How to prolong the service life of PTFE valve?

In corrosion resistant materials, polytetrafluoroethylene has incomparable excellent performance, in addition to excellent chemical stability, its anti-fouling, anti-adhesion, dynamic and static friction coefficient is very small, good wear resistance, as the sealing pair of the valve opening and closing, the friction between the sealing surfaces should be reduced, the operating Torque of the valve should be reduced, and the service life of the product should be increased.

In COVNA, we offer electric fluorine ball valves, electric fluorine butterfly valves and PTFE solenoid valves for your options.

Fluorine-lined valve is also called anti-corrosion Valve, its working condition is often bad, it is not toxic and harmful chemical substances, it is very corrosive all kinds of acid-base or organic solution economy, improper use will produce significant economic losses and serious consequences.

Suitable medium: Various concentrations of acid, alkali, salt and some organic solvents.

Features: is currently the world’s most ideal anti-corrosion materials, has been widely used in rotary molding of large-scale equipment and pipe liner.

Proper use and maintenance of the valve can extend the service life of fluorine-lined Valve, so what can be done to effectively protect it?

1. Before using, carefully read the fluorine-lined valve operation manual.

2.According to the nameplate or the specification on the pressure, temperature, use within the scope of the medium.

3. When in use, in order to prevent the fluorine-lined valve from producing excessive pipeline stress because of the temperature change, the temperature change should be minimized, and the u-shaped expansion joint should be added before and after the valve.

4.Prohibit the use of lever to open and close the fluorine-lined Valve, pay attention to observe the fluorine-lined valve open and close the indicated position and limit device, open and close in place, do not force closed again, avoid fluorine plastic sealing surface damage too early.

5.For some media unstable and easy to decompose (such as the decomposition of some media will cause volume expansion, resulting in abnormal increase in operating pressure) will cause valve damage or leakage of media, measures should be taken to eliminate or limit the factors causing the decomposition of unstable media. When selecting the valve, we should consider the change of working condition which may be caused by unstable medium and choose the fluorine-lined valve with automatic pressure relief device.

6.For toxic, flammable, explosive, highly corrosive medium pipeline lining fluorine valve, strictly prohibited in the pressure state to replace the packing. Although fluorine-lined valves are designed with an upper seal function, packing replacement under pressure is not recommended.

7. For pipes with self-ignition medium, measures should be taken to ensure that the ambient temperature and operating temperature should not exceed the self-ignition point of the medium to prevent the danger caused by sunlight exposure or external fire.

At the meanwhile, COVNA could provide the PTFE solenoid valve for your project. Check it out!
