What is the difference between the Z36R-H101 and Z3CR-H101 valves?
:'(No one going to explain it? The application standards for these two types of valve structures are different, and it’s not clear what the specific differences are. I need some expert advice!
The information on the valve selection manual can be found in Chapter 1, which covers the methods for assigning valve models as well as the specifications for valve markings; it lists all types of valve models in detail, so it’s worth taking a close look
Z36R-H101: Z refers to a gate valve; 3 indicates the drive mechanism, which is turbine decompression; 6 means it is a welded valve. As for R, I’m not sure what it stands for! I hope a professional can explain this!
This is the model from Luoyang Plant: Z denotes a gate valve, 3 indicates 300 Lb rating, and 6 refers to a valve cover and gland connected by bolts, with a stem supported externally; the design standard is API600. R indicates that the connection method is RF, while C also denotes a valve cover and gland connected by bolts, with a stem supported externally, under the API602 design standard. J1 indicates that the valve body material is WCB, and 01 means that the internal components are of type 1
