How can new sealing materials improve the sealing performance of butterfly valves?

New sealing material: "upgrade password" for butterfly valve sealing performance

As a key equipment in the field of fluid control, the sealing performance of butterfly valves is crucial and directly related to the stable operation and safety of the system. Traditional sealing materials often encounter problems such as wear, aging, and corrosion when facing complex working conditions, leading to sealing failure of butterfly valves and causing medium leakage. The emergence of new sealing materials has brought revolutionary changes to the improvement of butterfly valve sealing performance.

The new sealing material has excellent wear resistance. During frequent opening and closing of butterfly valves, there will be severe friction between the valve seat and the butterfly plate. Traditional materials are prone to wear and tear, which increases the sealing gap and leads to leakage. And new ceramic based composite materials have high hardness and strong wear resistance, which can effectively resist friction loss, maintain the sealing accuracy of butterfly valves for a long time, and reduce the risk of leakage.

Corrosion resistance is also a major advantage of new sealing materials. In industries such as chemical and petroleum, butterfly valves are often exposed to highly corrosive media. Ordinary sealing materials are prone to corrosion and damage to the sealing structure. The new type of polytetrafluoroethylene composite material has excellent chemical stability and can resist the erosion of various corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts, ensuring that the butterfly valve still seals well in harsh corrosive environments.

In addition, the new sealing material also has good elasticity and adaptability. When the temperature and pressure change, the sealing surface of the butterfly valve will undergo slight deformation. New rubber nanocomposites and other materials can automatically adjust their shape within a certain range, tightly adhere to the sealing surface, fill small gaps, and enhance the sealing effect. Even in situations with significant fluctuations in operating conditions, reliable sealing of butterfly valves can be ensured.

The new sealing material, with its characteristics of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and good elasticity, comprehensively improves the sealing performance of butterfly valves, extends their service life, and reduces maintenance costs. If you are troubled by the sealing problem of butterfly valves, it is worth delving into these new sealing materials to ensure the stable operation of butterfly valves.
