Ball valve is a kind of general-purpose valve widely used in valves. It is used in large quantities and consumed quickly. Therefore, reasonable maintenance is very necessary. Shanghai Guanhuan Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd. believes that. Reasonable maintenance can not only improve work efficiency, but also reduce maintenance time and save replacement costs. Our factory will tell you about the repair and maintenance knowledge of ball valves for the multi-faceted use of ball valves.

1. Before use, the pipe and the flow-through part of the valve body should be cleaned with water to prevent residual iron filings and other debris from entering the inner cavity of the valve body.

2. When the ball valve is in the closed state, if there is still some medium inside the valve body, it will also bear a certain pressure. Before overhauling the ball valve, first close the shut-off valve in front of the ball valve, and then open the part of the ball valve that needs to be overhauled, so as to completely release the internal pressure of the valve body. If you are overhauling electric ball valves or pneumatic ball valves, you should first disconnect the power and air sources.

3. Generally, soft-sealed ball valves use tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the sealing material, and the sealing surface of hard-sealed ball valves is made of metal surfacing. If it is necessary to clean the pipeline ball valve, be careful not to damage the sealing ring and leak during disassembly.

4. When disassembling the flanged cast steel ball valve, the bolts and nuts on the flange should be tightened first, then all the nuts should be slightly tightened, and finally firmly fixed. If the individual nuts are forcibly fastened first, and then other nuts are fastened, the gasket surface will be damaged or broken due to uneven bearing between the flange faces, resulting in medium leakage from the butt joint of the valve flange.

5. If the valve is cleaned, the solvent used must not conflict with the parts to be cleaned and not corrode. If it is a special ball valve for gas, it can be cleaned with gasoline. Other parts can generally be washed with reclaimed water. When cleaning, thoroughly clean the residual dust, oil and other attachments. If it cannot be cleaned with clean water, it can be cleaned with alcohol and other cleaning agents in a targeted manner without damaging the valve body and parts. . After cleaning, wait for the cleaning agent to completely evaporate before installing.

6. If a small leak is found at the packing during use, the stem nut can be tightened slightly until the leak is stopped, and the tightening cannot be continued.

7. Long-term open-air storage will cause the valve body and parts to corrode and cannot be used normally. When the ball valve is stored, it should be protected from rain, water and moisture, and the flange cover should be tightly closed. Valves stored for more than 12 months should be retested when in use to ensure stable performance.
