Valves in industrial pipelines are disposable items and have their own service life. Once this period has passed, they must be replaced with new ones. The following threaded valve manufacturers will tell you how to maximize the service life of the valve.
Valve selection:
Getting the best performance level of the valve is the first step in ensuring the life of the valve, so make sure to choose the right valve and use it in the right place. In many cases, the main reason for valve leakage and failure is the wrong valve design or the wrong material of construction. Therefore, when selecting a valve, you must be clear about the parameters of the pipelined medium, use temperature, pressure, etc., and select the correct and appropriate valve according to the parameters.
Valve installation:
After purchasing a suitable valve, pay special attention to the installation. On-site technicians may cause further damage to the valve when removing the valve end cover. When the end cover is removed, dust and foreign matter will be deposited in the valve, which may cause Damage to the ball and valve seat, and cause leakage once installed. So do not open the end cap without special reason. Incorrect hoisting of pneumatic valves or electric valves will damage the actuators and valves. When transporting the valve on site, there is a lifting ring on the valve. Do not lift the valve or actuator through the valve stem. Therefore, during the installation phase, the most important step is to purge the pipeline before it is pressurized.
Valve maintenance:
After the valve is installed, frequent maintenance is required to prevent the valve and drive equipment from malfunctioning. Every month, the valve in operation should be moisturized to optimize the performance of the valve.
