Universal Valve selection principles

The Universal Valve is a Special Valve whose opening and closing parts are in a normally closed state under the action of external force. When the medium pressure in the equipment or pipeline rises above the specified value, it discharges the medium outside the system to prevent the medium pressure in the pipeline or equipment from exceeding the specified value. . Universal Valve are automatic valves that are mainly used in boilers, pressure vessels and pipelines to control pressure not to exceed specified values and play an important role in protecting personal safety and equipment operation. Note: The Universal Valve must pass the pressure test before it can be used.

300x Slow Closing Check Valve

1. For steam boiler Universal Valve, the open full-open spring Universal Valve 0490 series is generally used;
2. For Universal Valve for liquid media, micro-opening spring Universal Valve 0485 series are generally used;
3. For Universal Valve used for air or other gas media, full-open spring Universal Valve are generally used;
4. Universal Valve for LPG truck tankers or LPG railway tankers generally use full-open built-in Universal Valve;
5. For Universal Valve used at the outlet of oil production wells, pilot-operated Universal Valve are generally used; 6. For high-pressure bypass Universal Valve in steam power generation equipment, pilot-operated Universal Valve with dual functions of safety and control are generally selected.
7. If the Universal Valve is required to be opened regularly for testing, a Universal Valve with a lifting wrench should be used. When the medium pressure reaches more than 75% of the opening pressure, you can use a lifting wrench to slightly lift the valve disc from the valve seat to check the opening flexibility of the Universal Valve;
8. If the medium temperature is high, in order to reduce the temperature of the spring chamber, generally when the operating temperature of the closed Universal Valve exceeds 300°C and the operating temperature of the open Universal Valve exceeds 350°C, a Universal Valve with a radiator should be selected;
9. If the outlet back pressure of the Universal Valve changes and its variation exceeds 10% of the opening pressure, a bellows Universal Valve should be used;
10. If the medium is corrosive, a bellows Universal Valve should be used to prevent important parts from failing due to corrosion by the medium.
