What are the socket welding temperature and pressure for valves?
Thread Content
Today at the power plant, I met a specialist who asked what the welding temperature and pressure for socket welding of valves are Could someone please help explain what temperature is meant by the socket welding temperature of a valve? What about the socket welding pressure?
It is generally recommended that valve manufacturers conduct scientific tests to determine the answer. Basically, SW applications operate at normal temperature and low pressure.
For valves with fluorine-lined interiors, it is necessary to consider the impact of the welding temperature on the lining, ensuring that it does not become too high.
It’s probably asking what temperature and pressure level this valve can handle; no other meaning is intended
I think we should ask about the design temperature and pressure of this valve
Temperature is closely related to the sealing ring; if it is a soft seal such as fluororubber, the temperature cannot be too high, while with a hard seal, temperatures of around 400 degrees can be tolerated. This depends greatly on the material used
