How long does a cast steel gate valve last?

How long does a cast steel gate valve last?

How many years is the service life of cast steel gate valve? Generally, at normal temperature, the medium is water and there is no high-strength hydraulic impact. Most cast steel gate valves can be used for 3 years and 5 years. The contract signed between the manufacturer and the customer states that the warranty period is one year, so it is necessary to eliminate the situation that the customer changes the working conditions at will. Cast steel gate valve can be used under the working condition of about 300 degrees

Can cast steel gate valve be used under the working condition of about 300 degrees?

 

The abrasion resistance of the first-class valve is 2000 times, while that of the first-class valve is 4000 times. The service life of gate valves varies from country to country. It is stipulated to be 30 ~ 40 years in Japan, while it is stipulated to be 40 years in the United States and France.
working principle
Most gate valves are forced sealed, that is, when the valve is closed, the gate shall be forced to the valve seat by external force to ensure the tightness of the sealing surface. The gate of the gate valve moves in a straight line with the valve stem, which is also called rising stem gate valve. Generally, there are trapezoidal threads on the lifting rod. Through the nut at the top of the valve and the guide groove on the valve body, the rotary motion is changed into linear motion, that is, the operating torque is changed into operating thrust.
purpose
1. The gate valve is only used to fully open and close the medium on various pipelines or equipment, and is not allowed to be used for throttling.
2. For the gate valve with hand wheel or handle, the auxiliary lever shall not be added during operation (if the seal is not tight, the sealing surface or other parts shall be inspected and repaired). Turn the hand wheel and handle clockwise to close, otherwise it will open. The gate valve with transmission mechanism shall be used according to the provisions of the product operation manual.

1.How long do valves last shut?

You can expect a shut-off valve to last about 10 to 25 years, with an average of 20 years. But, if they are not “exercised” every year or two, there is good chance a valve will be freeze prematurely in the open position just when you really need it to close for a plumbing emergency or repair.
2.When should a gate valve be replaced?
These problems are typically caused by mineral buildup, so you should fully close and open your gate valves every few months to clear potential problems. If your gate valve has severe pitting or corrosion, you will need to replace it.
3.How do you fix a gate valve that doesn’t close?

he first step if a gate valve will not close completely

If the handle of the valve does not turn freely then loosen the packing nut just above the valve body and around the stem of the valve. Loosening it just one turn should be fine – just remember to tighten it back up when you are done.

BALL VALVE INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

Ball valves of all materials and seat types are easy to use and long lasting if installed and maintained correctly.

valve-installation-maintenance-ball-valves

Ball valves of all materials and seat types are easy to use and long lasting if installed and maintained correctly.

Storage Conditions

  • To protect the seat and seals, do not unpack the valves until they are ready for installation. By doing this you are protecting the valve from dust and debris which may eventually cause seat leakage.
  • Keep in a cool well ventilated space if storing for a longer period of time. For cast steel valves (Black finish) the body may require additional application of oil to prevent corrosion.

Valve Installation

  • Ball valves can be installed in any orientation. However in bigger sizes to reduce load on the valve caused by the actuator or gearbox trying to pull away it may be necessary to install with the drive shaft vertical. Electric actuators usually require vertical installation.
  • Verify the material of the ball valve body, seat and ball before installation. Ensure that there are no defects caused by storage or transportation.
  • Verify the pressure rating of the valve vs the application requirement.
  • Verify the temperature rating of the valve vs the application requirement.
  • Verify the valve thread (BSP, NPT, socket weld ANSI), flange (ANSI 150, ANSI 300 etc) or solvent weld (BLP schedule 40) vs the application requirement.
  • Complete all welding works before valve installation and be sure the flange has cooled to ambient  temperature before installing the ball valve.
  • Make sure there is no welding residue, waste, rust or other debris in the pipe before installation. Wash with water or a mild detergent if needed.
  • Clean the surface of the flange or pipe thread that will come in contact with the ball valve to ensure it is free of rust and debris. Wash with water or a mild detergent if needed.
  • Make sure there is no warpage of the flange or misalignment of the ball valve in relation to the flange.
  • Support the valve where necessary to reduce load on the piping (important on bigger valve and actuator assemblies).
  • For 2 way and 3way threaded valves (BVS, BVF8, BLS3) it will be necessary in metal pipework to allow for removal of the valve for maintenance by having a pipe union installed. 3 piece threaded and 2 piece flanged ball valves can be removed for maintenance without disturbing the pipework.
  • Tighten the bolts on a flanged valve one at a time doing it in stages so even pressure is applied and a seal is formed between the valve and flanges.
  • Once the installation is complete, operate the valve several times to ensure it is free from impingement and rotating through its full 90 degree operation.

Field Testing

  • Ball valves are designed to hold rated pressures only. Test pressures above rated working pressure in the closed position can cause damage to the valve.
  • With the ball in the open position the pipeline can be tested up to the valve hydrostatic test pressure.
  • Seat leakage can occur with foreign material between the seat and ball. If this occurs, open the valve 10 to 15 degrees to obtain high velocity flushing action. Close and repeat if necessary.
  • Seat leakage can result from a rotational shift in position of the ball in relation to the body. Readjust the closing stop on the actuator/gearbox as necessary.

Operation

  • Do not use the valve at pressures above its working pressure.
  • If the valve is jammed in a position between open and closed check the actuator operation. If necessary remove the actuator and manually operate the valve to fault find. Remove and check valves for foreign objects if required (see maintenance).
  • Excessive torque from the actuator can damage the internal valve parts.

Maintenance

  • Cycle the valve once a month or more if it is not used regularly.
  • Relieve the system pressure before maintaining the valve.
  • To remove from pipework reverse the installation sequence.
  • Replace valve seats and seals by removing the end plates. With the ball in the closed position press carefully push out the end seats and the ball. Avoid damage to the polished ball surface using a soft clean cloth to hold. Push the drive stem up from inside the cavity to expose the stem seals. Reinstall the seals, stem, ball, seats and end plates. Use only approved lubrication on the seals. Test and refit into line as in installation sequence.
  • For operational instructions please see each video link under products.

Design Guidance & Product Advantages

  • When sizing the valve always consider available space for the actuator and feedback devices.
  • Consider valve supports to carry excess loads.
  • Extension shafts in SS316 are available upon request. This allows the valve to be buried in pits and actuators to be above ground.

What is valve Casting?

Casting does one of the earliest production methods use by many industrial organizations in the history of art and design. However, their uses and applications have a long and varied history, and they continue to play an important role in today’s artistic and industrial production areas. Casting is a quick and inexpensive way to give a metal (or other material) object the shape you want. The metal shapes created by the casting process may be complex designs that would otherwise involve a significant technological investment if done in any other way. Read this guide to learn more about casting, its types, advantages, and disadvantages. First, let’s have a look at what casting is.

Metal Pouring

What is valve Casting?

“Valve Casting is a manufacturing technique. In the casting process, a liquid material is added into a mold to get the desired item. The mold has a hollow space of the required shape. The liquid material in the mold is allowed to solidify. This solid part is called a “casting.” The liquid material present in the mold in solid form is ejected or broken out of the mold to finish the process.”.

Types Of Casting

3D Printing Investment Casting

Sand Casting

“This casting procedure uses a sand mold to create castings .”Sand casting can use to produce steel, iron, and most nonferrous alloys. The most common casting method, sand casting, uses disposable sand casting molds (The mold in sand casting is made up of Sand) to create intricate metal pieces in almost any alloy. However, sand casting has a poor production rate.

This is because to get the product; you must destroy the mold. Therefore, this method has a disadvantage compared to other methods in which the molds are reusable. The sand casting technique involves using a furnace, metal, design, and sand casting mold. First, the metal is heated in the furnace and poured into a sand casting mold. The solidified casting can be removed once the sand mold separates along a dividing line.

Foundry Mean

Die Casting

“To make a casting, a high-pressure metal liquid is forced into a precision metal mold cavity at fast speed, then cooled and solidified under pressure.”

Die casting is a production process. The molds used in this process are not wasted. They are reusable molds. These reusable molds are called dies. The die casting manufacturing process does use to make geometrically complex metal objects. A furnace, metal, mold(the mold in Die casting is made up of metal), die casting machine, and die are all used in the die casting process. Like sand casting, the metal does the heat in a furnace. Then, it does force into a die casting mold (dies). The metal heated in the furnace does aluminum or zinc (nonferrous). The molten metal feeds into the dies, where it cools quickly and hardens into the completed item, referred to as the casting.

Die casting molds consist of two halves with a cavity

The molten liquid melt is forced into this cavity during the casting process. The halves are mounted on a fixed and movable machine surface. The mold halves are subjected to a great deal of pressure throughout the casting process, which is why locks are included. Furthermore, specific areas of the die casting mold are cooled and/or heated in order for the casting to solidify as required.

Die Casting manufacturers are of two types:

  1. Hot Chambers Manufacturers –  These manufacturers can use alloys with low melting temperatures, for example, zinc.
  2. Cold Chambers Manufacturers can use alloys with high melting temperatures, for example, aluminum.
investment casting vs sand casting

Investment Casting

“Thousands of years ago, molten metal does pour into a disposable ceramic mold in a method known as investment casting .” In the modern age, there are many investment casting foundries where the investment casting process occurs. First, a wax pattern – a disposable component shaped like the intended part – can use to create the mold for investment casting.

After the pattern does melt into the mold, it can cover in a ceramic slurry. This “invests” in the design. Investment casting is also known as “lost-wax cast” because the wax pattern can remove from the mold. The lox-wax process is one-to-one, meaning that one pattern makes one item. This increases manufacturing time and costs. Because the mold does destroy during the manufacturing process, parts with intricate geometries or fine details can still make.

types of patterns in casting

Shell Mold Casting

“Shell mold casting is a metal casting sand process. In this casting process, molten metal is poured into a disposable mold of the desired shape”.
In shell mold casting, on the other hand, the mold is a thin-walled shell made by depositing a sand-resin mixture around a design. Multiple shell molds are made from the pattern, which is a metal piece shaped like the desired part. Higher manufacturing speeds are possible with a reusable pattern, whereas complex geometries are possible with disposable molds. A metal pattern, an oven, a sand-resin combination, a dump box, and molten metal are required for shell mold casting.

casting

Centrifugal Casting

“ It is a permanent mold procedure that fills a mold with molten material using centrifugal force.” This casting method is of three kinds.

  1. Centrifugal Casting
  2. True centrifugal casting
  3. Semi centrifugal casting

Their mechanism of the process is the same. Molten metal is poured into a bowl, from which it is centrifugally driven into the mold( rotating around an axis). The centrifugal force is the radially directed outward force on an object moving in a curved path. Alfred Krupp developed the centrifugal casting process in 1852. He used centrifugal casting for making railway wheels. By carefully controlling the metal and crystal structure, high-quality items can be produced utilizing this casting technique. These casting techniques are primarily employed to create rotationally symmetric items. This procedure does not produce the finished result; it takes some machining to achieve a fine finish.

Treatment of steel casting defects

Permanent Mold Casting

Permanent mold casting is a metal casting method. In this method, the mold can fill with molten metal and remains close until it cools and hardens into the desired shape. Permanent mold casting is similar to sand casting. Sand casting, on the other hand, uses a disposable mold that is thrown away after each cycle. Like die casting, permanent molds use metal molds (dies) that can be reused thousands of times and usually consist of steel or cast iron. In permanent molds, casting can also refer to as gravity die casting, in which case there is no external force to pour the molten metal into the mold.

Permanent mold casting does most often use to make small base metal parts with consistent wall thickness in large quantities. Alloys of aluminum, copper, and magnesium are the common non-ferrous metals used in this procedure. However, it can also use graphite molds to cast iron and steel.

Advantages Of Casting

Following are the advantages of castings which make it best among most manufacturing processes.

  1. Casting makes the item have extremely intricate form and internal hollows.
  2. It can use to create parts ranging in size from a few hundred kilos to a few kilograms (thousand of kilograms).
  3. Both non-ferrous and ferrous metallic elements do cast.
  4. It is cost-effective and waste-free since the excess metal from each casting is re-metalized and re-used.
  5. It is a process that is very adaptable to the needs of mass manufacturing, allowing for the rapid creation of vast quantities of a particular casting.
  6. Casting tools are more affordable and straightforward.
  7. Only castings can make certain metals and alloys.
  8. From casting, an exact object is created.
  9. The isotropic structure is created.
  10. Among all production methods, it is the most cost-effective.
  11. Casting can use to make composite components.

Disadvantages Of Casting

No doubt, casting is the most cost-effective method among all production methods, and exact objects can create from casting. But there are some disadvantages of this method. Following are the disadvantages of this method:

  1. Surface quality is relatively rough, requiring a wider tolerance and making mating interfaces unsuitable.
  2. Some metal casting processes have a limit in terms of size and pattern.
  3. Although additive manufacturing technologies such as binder jetting have recently been utilized to manufacture molds, patterns are time-consuming and expensive to create.
  4. Some casting processes are costly for medium runs.
  5. The size and substance of the part are determined by the casting method used. For permanent mold castings, for example, only non-ferrous metals are allowed.
  6. This method does hinder casting defects, for example, moisture in the sand.
  7. When compared to forging, it has lower fatigue strength.

Applications Of Casting

Let’s have a look at some applications of the casting process

General applications

The following are some examples of general casting applications.

  1. Parts made of cast iron are utilized at railway crossings.
  2. Transportation vehicles.
  3. Applications of atomic energy

  11. Engine block for a car
  12. Tool beds for machines
  13. Rolls for the mill
  14. Pipes for water and sewage.
  15. Engines for transport vehicles

Applications of Casting in the Automobile industry:

Components of complex shape and size were required in the vehicle industry. Other manufacturing methods are unable to make these pieces. Therefore, the casting process does use to make 60% of the components in an automobile. Because the strength of Casting components is greater than that of other manufacturing parts, strength is a critical attribute in automobiles.

  1. Cylinder Block
  2. Fuel Intake part
  3. Piston Ring

What is a non-slam check valve?

To answer this question we must first consider the basic structure of a check valve. A check valve consists of two ports; an inlet for liquid or gas to enter the valve and an outlet for it to exit the valve. Within the chamber of the check valve is contained an opening and closing mechanism (valve disc). Therefore, liquid or gas can only pass through the valve in one direction, hence it is sometimes referred to as a non-return valve, one-way valve etc. When the liquid or gas attempts to flow backwards through the valve the disc will close or slam shut. The surge of the backflow hitting the closed disc can create a hydraulic shock or water hammer. Water hammering can cause problems such as pipe rupture, collapse or damage to pumping systems. To get around these problems, the non-slam check valve utilises an internal coiled spring downstream from the disc. So instead of relying on backward flow to close the valve, as the forward flow starts to slow, the valve is closed off with the spring mechanism, eliminating any backflow and the cause of the water hammer.

What-is-a-non-slam-check-valve

Applications of Non-Slam Check Valves

Typical applications of Non-Slam Check Valves would include:

  • Centrifugal Compressor Discharge
  • Reciprocation Compressor Discharge (Sizing is critical for this application)
  • Rapid Closure requirements
  • Low Pressure Drop Requirements
  • Salt Water Fire Safety Systems Critical Service
  • Desalination Reverse Osmosis Process
  • Critical Applications
  • Non Serviceable Locations *
  • High system deceleration applications
  • Elevate Valve Slamming applications
  • High Temperature critical applications
  • Cryogenic Application
  • Pulsating Flow Applications
  • Renewable Energy Hydrogen Service
  • Lethal Service **

What is the different Y strainer and Basket Strainer?

Basket strainers are a device typically connected to a pumps suction, which is used to filter out solids or debris larger than the mesh contained within the strainer, which would otherwise damage the pump, internal parts or system. They are used to capture particles which are usually visible to the naked eye, and if smaller, filters are typically used.

 

Strainer Vs Filter
Used to capture larger   solids visible to naked eye Used to capture   particles invisible to naked eye <40 microns which may include salts, or carbon   particles
Designed for a single   type of fluid Can capture   different fluids such as water within oil
Lower pressure drop   enabling use of low pressure designs of pumps Require high   pressure pumping involving high powered positive displacement or multistage pumps   which if selected incorrectly will experience rapid wear by the handling of   such particles
Filter mesh is designed   to be reused over many years Can be single use or   reused through the use of backwashing

 

Working Principle of Strainers

What is a Basket Strainer

Basket strainers are a device typically connected to a pumps suction, which is used to filter out solids or debris larger than the mesh contained within the strainer, which would otherwise damage the pump, internal parts or system. They are used to capture particles which are usually visible to the naked eye, and if smaller, filters are typically used.

Designs consist of a suction inlet, discharge outlet, bolted top cover and casing. The casing holds a filter typically manufactured from wire mesh designed to filter solids which become trapped by the mesh, and sink within the casing. Top covers can be clear or solid. Housings may have a drain at the bottom of the casing where solids will sink to enable them to be drained away.

Basket Strainer Designs

There are various designs known as Y Type, Simplex, Duplex or Backwash.

what is a Y STRAINER

What is a Y Type Strainer?

This type of design is the most economical type which can be mounted horizontally or vertically and is compact in design. Other designs can typically only work horizontally.

They are cast in one piece, meaning they usually have a higher pressure rating tolerance. However due to their design, they produce a larger pressure drop than other variants. 

What is a Simplex Strainer? 

Simplex models are designed for larger pipework, are longer and wider in design containing a significantly larger basket with removable lid for ease of maintenance.

Due to the larger surface area they are designed for capturing larger amounts of solids, and produce lower pressure drops. They can only be installed horizontally, but are easy to inspect and maintain without drainage of pipework. 

What is a Duplex Strainer? 

Duplex models are very similar to simplex strainers in design, however contain two filter baskets which can operate simultaneously or separately. Having twin filters ensures processes can run interrupted whilst they are maintained, as one can continue to function, while the other is maintained. 

 

Self Cleaning Strainer/Backwash / Automatic Strainer Design 

Self cleaning strainers, also known as backwash filters or automatic strainers consist of a strainer, drain, scraper and motor.

Within the strainer there is a hollow shaft with a blade which when the cleaning process is initiated, scrapes along the inside of the mesh removing debris. Simultaneously a bottom outlet valve opens creating an area of low pressure causing the recently freed debris to flow via the bottom outlet valve and be drained away.

The cleaning process is initiated either by a timer, which starts the motor located at the top of the unit to begin the screening process or via a differential pressure switch which senses when the screen is blocked.

Pressure switches are located on the inlet and outlet of the unit and when the inlet pressure is higher than the outlet pressure, the filter is known to be blocked.

These are low maintenance designs enabling the mesh to remain clean and free from solids with long maintenance intervals, without manual

Difference Between Gate Valve And Globe Valve

Gate valves and globe valves are two of the most common valves used in industrial applications. Both contribute greatly to any industrial services. They may look alike but these valves function differently.  In this article, you will know what makes the gate and globe individually unique as well as the major differences between the two valves.

Gate Valve

Gate valves are linear valves belonging to the shutoff valve family. Characterized by its wedge-like disc, the gate valve is commonly used for isolating media because of can tightly seal off media. This kind of valve can be used in applications where tight sealing is required. A special kind of gate valve, knife gate valve, is used in thicker and more viscous media.

Gate valves provide little pressure drops since no obstruction comes in the way of media flow. The gate operates by the gate disc moving upwards to open the valve. It closes by moving the disc downwards to meet with the seats. The disc of the gate valve can be formed like a wedge, knife or parallel.

While it does have some throttling capacity, the gate valve is not used to regulate the flow of media. Its disc is thin so the vibration from the media causes this thin disc to misalign from its seat. This condition causes damage and shortens its service life. To lengthen the valve life, the gate valve should fully open or fully close when in use.

Globe Valve 

The globe valve is also a member of the linear motion valve family. Its functions include stopping and starting of media as well as regulate the flow of media. Because of its design, the globe valve provides a tight seal with fewer chances of leakage.

The globe valve is aptly named as such because of its traditional body design similar to that of the globe. But as one gate valve China manufacturer would tell you, however, modern globe valves may adapt to other body shapes. A plug-like disc allows or prohibits the flow of media.

The seats of the gate valve are parallel to the flow of the media so there is less seat erosion when the valve is on. This also makes the globe valve a great throttling valve. The downside is, there is a high-pressure drop because of its design. 

 

If you look at the image above, you’d notice that the valve forces the media to change its flow direction exactly inside the valve. Additionally, the media flow inside the valve depends on the space between the seat and the disc. The farther these are, the more fluid comes in.

Globe valves highly suitable for applications where safety and leaks are the main concerns. These valves are often in top-entry design, meaning, access to the internal components of the valve is from the top.

Gate Valve vs. Globe Valve

There is always a comparison between the gate valve and the globe valve. Members of the linear valve family, you’d find these two in tandem in pipe systems. How would you use these two? Look at the differences between the two below:

  • Structure

One of the main differences between the gate valve and the globe valve is how these look. The gate valve construction is much simpler. Much of its internal components are located on the top part of the valve body. When it is turned on, its body becomes hollow. That’s why there is a little pressure drop. The gate valve may have a rising or a non-rising stem.

On the contrary, many globe valve parts are inside the cavity itself. Since its primary purpose is to throttle and provide positive shut-off, the design allows obstructions that aid the globe valve in this purpose. The design also permits changes in flow direction and rate that contributes to a high-pressure drop. The globe has a rising stem.

  • Applications

The gate valve is suitable for applications where low-pressure drops are of utmost importance. It’s a multidirectional valve. The globe is best used in applications where massive changes in pressure are not an issue. This valve is unidirectional.

  • Function

The gate valve is not designed for flow control; it is for isolation of media. The gate valve cannot handle the strength of the media flowing in a partially opened position. On the other hand, the globe valve is more of a control valve.

  • How They Work

In the gate valve working mechanism, the disc lodges between the seats. Its movement is at the right angle in relation to the media flow. It provides either full flow or no flow at all. If you open the valve, the flow space is as big as the valve cavity with little extra where the stem and the seats are located as you’d notice in the first image.

Conclusion

A fascinating facet of valves is that they may look the same but they can function quite differently. This remains true in the case of gate and globe valves. If you are seeking an industrial valve supplier, you can choose manufacturers in the china,  Or you can also get the great manufacturers in this complete valve manufacturers guide in China.
