Reasons for leakage of valve body and bonnet: 1. The casting quality of cast iron parts is not high, and there are defects such as blisters, loose tissue, slag inclusions on the valve body and bonnet body; 2. Freezing cracking; 3. Poor welding and clamping Defects such as slag, unwelded, stress cracks, etc.; 4. The cast iron valve is damaged after being hit by a heavy object.

Maintenance method:

1. Improve the casting quality, and carry out the strength test in strict accordance with the regulations before installation;

2. For valves whose temperature is between 0℃ and below 0℃, they should be kept warm or mixed with heat. Valves that are out of service should be drained of stagnant water;

3. The welding seam of the valve body and bonnet composed of welding should be carried out in accordance with the relevant welding operation regulations, and the flaw detection and strength test should be carried out after welding;

4. It is forbidden to push or put heavy objects on the valve, and it is not allowed to hit cast iron and non-metal valves with a hand hammer. The installation of large-diameter valves should be provided with a bracket.

Leakage at the packing

The leakage of the valve is the largest proportion of the packing.

the reason:

1. Wrong selection of packing, not resistant to medium corrosion, not resistant to valve high pressure or vacuum, high temperature or low temperature use;

2. The packing is not installed correctly, there are defects such as replacing the big with small, bad spiral joint, tightening and loosening;

3. The filler has exceeded the service life, has been aging, and has lost its elasticity;

4. The valve stem is not high in precision and has defects such as bending, corrosion, and wear;

5. The number of packing circles is insufficient and the gland is not tightly pressed;

6. The gland, bolts, and other parts are damaged, making it impossible to compress the gland;

7. Improper operation, excessive force, etc.;

8. The gland is skewed, and the gap between the gland and the valve stem is too small or too large, causing the valve stem to wear and the packing to damage.

Maintenance method:

1. The material and type of filler should be selected according to the working conditions;

2. Install the packing correctly according to the relevant regulations, the packing should be placed and compressed one by one, and the joint should be 30℃ or 45℃;

3. Fillers that have a long service life, are aging, or damaged should be replaced in time;

4. After the valve stem is bent or worn, it should be straightened and repaired. If it is seriously damaged, it should be replaced in time;

5. The packing should be installed according to the specified number of turns, the gland should be tightened symmetrically and evenly, and the compression sleeve should have a pre-tightening gap of more than 5mm;

6. Damaged glands, bolts and other parts should be repaired or replaced in time;

7. The operating procedures should be followed, except for the impact handwheel, operate at a constant speed and normal force;

8. The gland bolts should be tightened evenly and symmetrically. If the gap between the gland and the valve stem is too small, the gap should be appropriately increased; the gap between the gland and the valve stem should be too large and should be replaced.

Leakage of sealing surface

the reason:

1. The sealing surface is unevenly ground and cannot form a tight line;

2. The top center of the connection between the valve stem and the closing part is suspended, incorrect or worn;

3. The valve stem is bent or incorrectly assembled, which makes the closing part skewed or misaligned;

4. Improper selection of the quality of the sealing surface material or failure to select the valve according to the working conditions.

Maintenance method:

1. Correctly select the material and type of the gasket according to the working conditions;

2. Carefully adjust and operate smoothly;

3. The bolts should be tightened evenly and symmetrically, and a torque wrench should be used when necessary. The pre-tightening force should meet the requirements and should not be too large or small. There should be a certain pre-tightening gap between the flange and the threaded connection;

4. The gasket assembly should be aligned at the center, and the force should be even. The gasket is not allowed to overlap or use double gaskets;

5. The static sealing surface is corroded, damaged, and the processing quality is not high. Repair, grinding, and color inspection should be carried out to make the static sealing surface meet the relevant requirements;

6. Pay attention to cleaning when installing the gasket. The sealing surface should be cleaned with kerosene and the gasket should not fall to the ground.

Leakage at the joint of the sealing ring

the reason:

1. The sealing ring is not tightly rolled;

2. The sealing ring is welded to the body, and the surfacing quality is poor;

3. The sealing ring connection thread, screw and pressure ring are loose;

4. The sealing ring is connected and corroded.

Maintenance method:

1. The leak in the sealed rolling area should be injected with adhesive and then rolled and fixed;

2. The sealing ring should be repaired according to the welding specification. When the surfacing welding cannot be repaired, the original surfacing and processing should be removed;

3. Remove the screws and pressure ring to clean, replace the damaged parts, grind the sealing surface of the seal and the connecting seat, and reassemble. For parts with large corrosion damage, welding, bonding and other methods can be used to repair;

4. The connecting surface of the sealing ring is corroded, it can be repaired by grinding, bonding and other methods. If it cannot be repaired, the sealing ring should be replaced.

The closure piece falls off and leaks

the reason:

1. Poor operation makes the closing part stuck or exceeds the top dead center, and the connection is damaged and broken;

2. The closing part is not firmly connected, loosened and falls off;

3. The material of the connecting parts is wrong, which can not withstand the corrosion of the medium and mechanical abrasion.

Maintenance method:

1. Operate correctly, do not use excessive force to close the valve, and open the valve not to exceed the top dead center. After the valve is f
