3-way Flanged Ball Valve Mandatory Environmental Impact Factors

The 3 Way Flanged Ball Valve also has certain requirements for the operating environment. This is because, in addition to paying attention to pipeline parameters, special attention should be paid to the operating environment conditions. Since the electric actuator in the electric flanged ball valve is an electromechanical device, its operating status is significantly affected by the operating environment. What are the operating environments of electric flanged ball valves? The following is a detailed description.

Under normal circumstances, electric fluorine-lined ball valves are subject to the following types of operating environments:

1) Indoor installation or outdoor use with protective measures;

2) Outdoor installation exposed to wind, sand, rain, dew, and sunlight;

3) Environments with flammable or explosive gases or dust;

4) Environments in humid and dry tropical regions;

5) Pipeline media temperatures exceeding 150°C;

6) Ambient temperatures below -20°C;

7) Environments susceptible to flooding or immersion;

8) Environments with radioactive materials (nuclear power plants and radioactive material testing facilities);

9) Onboard ships or docks (exposed to salt spray, mold, and humidity);

10) Environments subject to severe vibration; Environments prone to fire.

The above describes the typical operating environments for electric fluorine-lined ball valves. These operating environments must be clearly understood and adequate protection measures must be taken to prevent their impact on the electric fluorine-lined ball valves.
