Introduction to Resilient Butterfly Valves
Resilient butterfly valves are used extensively in various industries for fluid control applications due to their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. The design includes a disc mounted on a rotating shaft, with a resilient seat providing a dependable sealing solution.
Function of a Resilient Butterfly Valve Seat
The seat of a resilient butterfly valve serves as the principal element that enables effective sealing. Its resilience provides compliance with the disc, ensuring it achieves full closure and prevents leakage effectively. The primary function includes:
- Sealing: Ensures zero leakage by applying uniform pressure on the disc.
- Flexibility: Adapts to pressure changes and material deformations over time.
- Durability: Withstands chemical and temperature variations, increasing valve longevity.
Parameters and Numerical Analysis
The performance of a resilient butterfly valve seat is determined by various parameters, including:
- Material Hardness: Typically ranges from 50 to 80 Shore A, balancing sealing efficiency and wear resistance.
- Operating Temperature: Suitability ranges from -20°C to 120°C, accommodating a wide range of applications.
- Pressure Ratings: Standard pressure ranges from 10 psi to 200 psi, indicating robustness under operational stress.
Numerical analysis models demonstrate that seat deformation under rated pressure conditions remains minimal, with typical displacement values staying below 0.01 mm. This analysis ensures that the seat maintains its integrity across various scenarios.
