1.Leakage of stuffing
Causes:
1. Incorrect
choice of stuffing: does not resist corrosion of medium,
high pressure or vacuum of valve, high or low
temperature;
2. Incorrect installation of stuffing:
use small accessories instead of big ones, bad spiral
contact, upper tight & lower loose;
3.
stuffing is beyond the lifetime so it is aged and loses
elasticity;
4. The valve stem is not enough in
precision and has defects of bending, corrosion or
abrasion;
5. The stuffing rings are not enough and
the press cover is not tight enough;
6. The press
cover, bolt or other parts is damaged so that the cover
can not be pressed tight;
7. Improper
operation;
8. Oblique press cover, or the space
between the press cover and the valve stem is too small
or too large so that the valve stem is worn and the
stuffing is damaged.
Prevention and solution:
1.
Choose the material and type of stuffing according to
the working condition;
2. Install stuffing
correctly, and the packing set should be put and pressed
ring by ring with 30℃ or 45℃ connector;
3.
Long-used, aged or damaged stuffing should be replaced
in time;
4. Bended or worn valve stem should be
corrected and repaired. The seriously damaged should be
replaced in time;
5. stuffing should be installed
as the set rings and the cover should be pressed evenly
with above 5mm space between;
6. Damaged press
cover, bolt and other parts should be repaired or
replaced in time;
7. All parts, except for impact
type hand wheel, should be operated at normal
speed;
8. The press cover bolt should be tightened
equally. If the space between the press cover and the
valve stem is too narrow, it should be enlarged
properly.
2. Leakage of seal
face
Causes:
1. The seal face is not ground even
so that the seal line can not be formed;
2. The
connection of the valve stem and the close parts is
suspended, skew or worn;
3.The valve stem is bended
or incorrectly assembled so that the close parts is
skew;
4. Incorrect choice of seal face material or
improper choice of valve according to the working
condition.
Prevention and solution:
1. Choose
correctly the material and type of cushion according to
the working condition;
2. Adjust it carefully and
operate it stably;
3.Tighten the bolt evenly and
equally and use spanner if necessary. There should be
certain space between the flange and the screw
thread;
4. The cushion should be fixed just in the
center without lap joint and double cushions;
5. If
the static seal face is corroded, damaged or not
processed well, it should be repaired, ground and taken
up coloration check;
6. The cushion should be clean
and not contact the ground. The seal face should be
kerosene.
3. Leakage of seal ring
connection
Causes:
1. The seal ring is not
rolled closely;
2. The seal ring is not welded well
with the body;
3. The screw thread, bolt and press
ring connecting the seal ring are loose;
4. The
seal ring connection is corroded.
Prevention and
solution:
1. For leakage of seal rolling, use
adhesive and reroll;
2. The seal ring should be
rewelded according to the soldering code;
3.
Unpack the bolt and the press ring to clean them and
replace damaged parts. For seriously corroded parts,
repair it by welding and gluing;
4. If the seal
ring connection face is corroded, repair it by grinding
and gluing. If it can not be repaired, replace the seal
ring.
4. Leakage due to falling off of close
parts
Causes
1. Incorrect operation makes the
close parts jammed and the connection broken;
2.
Close parts are not firm in connection and easy to fall
off;
3. Choose incorrectly the connection parts
material so that it can not resist the medium and
mechanical corrosion.
Prevention and
solution:
1. Operate it correctly: do not close the
valve with large strength; the valve should not be
opened beyond the jammed point; the hand wheel should be
reversed a little after the valve is completely
open;
2. Connection of the close parts and the
valve stem should be firm;
3. Fasteners connecting
the close parts and the valve stem should bear medium
corrosion and have certain mechanical intensity and
wearable performance.
5. Leakage of valve body
and cover
Causes
1. Bad cast iron quality causes
sand holes, loose tissue, slag inclusion, etc;
2.
Crack in bad weather;
3. Bad welding causes slag
inclusion, crackle, etc;
4. Cast iron valve is
damaged after impact of heavy goods.
Prevention and
solution:
1. Improve casting quality and carry out
intensity test before installation strictly as
stipulated;
2. Preserve heat of 0° and 0° below
valves, and eliminate water in unused valves;
3.
Line welding of valve body and cover should be processed
according to related operation regulation. And flaw and
intensity test is needed after welding;
4. Do not
put heavy things on the valve. Do not bump the cast iron
and nonmetal valve by hand. Use bracket when fixing
large-caliber valve.
6. Common malfunction and solution
Malfunction |
Cause |
solution |
seal leakage |
(1) Clipped by foreign
body.
(2) The valve seat is aged and
damaged.
(3) The butterfly board valve seat is
not closed. |
(1)Get rid of foreign body.
(2)
Replace the valve seat.
(3) Adjust the
executing and driving devices. |
Leakage of connection with pipeline
flange |
(1)The nut is not tightened
evenly.
(2)The flange seal face is
damaged.
(3)The cushion is damaged. |
(1)Tighten uneven
nuts.
