Question:

Principle of forced sealing ball valve

What is the principle of forced sealing ball valve? How to achieve mandatory sealing function? Is it suitable for high pressure conditions?

Answer:

With spring to achieve forced sealing, not applicable to high pressure
Structural characteristicsForced sealing ball valve combines the advantages of ball valve, gate valve and plug valve. It has the characteristics of good tightness, no wear and tear, erosion resistance, and on-line maintenance.(1) the bevel of the lower end of the forced seal lift stem provides a mechanical wedge tightening force to ensure continuous tight seal.(2) switch no wear, valve switching process, the ball deviates from the valve seat and then rotating, eliminating the friction of the valve seat, to solve the ordinary ball valve, gate valve and plug valve seat wear.(3) the anti erosion lifting stem realizes the rotation of the ball from the valve seat, and the ball and the valve seat perform the switching action without contact. When the valve is open and about to be closed, the fluid flows immediately along the sealing surface in the range of 360 degrees. When the fluid begins to flow, it can flush the impurities on the valve seat. To avoid the high speed fluid in common ball valve opening and closing the micro moments of local scour on the seat, even the harsh conditions of high pressure, can still ensure long-term zero leakage and tight sealing, improve the service life of the forced sealing ball valve.(4) no case single seat design avoids the valve cavity pressure increases and easy to jam problem.(5) good sealing performance, the ball and valve seat sealing surface after special hardening treatment, can not damage the integrity of the seal to meet the very harsh conditions of sealing requirements.(6) easy maintenance valve adopts top mounted structure. After decompression, it can be checked and maintained online, and the maintenance is simplified.
