to during storage?
The valve processing surface that can rust in the atmosphere should be coated with anti-rust oil for protection. For valves that are not used in the short term, the asbestos packing should be removed to avoid electrochemical corrosion and damage to the valve stem. Valves that have just entered the warehouse should be inspected. If rainwater or dirt enters during transportation, they should be wiped clean before storage. Valves placed outdoors must be covered with rainproof and dustproof items such as tarpaulin. The warehouse where the valves are stored should be kept clean and dry.
The valves should be kept in an orderly manner. Small valves should be placed on the shelves, and large valves should be placed on the floor of the warehouse in an orderly manner. They should not be piled up or placed randomly. Do not let the flange connection surface touch the ground to protect the valves from being damaged. The inlet and outlet of the valve should be sealed with wax paper or plastic sheets to prevent dirt from entering. Avoid improper storage and handling, broken handwheels, crooked valve stems, loose and lost fixing nuts between handwheels and valve stems, etc.
Therefore, you must pay attention to these details when storing the high platform ball valve to avoid affecting the service life of the ball valve due to storage.
