In the procurement of industrial valves, it is crucial to ensure the quality and performance of valves. The API 598 standard provides clear guidance for the inspection and testing of valves, helping purchasers make informed decisions when choosing TRUNNION BALL VALVES, GATE VALVES and BUTTERFLY VALVES. This article will compare in detail the API 598 testing costs and acceptance procedures of these three types of valves to help you better understand and choose suitable valve products.
API Standards for Butterfly ValvesAPI 609: Butterfly Valves• Design and Performance: API 609 is a widely recognized standard for butterfly valves, specifying detailed requirements for design, materials, dimensions, and testing. These valves are known for their simple design, lightweight, and quick o
In numerous fields such as industrial pipeline systems, the intelligent bronze butterfly valves of the J-VALVES brand play a vital role. With the continuous development of technology, there have been different choices for their driving methods. Among them, the electric actuator and the manual worm gear drive are two relatively common schemes. Understanding their respective characteristics and the comparison between them helps users make more appropriate choices according to actual needs. Now, let's conduct a detailed comparative analysis of these two driving schemes.
1. The basic parameters and product features of J-VALVES bronze butterfly valves are as follows:
Basic Parameters:
· Size Range: 2'' - 36'' (DN50 - DN900).
· Pressure Ratings: 150LB - 300LB / PN16 ~ PN40 / 10K ~ 20K.
· Materials: Including 316 CF8M/CF8/CF3M/CF3, A216 WCB, cast iron, cast steel, A352 LCB/LCC/Ti, etc.
· Temperature Range: -29ºC to 220ºC.
· Applicable Media: Water, steam, oil, natural gas, etc.
I. ASTM B62 StandardASTM B62 is a standard formulated by the American Society for Testing and Materials, specifically for the specification requirements of bronze castings. For J-VALVES bronze butterfly valves, this standard provides detailed guidelines in multiple aspects. In terms of material, it
In many high-temperature and high-pressure scenarios in industrial production, the choice of butterfly valves is quite an important matter. Today, let's make a good comparison between bronze butterfly valves and stainless steel butterfly valves to see what the differences are in terms of material performance and standard adaptability.
Understanding Double Eccentric Butterfly ValvesDesign and StructureDouble eccentric butterfly valves are characterized by their unique design, which includes two offset features:1. First Eccentricity: The valve stem is offset from the center of the valve body, allowing the disc to lift away from the
Understanding Corrosion ResistanceWhat is Corrosion Resistance?Corrosion resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand chemical attack and degradation over time. In industrial settings, butterfly valves are often exposed to corrosive fluids, high temperatures, and fluctuating pressures, mak
Understanding Butterfly Valve SealsWhat are Soft Seals?Soft seals in butterfly valves are typically made from elastomeric materials such as EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). These materials provide excellent sealing properties
