Daily maintenance of check valve
Check valve, also known as one way check valve. Its main function is to prevent the backflow of the medium and protect the safe operation of the equipment and pipeline system. Water check valvesare widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, water treatment, electric power, metallurgy and other fields.
There are many kinds of check valves, according to the different structure and working principle, can be divided into lifting type, swing type, butterfly check valve, ball type and so on. Among them, the lift check valve is the most common one, which has an internal valve flap that can be lifted, and when the medium flows from the inlet to the outlet, the valve flap is topped open; When the medium flows in reverse direction, the disc is closed to prevent backflow.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the stainless check valve and extend its service life, daily maintenance is very important. Here are some daily maintenance knowledge of check valves:
1.Regular inspection
Check the appearance of the check valve regularly to see if there are cracks, deformation, corrosion and other phenomena. At the same time, check the seal of the disc and seat to ensure that there is no leakage.
2.Cleaning
Regularly clean the inside and outside of the check valve to remove dirt and impurities. When cleaning, neutral cleaning agent should be used to avoid the use of corrosive substances such as strong acid and alkali.
3.Replace the damaged parts
If the valve disc, seat and other parts of the check valve are found to be damaged or seriously worn, they should be replaced in time. Replace with the same specifications and models of the original parts to ensure that the performance of the valve is not affected.
4.Lubrication
For some check valves that need to be lubricated, an appropriate amount of lubricating oil or grease should be added regularly to keep the stem and seat well lubricated.
5.Anti-corrosion treatment
For the line check valve used in a corrosive environment, corresponding anti-corrosion measures should be taken, such as coating anti-corrosion layer and selecting corrosion resistant materials.
Through the above daily maintenance measures, you can ensure the normal operation of the check valve and extend the service life, and provide a strong guarantee for the safety of the equipment and pipeline system.
