    BCST your Expert Pneumatic Gate Valve Supplier in China

    BCST pneumatic gate valve is a control valve that allows media to flow through unobstructed or stops the fluid flow. It uses a pneumatic actuator instead of a handwheel. The actuator can spin the stem to raise or lower the gate by utilizing air. This allows it to be operated remotely with no user on-site but requires a pneumatic system on site. In addition, depending on the specific design and application, gate valves can have different methods to accommodate various applications. But still, the primary function of the gate valve parts remains the same.

    Pneumatic Gate Valve -FAQ

    BCST has controlled and automated various valves such as ball valves, butterfly valves, globe valves, and pneumatic gate valves for 22 years. Its involvement is in the processes of the industries suitable for both businesses and private clients. The moulding and designing of the pneumatic gate valves are available depending on the requirements of your applications. Let’s study the complete guide about the pneumatic gate valves below.

    What important pneumatic accessories do you need for pneumatic actuators in the pneumatic gate valves?

    Electro-pneumatic valve positioner:

    The valve positioner is an essential accessory present in the pneumatic actuator. Its connection is with the pneumatic actuator to improve the positioning of the pneumatic gate valves, overcome the impact of the frictional force on the stem of pneumatic gate valves, and the unbalanced force of the medium. It is to make sure that pneumatic gate valves are working with the signals from the regulator’s position.

    Following are the conditions where you need the positioner:

    • When the pressure of the medium is the high and considerable pressure difference
    • Significant calibre difference of regulating the pneumatic gate valves
    • The low or high temperature of the pneumatic gate valves
    • Whenever it is important for increasing the working speed for regulating the pneumatic gate valves
    • While using the typical signals for operating the specific spring actuators
    • During the usage of controlling the split-range
    • When the pneumatic gate valves experience the action in the reverse direction, interchanging of the air-to-opening and air-to-closing types.
    • When there is a requirement of changing the features of the flow
    • There is no availability of a piston actuator or spring actuator, So it is important to achieve proportional action.
    • When using electrical signals for operating the pneumatic actuators, the power distribution is necessary towards the pneumatic valve positioner.

    Solenoid valve:

    • Whenever the system reaches the controlling point, it has to be equipped with a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve selection depends on the AC and DC power supply, frequency, voltage, and relation between the solenoid with the regulation of pneumatic gate valves. You can use it for usually closing or normally opening. If there is a requirement for increasing the capacity of the solenoid valve to decrease the action time, use two solenoid valves in parallel directions, or it can be the pilot valve whose combination is with the large area pneumatic relay.

    Air-filter pressure reduction valve:

    • This accessory is in the industrial equipment for automation purposes. Its functionality is for filtering and purifying the compressed air from the compressor. It is also helpful for stabilizing the pressure in the pneumatic gate valves.

    Travel switch (the responder):

    • The travel switch is the reflection of two positions at an extreme level of the valve switch and the same sending the signals as the indication. Depending on this signal, the control room diverts towards the switch state of the pneumatic gate valves for noting the corresponding measurements.

    Why is a pneumatic actuator suitable for pneumatic gate valves?

    Pneumatic actuator:

    The pneumatic actuator and adjustments in it are the single unit. The actuator is available in different types such as membrane type, rack, fork, piston, and pinion type.

    Features of pneumatic actuator:

    • There is a longer stroke in the piston type of pneumatic actuator and suitable where there is a more significant thrust.
    • The stroke is of small size and can drive the stem of pneumatic gate valves
    • The fork-type of the pneumatic actuator is useful in pneumatic gate valves where large torques are required.
    • The rack and piston type of pneumatic actuator structure have many benefits, including simplicity, stability, reliability, safety, and protection from the explosion. This pneumatic actuator is mainly used in the production processes where there are safety requirements, including oil refineries, chemical industries, and power plants.

    Difference between the electric actuator and pneumatic actuator:

     

    Benefits of using pneumatic actuator in terms of performance:

    • The pneumatic actuator can adapt to the working environment, particularly in harsh conditions like explosive, flammable, dusty, or radiation. The ranking of this actuator is more than the electrical, hydraulic, and electronic control.
    • The action and response are quick
    • It can handle the load and adapt the applications’ output with high torque.
    • In the pneumatic actuator, it is very important to convert the electrical signals into the pneumatic ones and later to the electrical signals.
    • There is a need for a source and device for the compression of air

    Electric actuator:

    • There is no need to install the electric actuator
    • The maintenance of the load is easy to handle without any power supply
    • There is no risk in terms of leakage in the electric actuator, and reliability is also high
    • Even you need no need of an extra device for the pressure and no noise in the electric actuator
    • The transmission speed is low and unsuitable for complex circuits, and has many components.
    • The safety is poor in electric actuators and not even explosion-proof.
    • There is a possibility of easily damaging the motor whenever the stem of the valve gets tied or blockage of the stroke
    • There are chances of improvement in the electric actuators, but pneumatic actuators are always superior and trending in many industrial applications.
    • On average, the failure rate is higher than the pneumatic actuator. It is often available with ball valves, butterfly valves, globe valves, and gate valves.

    • Always hire a trained and professional technician to maintain pneumatic gate valves.
    • Every time make sure that you are familiar with the safety precautions about handling the pneumatic gate valves. You need proper clothing for safety purposes while handling the hazardous components.
    • Isolation of the pneumatic gate valves is necessary, along with the components in the vacuum system from the pneumatic or electrical supply, before starting your task so that the pneumatic gate valves don’t begin working accidentally.
    • Use appropriate equipment for lifting whenever you are moving the pneumatic gate valves. You also need to take care of the electric components and their connectivity.
    • Never use the reactive chemical substances for cleaning the pneumatic gate valves
    • Even the solvents aren’t suitable for cleaning the “O” rings
    • Always check the leakages in the pneumatic gate valves during the maintenance

    What is the installation process of the pneumatic gate valves?

    Requirements for the installation of pneumatic gate valves:

    You can fit pneumatic gate valves at any location. Although, it is the recommendation to install the pneumatic gate valves along with the counter seat, whose direction is towards the side of the high vacuum in the system. It assures that the whole body of the pneumatic gate valves is in the vacuum every time. It also reduces wear on the side of the seat on the pneumatic gate valves. The symbol V is on the flange connection on the side of the seat of pneumatic gate valves. If the pneumatic gate valves have support with the pipelines, then you fulfil the following requirements:

    • Ensure that the pneumatic gate valves have sufficient connection with the pipelines opposite them.
    • Must check the flanges of the pipeline are parallel, in-line and maintain proper distance to avoid the stress on the body of pneumatic gate valves.
    • Confirm the installation and configuration design that is appropriate for the pneumatic gate valves. If it is inappropriate, there can be a leakage in the pneumatic gate valves.
    • As per the recommendations, it is better to use the ISO trapped O-rings for mounting the pneumatic gate valves.

    The installation process of the pneumatic gate valves:

    There are two flanges in the pneumatic gate valves that can have holes. So, it is better to use bolts of the correct sizes to fit in the pneumatic gate valves. The perfect size of the bolt needs to be less than 3mm, at least the thickness of mating the seal and flanges. Use the following steps for installing the pneumatic gate valves:

    • Remove the covers of the flanges from the pneumatic gate valves and wipe the flanges along with the gasket with a clean and dry piece of cloth.
    • If the seal of your flange is O-ring, then wipe from the grease of high-vacuum like Fomblin to the O-ring, then start fitting the O-ring of the flange
    • Position the pneumatic gate valves in between the flanges of the pipeline and proper location
    • Fit and tight all the bolts for increasing the torque. The higher tightening of the torque can deform the body of pneumatic gate valves and lead towards the improper functionality of the pneumatic gate valves. If the bolts aren’t tightly in the correct manner, then there can be a leakage in the pneumatic gate valves.
