How To Extend The Service Life Of 2 Piece Threaded Ball Valve

2 Piece Threaded Ball Valve require careful maintenance during use to minimize damage and extend their lifespan. So how can you extend the lifespan of a fluorine-lined electric ball valve? This begins with routine maintenance.

1. Carefully read the fluorine-lined valve's instruction manual before use.
2. Use within the pressure, temperature, and operating medium ranges specified in the manual.
3. Prevent excessive pipe stress from temperature fluctuations in the fluorine-lined electric butterfly valve or electric ball valve during use. Minimize temperature fluctuations as much as possible and install U-shaped expansion joints before and after the valve.
4. Do not use levers to open and close fluorine-lined electric butterfly valves or electric ball valves. Observe the valve's opening and closing indicator and limiter. Once fully opened and closed, do not force the valve closed to prevent premature damage to the fluoroplastic sealing surface.
5. Some unstable and easily decomposed media (for example, decomposition of certain media can cause volume expansion, resulting in an abnormal increase in operating pressure) can cause valve damage or leakage. Measures should be taken to eliminate or limit factors that cause decomposition of unstable media. When selecting a valve, consider the potential for operating conditions changes caused by unstable and easily decomposed media, and choose a fluorine-lined valve with an automatic pressure relief device.
6. For fluorine-lined valves used in pipelines with toxic, flammable, explosive, or highly corrosive media, it is strictly forbidden to replace the packing under pressure. Although fluorine-lined valves are designed to provide a seal, replacing the packing under pressure is not recommended.
7. For pipelines with pyrophoric media, measures must be taken to ensure that the ambient and operating temperatures do not exceed the auto-ignition point of the media to prevent hazards from sunlight or external fires.

To extend the service life of your fluorine-lined electric ball valve, you can follow the precautions above to ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your fluorine-lined electric ball valve.
