What Valves Are Used for Drainage Pipes?

 

1. Valve and set the choice of components

The valves used on the water supply pipeline, generally according to the following principles.

● the diameter of the pipe is not greater than 50 mm, it is appropriate to use the globe valve, pipe diameter greater than 50 mm gate valve, butterfly valve. 

● the need to adjust the flow, water pressure, it is appropriate to use the regulating valve, disconnecting valve. 

● requires a small resistance to water flow (such as pump suction pipe), it is appropriate to use the gate valve. 

● the water flow needs two-way The two-way flow of water should be the gate valvebutterfly valve, can not use the globe valve.

● the installation space of small parts should be used butterfly valve, ball valve. 

● in the often open, close the section of the pipe, it is appropriate to use the globe valve.

● the larger diameter of the water pump discharge pipe should be selected multifunctional valve.

 

2. The advantages and disadvantages of various valves

2.1. Gate valve. 

Gate valve is the closing member (gate) along the axis of the channel vertical direction of movement of the valve, in the pipeline mainly as a cut-off medium, that is, fully open or fully closed use. Generally speaking, gate valves cannot be used as a regulating flow. It can be applied to low temperature pressure and also to high temperature and pressure, and can be different according to the valve material. However, gate valves are generally not used in pipelines that convey slurry and other media.

Benefits.

 ● Small fluid resistance.

 ● Small opening and closing torque required. 

 ● can be used for media flow in both directions of the ring network pipeline, i.e., the media flow direction is not restricted. 

 ● fully open, sealing surface erosion by the working medium is smaller than the globe valve

 ● shape structure is relatively simple, manufacturing process is better.

 ● The structure length is relatively short. 

 

Disadvantages. 

● larger external dimensions and opening height, the space required for installation is also larger. 

● In the opening and closing process, the sealing surface people relative friction, friction loss is large, even at high temperatures easily caused by wear phenomenon.

● general gate valve has two sealing surfaces, adding some difficulty to processing, grinding and maintenance. 

● long opening and closing time.

 

2.2 Butterfly valve. 

Butterfly valve is a valve with a disc-type opening and closing member for about 90 ° reciprocating motion to open, close and adjust the fluid passage.

Benefits. 

● simple structure, small size, light weight, easy consumables, for large diameter valves. 

● Rapid opening and closing, low flow resistance. 

● It can be used for media containing suspended solid particles, and depending on the strength of the sealing surface, it can also be used for powder and granular media. It can be applied to bi-directional opening and closing of ventilation and dust removal pipelines, and is widely used in metallurgy, light industry, electric power, petrochemical systems, such as gas pipelines, waterways, etc. 

 

Disadvantages.

● The flow adjustment range is not large, and the flow will become more than 95% when opened to 30%.

● Because of the structure of butterfly valve and sealing material restrictions, it is not suitable for high temperature and high pressure pipeline system. The general working temperature is below 300℃ and below PN40. 

● Sealing performance is worse than ball valve and globe valve, so it is used in places where sealing requirements are not very high.
