Maintenance and Upkeep of Valve Body

The maintenance and upkeep of the valve body are important steps in ensuring long-term stable operation and extending the service life of the valve. The following is an official language explanation of valve body maintenance and upkeep from a professional perspective.

1、 Daily Maintenance of Valve Body 

Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean the exterior of the valve body to remove impurities such as dust and oil, and maintain a smooth surface of the valve body. For parts that are difficult to reach internally, compressed air blowing or specialized tools can be used for cleaning to ensure unobstructed fluid channels.

Check sealing: Regularly inspect the sealing performance of the valve, including key parts such as the contact surface between the valve seat and valve disc, packing box, etc. If a leak is found, the cause should be promptly identified and measures taken to repair it to prevent the leak from expanding and affecting the normal operation of the system.

Lubrication and maintenance: For valve body components that require lubrication, such as valve stems, bearings, etc., regular lubrication should be carried out according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Choose the appropriate lubricant to ensure good lubrication effect and reduce friction and wear between components.

2、 Regularly Inspect the Valve Body 

Appearance inspection: Check whether there are cracks, rust and other defects on the surface of the valve body, and whether the flange connection is tight and leak free. Any issues discovered should be promptly addressed and recorded.

Performance testing: Professional testing equipment is used to test the performance of valves, including opening and closing torque, sealing performance, flow characteristics, etc. Ensure that valve performance meets design requirements and usage standards.

Spare parts replacement: For vulnerable parts and consumables such as fillers, gaskets, etc., regular replacement should be carried out according to the manufacturer's recommendations. At the same time, inspect and replace aging and damaged components to ensure the overall performance of the valve.

3、 Professional Maintenance of Valve Body  

Disassembly and cleaning: For valves that have been running for a long time or are severely contaminated, disassembly and cleaning should be carried out. Thoroughly remove the dirt and impurities inside the valve body, and restore the original performance of the valve.

Calibration and adjustment: For valves that require precise control, such as regulating valves, safety valves, etc., regular calibration and adjustment should be carried out. Ensure that the control accuracy and response speed of the valve meet the system requirements.

Preventive maintenance: Develop a preventive maintenance plan based on the operating condition of the valve and the manufacturer's recommendations. Regularly maintain and upkeep valves to prevent malfunctions and improve system reliability and safety.

In summary, the maintenance and upkeep of valve body is a systematic and professional task. By combining daily maintenance, regular inspections, and professional maintenance, the long-term stable operation and extended service life of valves can be ensured. At the same time, it also helps to improve the overall performance and security of the system.
