E. Introduction for the fifth unit: sealing surface or lining material.

Material Code
copperT
Alloy steel Y

MoZTIR
Rubber X
NylonN
teflonF
Bearing alloyB

Notes: 

  1. If the sealing material is using the valve body material, the code will be“W”. 
  2. When the sealing material is different, it is indicated with the material code with lower hardness. 

F. Introduction of the sixth unit: Nominal Pressure. 

G. Introduction of the seventh unit: valve body material: 

MaterialCode
Gray ironZ
malleable cast ironK
Ductile cast ironQ
Carbon cast steel C
Copper alloyT
Stainless steel P

Notes: when the PN≤1.6MPa, and the valve body material is carbon cast iron, when the PN≥2.5MPa, the valve body material is carbon cast steel, the code for valve body material will be omitted. 

4. General rules for How to choose a proper industrial valve: 

A. Choose the industrial valve according to purpose. 

①:connect and cut off the flow: the gate valves, globe valves, ball valves can be applied to connect and cut off the flow. 

②: used to prevent the mediums from flowing back: the check valves can be used to prevent the mediums from flowing back. 

③: used to regulate the pressure and flow rate: the regulating valves, balance valves, pressure reducing valves, butterfly valves and plug valves can be used to regulate the pressure and flow rate.

④: used to separate and distribute the mediums: the multi port ball valve, plug valves, drain valve. 

⑤: used to protect the device to work safe: safety valves can be used to protect the valve to work safely. 

B. Choose the industrial valve according to the driving mode: 

①: manually-operated valves: for industrial valves with small diameter, they are usually driven by lever hand or hand wheel. 

For industrial valves with large diameter, they are driven by hand wheel through reduction gear, generally, that kind of industrial valves are rarely opened and closed, or are installed in a convenient place. 

②: driven by power. There are some kinds of industrial valves, which are driven by pneumatic actuator, hydraulic actuator or electrical actuator, generally, they are installed in some dangerous places or some places where the valve is not convenient to operate.
