What Are The Precautions For The Care And Maintenance Of Industrial Valves?
The maintenance and upkeep of Sanitary Valve is the key to ensure its long-term stable operation and extend its service life. What are the precautions for the maintenance and upkeep of industrial-grade valves?
Regular inspection: Regularly perform visual inspection and performance testing on the valve, including checking whether the valve body, valve cover, valve stem, sealing surface, etc. are damaged, corroded or worn.
Cleaning: Keep the valve and its surroundings clean, and regularly remove dust and dirt from the surface of the valve, especially the valve seat and sealing surface, to prevent impurities from affecting the sealing performance.
Lubrication: Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the valve, such as the valve stem and stuffing box. Use appropriate lubricants, avoid too much or too little, so as not to affect the normal operation of the valve.
Fastener inspection: Check all fasteners of the valve, including bolts, nuts, etc., to ensure that they are tightened and not loose or damaged.
Replacement of seals: Regularly check the seals of the valve, such as O-rings, gaskets, packing, etc., and replace them in time if they are found to be aging, deformed or damaged.
Operating mechanism inspection: If it is an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic valve, its operating mechanism, including electrical components, pneumatic components, hydraulic components, etc., should be checked regularly to ensure that they function properly.
Anti-corrosion treatment: Depending on the working environment of the valve, anti-corrosion treatment may be required, such as coating protection, electroplating, spraying, etc.
Record maintenance log: Establish detailed maintenance records, including the date, content and results of each inspection, maintenance and repair, so as to track the health status and maintenance history of the valve.
Professional training: Ensure that operating and maintenance personnel receive appropriate training and understand the operating principles, maintenance procedures and safety precautions of the valve.
Comply with manufacturer guidelines: Strictly follow the maintenance guidelines and recommendations provided by the valve manufacturer, and use spare parts and tools recommended by the original manufacturer.
By following the above precautions, industrial-grade valves can be effectively maintained and maintained to ensure their reliability and performance throughout their life cycle.
