Methods To Prolong The Service Life Of High Platform Ball Valve

The closing part of Sanitary Ball Valve is a sphere, which rotates around the center line of the valve body to achieve a valve that opens and closes. When we purchase a high-platform ball valve, we should understand its various characteristics. So what are its specific characteristics that are different from other ball valves?

The different characteristics of high-platform ball valves are as follows:

1. The one-piece high-platform ball valve has a simple structure, small size and light weight.

2. The fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is equal to that of a pipe section of the same length.

3. Tight and reliable. At present, the sealing surface material of the ball valve widely uses plastic, which has good sealing performance and has been widely used in vacuum systems.

4. The one-piece high-platform ball valve is easy to operate and opens and closes quickly. It only needs to rotate 90° from full open to full closed, which is convenient for long-distance control.

5. Convenient maintenance. The ball valve has a simple structure, and the sealing ring is generally movable, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.

6. It has a wide range of applications, with diameters ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, and can be used from high vacuum to high pressure. When the ball rotates 90 degrees, the inlet and outlet should all present a spherical surface, thereby cutting off the flow.

7. When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surface of the ball and the valve seat is isolated from the medium, and when the medium passes, it will not cause erosion of the valve sealing surface.

We must maintain the habit of frequent maintenance, cleaning and maintenance during the use of high-platform ball valves, and hope that everyone uses the equipment safely. So how do we extend the service life of high-platform ball valves in order to extend the service life of high-platform ball valves?

The following are the methods to extend the service life of high-platform ball valves:

1. The storage environment of the ball valve should be paid attention to. It should be stored in a dry and ventilated room, and both ends of the passage should be blocked.

2. The ball valve should be checked regularly, and the dirt on it should be removed, and anti-rust oil should be applied to its surface.

3. After the ball valve is installed, it should be regularly inspected to ensure its normal operation.

4. Check whether the sealing surface of the ball valve is worn, and repair or replace it according to the situation.

5. Check the wear of the trapezoidal thread of the valve stem and the valve stem nut, whether the packing is outdated and invalid, etc., and make necessary replacements.
6. The sealing performance of the ball valve should be tested to ensure its performance.

7. If the hand wheel is lost, it should be replaced in time, and it cannot be replaced with an adjustable wrench.

8. The ball valve in operation should be intact, with complete bolts on the flange and bracket, intact threads, and no looseness.
