Selection of valves
Thread Content
In the production process, there is a type of material that contains solid particles with relatively high hardness. The diameter of these solid particles is 100 mesh, and their concentration is around 10%. The temperature of this material is 250 degrees. I would like to ask which type of valve would be suitable for use in the production pipelines. Currently, carbon steel globe valves are being used, but they often fail. Could someone please advise me?
Use metal hard-sealed ball valves or butterfly valves
Is the material a liquid or a gas? Is it corrosive? The switching frequency of the valve? Are there any special requests? What are the main faults of the valves currently in use? Only after clarifying all of the above can one make a choice
Choosing a ball valve should work well, as it is not prone to clogging
I think butterfly valves or gate valves are better for operating conditions with low pressure; this is just for reference!
A typical discharge valve – on the market, some are called discharge valves, while others are referred to as knife gate valves! Take a look to see if it suits your occasion!
