NAFCO | Torque Test of Brass Ball Valves

NAFCO | Torque Test of Brass Ball Valves
Time:2018-08-09 From: NAFCO | Brass Valves China Manufacturer
The tests described are type tests (laboratory tests) and not quality control tests carried out during manufacture.
Tests shall be carried out in the sequence of this standard on the same brass ball valve.
All tests shall be carried out with cold water of (20 ± 5) °C.
The brass ball valve shall not be leaking or broken during the test, failing which the ball valve is not qualitified.

1.1.1 General
Hold the ball valve in a rigid fixture as shown in Figure 1.
a) All tests shall be carried out with connections to the valves (whatever their end fitting configurations) which are capable of withstanding the required torque values and bending moments (according to Table 1);
b) if the inlet and outlet connection are not on a common axis, the torque tests shall be repeated with the connections reversed;
c) ensure that the bending and torsional moments can be attained with an accuracy of 5,0 % of the specified values;
d) if the valve has different inlet and outlet connection, the larger connection shall be used for pipe 1 (see Figure 1);
e) the pipes for the testing of connections shall conform to ISO 65, medium series, and have a length of 1 m;
f) for valves with end fittings which are especially designed for use only with flexible connections, only tests on torque MT1, and bending moment MF1, are carried out.

1.2.1 Sequence of torsion and bending moment tests for valves
1.2.1.1 Torque
(See Figure 1). This test is only applicable to ball valves with internal threads on both sides. The torque shall be applied in both directions.
Applied torque for brass ball valves test
            Table 1 — Applied torque
The stress MT1 represents the installation stress.
The stress MT2 represents the stress to which the valve may be submitted during service.
The valve shall be under nominal pressure for these tests.

1.2.1.1.1 Torque MT1
a) Screw pipe 1 with a torque, not exceeding the required torque indicated in Table 8, into the valve. Clamp pipe 1 at a distance equal to or greater than 2 DN from the valve;
b) screw pipe 2 with a torque, not exceeding the required torque indicated in Table 8, into the valve. Ensure that the joint is leak-tight;
c) support pipe 2 such that no bending moment is applied to the valve;
d) apply the required torque (MT1) to pipe 2 for 10s (see Table 1);
e) the torque shall be applied progressively and smoothly without undue delay. The torque given in Table 1 shall not be exceeded;
f) with the stress removed, check the valve for external and internal leak-tightness and visually for any deformation;
g) The torque required for the preliminary cycle shall not be greater than 1,5 times for valves up to DN 15 and 2,5 times for DN 20 up to DN 100 of the values given in Table 1.

1.2.1.1.2 Torque MT2
a) Apply MT2 (see Table 8) for 900 s to the same valve as for the torsion test MT1.
b) during this time the internal and external leak-tightness and operating torque are measured.

NAFCO | Brass Gate Valve Installation

NAFCO | Brass Gate Valve Installation From: NAFCO | China Brass Valves Manufacturer 1. The installation of the gate valve must be carried out by qualified operators. The deviation of the different axial directions of the two ends of the pipeline must not be too large, otherwise excessive pipeline installation stress will be generated, resulting in failure and damage. The thread precision and effective length strictly enforce the ISO228-1 relevant standards.    When installing the screw, the hex or octagonal part of the same side of the thread should be clamped. The hexagonal or octagonal part of the other end of the valve should not be wrenched to avoid deformation of the valve. It must be made of Teflon tape or thread sealant seal.     2. To install the tightening valve, you must use the corresponding torque wrench or pipe wrench, and screw in the effective thread length. Do not excessively cause the inner end surface to be pressed, causing the s...

NAFCO | 5 Negative Changes of China Brass Valve Industry in 2017

1, Sales decline, weak growth In the era of overcapacity, plumbing valve industry oversupply, the valve industry innovation, change lag, in the growth encountered bottlenecks and ceilings, if the business no new growth point, the major brand sales decline is a common phenomenon. 2, Price war The market demand for brass valves is red uced, in order to seize the market, each brand competition bargain, businesses profit are limited. The market shuffle will be inevitable.  China brass valve manufacturers  for  brass ball valves ,  brass gate valves ,  brass check valves , brass angle valves,  brass radiator valves ,  brass fittings  will face difficult time. 3, Brass Valve Industry shuffle Brass valve brand competition will become increasingly fierce in 2018, China brass valve suppliers without core competitiveness and service will be squeezed in the market. In the case of raw material prices and cost increase, non-competitive brass valve factories w...

NAFCO | Definition and Structure of Brass Gate Valves

NAFCO | Definition and Structure of Brass Gate Valves Time:2018-08-02 From: NAFCO | China Brass Gate Valves Manufacturer Brass gate valves are one of the most commonly used plumbing valves for household application, just little smaller than brass ball valves. Brass gate valve is  metal-metal sealed valve and are currently widely used in water supply systems.    Today we're going to explain what is a brass gate valve, what's the structure of brass gate valves:     1. Definition and of Brass Gate Valves   Brass gate valves, also called brass disc valves, are valves in which the closing valve disc moves in the vertical direction along the centerline of the passage, used to turn the media on or off.   The brass gate valve is a control unit that moves the gate plate along the axis of the channel in the vertical direction and shuts off the medium flow control unit through the handwheel rotation drive. The utility model h...
