Daily maintenance of ball valve
The new parts need to be cleaned before assemblingThe assembly should have metal fragments, fiber, fat is not allowed (except the requirement to use) dust and other impurities, foreign matter contamination, adhesion or remain in part into the cavity on the surface or, if the packing is micro discharge, to lock the stem nut.Note: do not lock too tight, usually lock 1/4 circle to 1 laps, the leak will stop.(A) disassemblyMake the valve in a half open position, flush and remove dangerous substances that may exist inside and outside the valve body.Close the ball valve, remove the connecting bolts and nuts on both sides of the flange, and then remove the valve completely from the line.In order to remove the drive - actuator, a connecting bracket, lock washer, stem nut, butterfly spring, glam, wear plates, valve stem packing.Remove the body cap connecting bolts and nuts, separate the valve cover from the valve body and take off the valve cover washer.Make sure the ball is in the "off" position, which can be easily removed from the valve body and then removed from the valve seat.A hole in the body downward nudge stem until completely removed, and then remove the packing ring and the O.Caution: Please operate carefully to avoid galling, stem surfaces and body packing box seals.B) reassembleCleaning and inspection of the parts removed, it is strongly recommended to use spare parts package replacement valve seat and valve cover, gaskets and other seals.Assemble in reverse order of disassembly.Cross the locking flange bolts with the specified torque.Lock the stem nut with the specified torque.
Longer service life and maintenance free period will depend on several factors: normal working conditions, maintaining a consistent temperature / pressure ratio, and reasonable corrosion dataBall valve in the closed state, there is still pressure fluid inside the valve bodyRemove the line pressure before servicing and leave the valve in the open positionDisconnect the power or air supply before servicingBefore the maintenance, remove the actuating mechanism from the bracketMust be found on the ball valve, the downstream pipeline has been removable pressure, in order to disassemble, disassemble operationIt is important to be careful not to damage the sealing surfaces of the parts, especially non-metallic parts, to remove the O rings. Use special tools when taking apart and re assemblingWhen assembling, the bolts on the flange must be symmetrical and tightened gradually and evenlyThe cleaning agent should be compatible with rubber, plastic, metal parts and working medium (such as gas) in the ball valve. When the working medium is gas, the metal parts can be cleaned by using gasoline (GB484-89). Non metallic parts are cleaned with pure water or alcoholThe non-metallic parts should be removed from the cleaning agent immediately after cleaning and should not be soaked for a long timeNeed to be cleaned by washing the wall after volatile cleaning agent (cleaning agent can not dip silk rub) for assembly, but not for a long time on hold, otherwise it will rust, dust pollution
