How To Correctly Select Industrial Valves To Determine The Working Conditions And Process Requirements?
The correct selection of Sanitary Valve is the key to ensuring the safety and stability of the industrial production process. So do you know how to correctly select industrial-grade valves to determine the working conditions and process requirements?
1. Determine the working conditions
Working pressure and temperature: the working pressure and temperature range that the valve needs to withstand.
Fluid properties: including the type of fluid (gas, liquid, slurry), corrosiveness, viscosity, cleanliness, etc.
Flow and flow rate: the expected maximum flow and flow rate through the valve affect the valve size and design.
2. Understand the process requirements
Control requirements: Does the valve need to be adjusted, shutoff, check or safe release?
Degree of automation: Does it require electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, or manual operation is sufficient?
Maintenance convenience: Consider the maintainability of the valve and the convenience of replacing wearing parts.
When selecting industrial-grade valves, you need to consider a variety of factors, including working conditions, media characteristics, valve type, material, operation method, maintenance requirements and compliance.
