Question:

Butterfly valve medium flow direction of the provisions of it?

For example, the arrow above is from left to right, and the direction of my current is from right to left. Is that ok? I have a diameter of 700 of the hard seal butterfly valve is so installed, but it will leak water, it will not leak, very serious

Answer:

The direction of the arrow on the valve body is cast, refers to the flow of media, users see the arrow, the arrow direction according to the logical and installation, this installation has become a habit, it is easy to accept the installation instructions, according to the national standard is not what error. But in the eccentric butterfly valve is installed so that sometimes there will be some problems, said the following example: according to the flow of eccentric butterfly valve with the medium flow consistent installation, tube medium is liquid, after the valve is closed, if the original direction of medium inlet pressure, reduced or zero, the export of medium reflux reflux, if senior supply, resulting in the high pressure medium, the pressure is greater than the inlet pressure, the valve will be subjected to reverse pressure, because the hard seal butterfly valve as a one-way valve so that the use is not conducive to sealing butterfly valve, and there will be leakage.
The direction of the arrow on the valve body refers to the direction of the medium.Also known as butterfly valve, control valve has a simple structure, can be used for low pressure pipeline valve switching control is closed parts (disc or disc) is a disk, around the valve axis to achieve the opening and closing a valve, the valve can be used to control the flow of air, water, steam steam, all kinds of corrosive medium, mud, oil, metals and radioactive liquid media and other types of fluid. On the pipeline, mainly from cutting and throttling. Butterfly valve headstock is a disc shaped disc, in the valve body around its own axis of rotation, so as to achieve the purpose of opening or closing or regulation.
From the above example, it can be concluded that the arrow direction of the butterfly valve body refers to the direction of the pressure of the medium. Before the installation, the user must know the direction of the pressure of the valve after the valve is closed. The direction of the arrow of the free valve body is in accordance with the direction of the pressure of the medium, so that the correct use can be achieved, and the tightness of the valve body is kept in good condition.
