what is plug valve?

Plug valve instructions:

The plug valve is a kind of fast switching through valve. Because the movement between the sealing surface has a wiping effect, and the contact with the flowing medium can be completely prevented when it is fully opened, it can also be used in the medium with suspended particles.

Another important feature is that it is easy to adapt to multi-channel construction, so that a valve can obtain two, three, or even four different flow channels. This simplifies piping design and reduces the number of valves and connections required for equipment.

Advantages of plug valve:

(1)The plug valve for frequent operation, open and close quickly, light.

(2)The plug valve fluid resistance is small.

(3)The plug valve has the advantages of simple structure, small relative volume, light weight and easy maintenance.

(4)Good sealing performance.

(5)Not limited by the installation direction, the flow of the medium can be arbitrary.

(6)No vibration, small noise. is not stable, then the check valve will be repeatedly switched on and off, will affect the life of the check valve. And if the check valve is broken, especially the mother control system, it needs to be shut down before it can be repaired.

Selection principle of plug valve:

According to the structural characteristics of the plug valve and the function of the design can be achieved, can be selected according to the following principles.

①It is used to distribute the medium and change the direction of the flow of the medium. The working temperature is not higher than 300C, the nominal pressure is PNs1.6MPa, and the nominal diameter is not more than 300mm. It is recommended to choose the multi-channel plug valve.

②On the equipment and pipes of milk, juice, beer and other food enterprises and pharmaceutical factories, it is recommended to choose austenitic stainless steel, tight conical plug valve.

③In the branch pipe, refining and cleaning equipment of oil field exploitation, natural gas field exploitation and pipeline transportation, the nominal pressure level is not more than Class300 and the nominal diameter is not more than 300mm. It is recommended to choose oil-seal conical plug valve.

④For the branch pipe, refining and cleaning equipment of oil field exploitation, natural gas exploitation and pipeline transportation, the nominal pressure level is not more than Class7500, the nominal diameter is not more than 900mm, and the operating temperature is not more than 340C. It is recommended to choose the oil-seal conical plug valve.

⑤In large scale chemistry: industry, pipelines and equipment containing corrosive media, the need to open or close faster occasions, for nitric acid based media can choose polytetrafluoroethylene sleeve seal cone plug valve; For acetic acid-based media, Crl8Nil 2M02T stainless steel Teflon sleeve sealing conical plug valves can be selected.

In the pipeline and equipment of gas, natural gas, HVAC system, nominal diameter is not more than 200nm, should choose packing type conical plug valve.

Use of plug valve:

Stainless steel two-way plug valve is widely used in oil field exploitation, transmission and refining equipment, but also widely used in petrochemical, chemical, gas, natural gas HVAC industry and general industry.
