Question:

The difference between gate valve and butterfly valve, as well as cut-off valve,

what are their applicable conditions? Advantages and disadvantages?

Answer:

The gate valve is one of the simplest valves. Generally manual, most of the electric valve failure, as a manual. Butterfly valve is more, I saw the pneumatic butterfly valve, that is, with gas control closed, general and solenoid valve matching.Without strict conditions and advantages and disadvantages, of course, the equipment requires a relatively high degree of automatic control. I can check it out on Baidu.
Butterfly valve is a disc type of open and close parts reciprocating reciprocating about 90 degrees to open, close and adjust the fluid channel of a valve.Advantages: the butterfly valve has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, light weight, material consumption, installation of small size, and torque is small, simple and rapid operation, and also has good flow characteristics of regulation and sealed off, is nearly 10 years the fastest growing valve, high temperature and high pressure, and to large diameter, high sealing function of the direction, long life, good adjusting features and a valve development.Disadvantages: the butterfly valve relative to the gate, ball valve pressure loss is relatively large, it is suitable for pressure loss requirements lax piping system.Under normal circumstances, it is not suitable for high temperature and high pressure pipeline system.Valve is closed parts (valve) moving along the centerline of the valve seat, the valve stem to open or close the trip is relatively short, but very reliable cut off function, and because changes in the valve seat and the valve stroke is proportional to, is also very suitable for the regulation of traffic.Advantages: in the process of opening and closing, the friction between the disc and the valve body is smaller than that of the gate valve, so it is wearableThe opening height is generally only 1/4 of the diameter of the seat channel, so it is much smaller than the gate valveGenerally, there is only one sealing surface on the body and disc, so the manufacturing process is good and easy to maintain;Disadvantages: the flow resistance coefficient is relatively large, resulting in pressure lossUnsuitable for large caliber productionThe opening and closing moment is larger and the structure length is longer.
Valve is closed parts (RAM) along the vertical axis of the mobile channel valve in the pipeline, used primarily as a medium cut that open and close, generally do not have to do with traffic regulation, it can be used for low temperature and low pressure can also apply to high temperature and high pressure, and according to the different valve material for different media. In various types of valves, gate valve is the most widely used.Advantages: low fluid resistanceSmall torque required for opening and closingYou can use the ring road in which the medium flows in the two direction, that is to say, the medium is free of flowWhen fully open, the sealing surface is less eroded by the working medium than the cut-off valveThe structure is simple and the manufacturing process is betterThe structure length is shortDisadvantages: the overall size and opening height are larger, the space required for installation is also largerIn the process of opening and closing, there is relative friction between the sealing surfaces, and wear more easily, and even cause friction at high temperatureGeneral gate valve has two sealing pairs, to the processing, grinding and maintenance increased the number of difficultiesLong opening and closing time;
