How to extend the service life of Sanitary Ball Valve?

High platform ball valve and flange gate valve are valves of the same type. The difference is that its closing piece is a sphere, which rotates around the center line of the valve body to open and close. Ball valves are mainly used in pipelines to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium. Two-piece ball valves and three-piece ball valves are a new type of valve that has been widely used in recent years.

We should know that no matter how good the quality of the product equipment is, if it cannot be used and maintained in the correct way and is not maintained and repaired, then the equipment will hardly have a longer service life and working effect. The same is true for high platform ball valves. We must maintain the habit of frequent maintenance, cleaning and maintenance during the use of high platform ball valves. I hope everyone uses the equipment safely.

Methods to extend the service life of high platform ball valves:

1. Pay attention to the storage environment of the ball valve. It should be stored in a dry and ventilated room, and both ends of the passage should be blocked.

2. The ball valve should be checked regularly, and the dirt on it should be removed, and anti-rust oil should be applied on its surface.

3. After the ball valve is installed and applied, it should be regularly inspected to ensure its normal operation.
4. Check whether the sealing surface of the ball valve is worn, and repair or replace it according to the situation.

5. Check the wear of the trapezoidal threads of the valve stem and the valve stem nut, whether the packing is outdated and invalid, etc., and make necessary replacements.

6. The sealing performance of the ball valve should be tested to ensure its performance.

7. The ball valve in operation should be intact, the bolts on the flange and the bracket are complete, the threads are intact, and there is no looseness.

8. If the handwheel is lost, it should be replaced in time, and it cannot be replaced with an adjustable wrench.

9. The packing gland is not allowed to be skewed or have no pre-tightening clearance.

10. If the ball valve is used in a harsh environment and is easily contaminated by rain, snow, dust, wind and sand, etc., a protective cover should be installed for the valve stem.

11. The scale on the ball valve should be kept intact, accurate and clear, and the lead seal and cap of the ball valve.

12. The insulation jacket should be free of dents and cracks.

13. Avoid hitting the ball valve in operation or supporting heavy objects.
