Diaphragm valve installation, maintenance and troubleshooting

Source: Internet Release Date: 2012/3/5

Diaphragm valveIt is a special form of shut-off valve. Compared with other valves, it has the following characteristics:

1.The elastically sealed opening and closing parts ensure that there is no internal leakage;
2.Streamlined flow channel makes pressure loss small;
3.There is no packing, so there is no leakage;
4.The valve body and the cover are separated by the middle diaphragm, so that the valve cover above the diaphragm,Parts such as rods are not corroded by the medium;
5.The diaphragm can be replaced and the maintenance cost is low;
6.The variety of lining materials can be applied to various media and has good corrosion resistance. 

Diaphragm valveInstallation and maintenance

1.Before installation, carefully check whether the operating conditions of the pipeline are consistent with the scope of application specified by this valve, and clean the inner cavity to prevent dirt from jamming or damaging the sealing parts.
2.Do not paint grease or oil on the surface of the rubber lining laminated rubber diaphragm to prevent the rubber from swelling and affectingvalveService life.
3.Do not tie clues to the handwheel or valve stem to lift the valve during installation.
4.When manually operating the valve, do not use auxiliary levers to prevent excessive torque from damaging the drive components or sealing parts.
5.Valves should be stored in a dry and ventilated room, stacking is strictly prohibited, both ends of the inventory valve must be sealed, and the opening and closing parts should be in a slightly open state.

Possible failure the reason Elimination method
Handwheel operation is not flexible 1.StemVariation
2.Thread damage
1.Replace the valve stem
2.Trim the threads and add lubricating oil
The valve cannot be opened and closed automatically when it is pneumatic 1.Air pressure is too low
2.The spring preload is too large
3.Damaged rubber diaphragm
1.Increase air supply pressure
2.Reduce spring preload
3.Replace the diaphragm
Leakage at the junction of valve body and bonnet 1.Loose connection bolts
2.Broken valve body liner
1.Tighten the connecting bolt
