Type and Code of valves

In order to certify, classify and distinguish the various components and their functions, industrial valves are divided into the following groups and subgroups. 
 

Valve Models

Industrial valves date back to the invention period of steam engines but in recent decades, due to oil, chemical, electrical, metallurgical, nautical, nuclear and aerospace requirements, higher quality and safety requirements have been imposed.
The most important parameters of the valve are: its working temperature (ultra-low -269 ℃ and high from 1200 ℃ up to 3430 ℃), the operating pressure (from ultra-vacuum 1.33 × 10-8Pa up to ultra-high 1460MPa) and the dimensions of the diameter (from 1 mm to 6000 mm, even reaching 9750 mm). The valve materials, on the other hand, are the result of the fusion of steel, carbon alloys and titanium. Many steel valves are even resistant to corrosion, low temperatures and sources of great heat.
The way the valve is operated varies according to its use in the electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic industry, also taking into account program control, digital air, remote control and all other work elements. The valve processing technology also varies according to the assembly lines, whether these are automatic or
ordinary. 
Valve type and valve code

 

1. Classification of the functions and use of valves

(1) Globe valve

The Globe valve is also called a closed-circuit valve. Its function is to connect or cut off the medium in the pipeline. Globe valves include gate valves, plug valves, ball valves, butterfly valves and diaphragms.

(2) Check valve

The check valve is also called a one-way valve. Its function is to prevent the backflow of the medium in the pipeline. The bottom valve of the water pump also belongs to the check valve category.

(3) Safety valve

The function of the safety valve is to prevent the medium pressure in the pipeline. It helps from exceeding the specified value to achieve the purpose of safety protection.

(4)Regulating valve

Regulating valves include throttle valve and pressure reducing valve. Its function is to adjust the pressure, flow and other parameters of the medium.

(5) Diverter valve

Diverter valves include various distribution valves and traps. Its function is to distribute, separate or mix the medium in the pipeline.

2. Classification by rated pressure of valves

• Vacuum
The operating pressure is lower than the standard atmospheric pressure.
• Low pressure
The nominal pressure is PN ≤1.6Mpa.
• Medium pressure
The nominal pressure is PN = 2.5, 4.0, 6.4Mpa.
• High pressure
The PN pressure is 10 ~ 80Mpa.
• Very high pressure
They reach pressures of PN ≥100Mpa.

3. Vavole and operating temperature

• Very low
They are used for medium operating temperatures t <-100 ℃.
• Low
Used with average operating temperatures of -100 ℃ ≤t≤-40 ℃.
Normal
Withstand average operating temperatures of -40 ℃ ≤t≤120 ℃.
• Medium
Used for average operating temperatures 120 ℃
• High
They can be used with average operating temperatures t> 450 ℃.

4. Classification of valves according to the driving method

• Automatic

Refers to a valve that does not require external force to operate. It relies on the energy of the
medium itself to make the valve act. includes safety valve, pressure reducer, steam trap, check
valve, automatic adjustment valve, etc.
• Motorized
The motorized valve can be operated from various power sources.
• Electric
This is a valve that works thanks to electricity.
• PneumaticsIt is a valve operated by compressed air.
• Hydraulics
It starts working thanks to hydraulic pressure like oil.
• Mix
In addition, there are different combinations of the above driving methods, such as a gas-electric

valve and so on. 

Manual valve

The manual valve uses handwheel, handle, lever and pinion to control the action of the valve by manpower.
As the valve opens and closes, the torque increases and the worm gear or worm gearbox can be placed
between the handwheel and the valve stem. The universal joint and drive shaft can also be used for remote
operations.
In industrial and civil engineering there are 11 main categories of valves:
3. plug-in valve
5. throttle
6. diaphragmatic valve
8. throttle
9. safety valve
10. pressure reducing valve
11. condensate drain
• Other specialty valves (include valves for instruments, hydraulic control piping systems, and for
various machine bodies and chemical equipment).

5. Taxonomy based on the nominal diameter of the valve

• Small diameter:
This is a valve with a nominal diameter DN≤40mm.
• Medium diameter:
The nominal diameter is DN 50 to 300 mm.
• Large diameter:
The nominal diameter varies in the DN range from 350 to 1200 mm.
• Extra large diameter:
The nominal diameter reaches DN ≥ 1400 mm.
Valve type and valve code

6. Organization of the structural characteristics of the valves

• Globe shape
The opening and closing valve parts are driven by the valve stem and this helps in moving up and
down the centerline of the valve seat.
• Plug shape
The opening and closing member is driven by the valve stem in order to helps in moving up and
down the center line perpendicular to the valve seat.
• Plug valve
Opening and closing parts rotate around its own centerline.
• Swing valve
The opening and closing valve rotates around the axis outside the seat.• Butterfly travel
The opening and closing disc rotates around the fixed axis in the valve seat.
Slide valve row

The opening and closing parts slide in the direction perpendicular to the channel.

7. Methods of connecting the valves

• Threaded connection
The valve body has internal or external thread and is connected with the pipe thread.
• Flanged connection
The valve body has a flange which is connected to the pipe.
• Solder connection
The valve body has a weld groove and is welded to the pipeline.
• Clamp connection
The valve body has a locking port and is connected with the hose clamp.
• Ring nut connection
Use the bezel to connect with the pipeline.
• Wafer connection

It is a form of connection where the valve and the two pipes are directly fastened together with bolts.

8. Variety of valve body materials

The body of these valves, and other parts of them, are made of metallic material.
The most commonly used metal materials are:
჻ Cast iron
჻ Carbon steel
჻ Steel alloy
჻ Copper alloy

Z641H气动闸阀

Z641H Pneumatic Gate Valve - Oil Industry Best

Compared with the single-cylinder pneumatic gate valve, the lifting force of the valve is doubled due to the double-layer cylinder structure. This fundamentally solves the problem that some valve bodies of the single-cylinder pneumatic gate valve are wedged and cannot be opened. At the same time, the phenomenon that the gate is stuck can also be avoided.
Due to its advanced technology, reliable performance, convenient operation, switching and maintenance, it has been widely used as a pipeline opening and closing device for transporting gas and liquid media in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, and shipping.
