Installation & Maintenance

Installation Steps

YProper installation ensures reliable performance and long service life. Operators should follow these steps during installation:

  1. Inspect the valve before installation to confirm no damage and verify the seat side.
  2. Install the valve in the pipeline with the seat side facing downstream.
  3. Select a gasket suitable for the specific medium.
  4. Use studs instead of bolts to achieve uniform tightening.
  5. Tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern for even sealing.
  6. Check gland packing once the system reaches operating pressure to maintain sealing.
  7. Avoid excessive tightening, which may hinder valve movement.
  8. Support the actuator during horizontal installations to prevent stress on the valve.
  9. For double-seated or special valves, consult NTGD technical service.

Tip: Careful installation minimizes leakage risk and enhances operational safety.

Maintenance Tips

Regular inspection and prompt correction of minor issues can prevent larger problems. The table below summarizes common maintenance concerns and solutions:

Issue Cause Solution
Stem Failure Excessive force, incorrect material, misalignment Use proper torque, inspect regularly, replace if necessary
Stem Sticking Packing too tight, rough stem, misalignment Loosen packing, polish stem, correct alignment
Leakage (Bonnet/Body) Uneven bolts, damaged seals Retighten evenly, replace seals
Gate Jamming Debris, wear, or misalignment Clean, lubricate, realign
Seat Erosion Abrasive media, heat, or incorrect sizing Use more wear-resistant materials, inspect periodically
Corrosion Corrosive fluids or improper material Apply coatings, use suitable alloys

Note: Routine maintenance preserves valve efficiency, reduces downtime, and extends overall service life.

Comparison

Alloy Steel vs. Other Materials

Alloy steel provides greater strength and longevity than cast iron or standard stainless steel. It resists wear, heat, and chemical corrosion more effectively, reducing repair frequency and avoiding costly system interruptions.

Material Strength Corrosion Resistance Wear Resistance Cost
Alloy Steel High High High Medium
Cast Iron Low Low Low Low
Stainless Steel Medium High Medium High
Bronze Low Medium Low Medium

Tip: Alloy steel is recommended for high-pressure, abrasive, or chemically aggressive applications.

Knife Gate vs. Other Valves

YKnife gate valves outperform other valve types when handling thick slurries, solids, or viscous media. They provide reliable shutoff and resist clogging where ball, butterfly, or globe valves often fail.

Valve Type Best For Clogging Risk Shutoff Quality Maintenance
Knife Gate Slurries, solids Low High Easy
Ball Valve Clean liquids, gases High Medium Medium
Butterfly Valve Large flows, clean media Medium Medium Medium
Globe Valve Flow control, clean media High High Hard

Note: Knife gate valves ensure smoother operation, less clogging, and reliable shutoff in heavy-duty applications.
