Precautions for Valve Use
2025-07-08
Valves, as important fluid control devices, are widely used in various industries, households, and daily life. To ensure the normal operation of valves and extend their service life, the following precautions should be observed when using valves.
1. Understand Valve Characteristics in Advance
Before using a valve, you should understand its type, size, working pressure, temperature range, and other characteristics to ensure the selected valve meets the usage requirements.
2. Operation Precautions
When operating the valve, turn the valve stem slowly to avoid operating too quickly or forcefully, which may damage the valve sealing surface or cause leakage. At the same time, keep the valve clean to prevent debris from entering the valve interior.
3. Regular Inspection and Maintenance
During use, regularly check the sealing performance, whether the valve stem rotates smoothly, and if the valve appearance is intact. If any abnormalities are found, handle them promptly. Additionally, perform regular maintenance such as replacing seals and cleaning the valve interior.
4. Pay Attention to the Usage Environment
The environment in which the valve is used greatly affects its performance and service life. Avoid exposing the valve to high temperature, low temperature, strong corrosive environments, or excessive pressure. If used in special environments, select valves made of appropriate materials.
5. Storage and Transportation
During storage and transportation, keep the valve clean and dry to avoid moisture, rust, or damage. Valves should be stored in well-ventilated places, away from corrosive substances and flammable materials.
6. Follow Safety Regulations
When using valves, follow relevant safety regulations and operating procedures to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. For valves handling high pressure, high temperature, or toxic media, equip appropriate safety devices and protective measures.
7. Purchase Genuine Products
When purchasing valves, choose products from reputable manufacturers and ensure they have corresponding quality certifications and inspection certificates. Avoid buying inferior or counterfeit products to prevent safety hazards.
In summary, correct use and maintenance of valves are crucial to ensuring the normal operation of fluid control systems. By understanding valve characteristics, following operating procedures, performing regular inspections and maintenance, paying attention to the usage environment, and adhering to safety regulations, the service life of valves can be extended, and the safety and stability of the system improved.
