Question:

What is the difference between low pressure valves and medium pressure valves and high pressure valves?

The low pressure in our factory is below 1.6Mpa, medium pressure is 2.5-6.4MPa, high pressure is 10-80MPa.Where's qusetion:1.6-2.5Mpa??? Which section does it belong to?. I think many of them are defined on the Internet But I didn't say, where's 6.4-10Mpa?

Answer:

No 1.6-2.5Mpa levels are included in the range of the mid pressure valve.
Low high is just a general statement, such as the height, there is no clear distinction between what theNow the pressure piping fittings design is specific to the pressure value, not to say that the place to install a medium pressure valve.The pressure piping is generally classified according to the pressure, and the valve can be distinguished by this.Of course, you say 2 of the medium pressure valve is also OK, belong to the low-pressure valve, no one was investigatedBy pressure:1 、 low pressure pipeline engineering pressure less than 1.6MPa;2 、 medium pressure pipeline engineering pressure 1.6-6.4MPa;3 、 high pressure pipeline engineering pressure 6.4-10MPa;4 、 super high pressure pipeline engineering pressure 10-20MPa.
According to the GB standard test pressure GB/T13927, "industrial valve pressure test" valve in accordance with the pressure can generally be divided into the following categories:(1) vacuum valve: refers to the working pressure is lower than the standard atmospheric pressure valve.(2): refers to the low pressure valve nominal pressure PN valve is less than 1.6Mpa.(3) medium pressure valve: refers to the nominal pressure of 2.5Mpa, PN, 4.0Mpa, 6.4Mpa valve.(4) high pressure valve: refers to the pressure valve PN 10.0Mpa 80.0Mpa valve.(5) super high pressure valve: nominal pressure PN = 100.0Mpa valve.Normally the stresses are actually pressure (force per unit area). Is generally used to gauge our living environment under 1 standard atmospheric pressure as reference 0 (reference point 0), and the difference between the value of the gauge (pressure gauge usually display is the gauge). But in fact we live in 1 atmospheric environment, coupled with the income of the 1 gauge pressure value is the absolute value of pressure.Standard atmospheric pressure actually has standard engineering atmospheric pressure at (kgf/cm2) and standard physics atmospheric pressure ATM, the former used in the early years, and now generally use the latter. 1atm=1.0332at=1.01325bar (bar) =101.325kPa=0.101325MPa.The valve pressure mainly focus on two parameters: rated working pressure, such as PN16, said the rated working pressure is 16bar (1.6MPa); the maximum permissible pressure difference (this value, the greater the actuator thrust torque required with the larger).
In fact, this is only the valve industry sector argument, not necessarily to distinguish between very clear.As long as the customer pressure requirements, we give him the drawings on it.Valve flange thickness and valve thickness are not standardized, according to pressure requirements.The flange thickness of 6.4Mpa and 10Mpa is completely different from that of valve body.For example: general gate valve, the most basic pressure 1.6MPa, according to GB/T139272008 and JB/T90921999 standard castingGenerally selected 1.6MPa, when the highest pressure pressure is 1.6X1.5=2.4MPa, if you exceed this pipeline pressure is not, there are now many manufacturers in order to save costs, the valve wall is thin, a conventional valve pressure 1.6MPa is a bit difficult.My own boundaryVacuum negative pressure 0.05Mpa-0.5Mpa0.6Mpa-1.6Mpa belongs to normal pressure (low pressure)2.5Mpa-4.0Mpa belongs to medium pressure6.4Mpa-10Mpa-16Mpa-25Mpa-32Mpa-42Mpa belongs to high pressure50Mpa-80Mpa belongs to supercritical high pressure valve
Valves are classified by pressure:Vacuum valve - valve with operating pressure below standard atmospheric pressure.Low pressure valve - nominal pressure PN is less than 1.6MPa valve.Medium pressure valve - nominal pressure PN 2.5~6.4MPa valve.High pressure valve - nominal pressure PN10.0~80.0MPa valve.Ultra high pressure valve - nominal pressure PN greater than 100MPa valve.Pressure values are the only indicators that distinguish these valves.
