The application difference between flange and wafer butterfly valve



Butterfly valves are not only widely used in petroleum, gas, chemical and water treatment, but also in the circulating water system of power plants.Wafer and flange are two types of connecting.Flange butterfly valve body has flange on both ends, connected to pipe flange.
There are no flanges on both ends of the butterfly valve body, only guide bolt holes, and the valve is connected to the flange of the pipe end with a set of bolts/nuts.
It's cheap and light for wafer butterfly valve.
The bolt length of wafer butterfly valve is longer, and the installation precision is higher than flange butterfly. If the flange of pipe is not correct on both sides, the bolt will be subjected to greater shear load, and the valve will leak easily.
In contrast, the disassembly of the wafer butterfly valve is convenient, the valve cost is low, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface problem, two sealing surface must be opened.

The sealing of Flange butterfly valve is relatively more reliable, but the valve cost is relatively higher.And the wafer butterfly valve usually cannot be used in the end of the line , because when the end flange is removed, the wafer valves will drop down.....

Application of ceramic lined ball valves in flue gas desulfurization

图片
http://www.free-valve.com 1.General Flue gas desulfurization is the main action to control the discharge of SO2 in the coal power plant . There are several desulfurization process in the international market , that is wet desulfurization ,dry desulfurization ,semi dry desulfurization and ammonia process of desulfurization. The limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization process is the most popular for high efficiency ,large capacity ,good compatibility ,reliability . Beside that , limestone work as absorber ,have a low cost and a wide availability characteristic ,its by product gypsum can be recycled after water removing . At present , the limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization process is the main process among desulfurization in the coal –fired power plant . FGD ( Flue gas desulfurization ) is a process which absorb SO2 as well as other contaminative gas by lime stone slurry in the power plant , by the same time it can produce the lime gypsum slurry by pr

The application of Pneumatic Ceramic Lined Double Gate Valve

图片
Particularly offered for solid-gas medium,the pneumatic ceramic double disc gate valve takes engineering ceramic as the main material for flow controlling.It is widely installed in air ash transporting system for coal power plant . Features 1.The sealing surface of the valve is made of toughened ceramics with abrasion resistance and long service life. 2.Two-side sealing can realized due to double plate structure of the pneumatic ceramic double disc gate valve. 3.In the process of opening and closing ,the valve plate can rotate automatically ,which leads to the grinding and polishing between the two sealing surface of the ceramic double plate gate valve. 4.There is a residue outlet designed for ceramic double disc gate valve,being used to conduct dust blowing periodically . Technical Parameters Size  : 2”~12”   DN50~DN350 Pressure:  Class 150   or PN1.0-PN1.6MPa Body material : WCB. Sealing Material :Toughened engineering ceramic Connection Type :Flange type Drive met
