TU 3742-001-ХХХХХХ-2015" (where 15 is the nominal diameter).

1.1. Products must comply with the requirements of GOST R 53672, GOST 21345, GOST 28343, GOST R 53671, these technical conditions, a set of design documentation and regulatory documents for a specific type or design, approved in the prescribed manner. Devices must be manufactured according to working drawings approved in the prescribed manner.

1.1.1. Check valves

Check valves must comply with the requirements of GOST 27477, GOST 53671.

Products exported, including to countries with tropical climates, must additionally comply with the requirements of GOST 26304.

Manufacturability requirements

Products must be sealed against the external environment using the control method specified in the design documentation.

The design documentation must indicate the installation position of the product.

Check valves should begin to open when the pressure drop is no more than 0.03 MPa and return to their original state (close) when the medium stops moving in the forward direction. The actual minimum value of the pressure drop, the start of opening of check valves and check valves, is determined when testing prototypes.

What is it and what is it for?

A shut-off valve (OK) is needed to block the movement of the working medium in pipelines during emergencies. These include:

  1. leaks and flooding in the event of malfunctions in pipes and other elements of the system;
  2. stopping the pumping unit, which resulted in the formation of a reverse flow of liquid;
  3. a decrease or increase in pressure in the network with a certain deviation from the norm;
  4. depressurization of the main components of the pipeline due to temperature changes or ground movements.

Sometimes a cut-off device is necessary due to the peculiarities of the technological process.

Purpose and scope of application

The main area of ​​application of the cut-off device is filtration and purification systems for water. Errors in the installation of the treatment pipeline, exceeding the service life of its consumables, sudden changes in fluid pressure and other similar manifestations lead to failure of the entire system as a whole and additional financial costs. Equipping with a shut-off unit ensures safe and efficient operation of the structure and increases its service life. Enterprises in the industrial, chemical, and housing and communal services sectors also purchase and use such devices.

Methods for marking fittings

Rules for marking shut-off valves:

  • imprint – on the body of the product;
  • data on the characteristics of the model - from the front side;
  • manufacturer's information is on the back wall.

Actually, the application process is carried out using one of three methods - stamping, branding or engraving. All 3 approaches involve deformation of the surface material with different levels of change.

Stamping is a durable way to mark shutoff valves. The designations made with its help have the service life of the structures themselves. At the same time, the quality of the print also remains high.

Branding is one of the most technologically complex methods of marking shut-off valves . Uses an electric spark pencil for marking. A rather expensive surface treatment format, therefore it is rarely used.

Engraving is one of the first methods of marking surfaces. Uses cutters (punch, milling cutter, graver), takes a minimum of time, and lasts for a fairly long period of time.

Principle of operation

A shut-off valve is often called an anti-flood, meaning its main purpose is to prevent liquid from flowing out of the pipeline.

The valve is designed in such a way that upon a manual command from personnel, a signal from a sensor or other element, or movement of the medium in a direction not provided for by the design, the shut-off device is quickly activated and the device cuts off the passage of the working medium. A characteristic feature of the device is its speed, usually provided by the actuation of a spring or other mechanism to close the valve.

For example, in a disposable valve, the liquid entering the device acts on a silicone gasket. Under the influence of moisture, it grows in volume and lifts the shutter of the locking mechanism. It blocks the channel and stops the movement of the medium. The disposable device is discarded and another valve is installed in its place. Since leaks do not happen often, the costs of such a valve are not comparable to the costs of repairing an apartment after a flood.

Types and designs

Today's market for pipeline fittings presents a wide variety of shut-off type devices, depending on the use and design features; their modifications are constantly appearing.

Based on functionality and body types, shut-off valves are divided into:

  • checkpoints;
  • corner;
  • double-saddle and single-saddle.

Conventional pass-through devices are installed in networks with one-way traffic.

The latter can withstand high pressure and hydrowave shocks.

Devices of the third type produce one-way or two-way blocking of the flow.

Based on the types of locking devices, valves are divided into spring and lever-weight valves.

The solenoid valve operates by generating an electromagnetic field within it, which opens or closes the locking mechanism. This process is carried out by special latches: they press on the springs or release them, actuating the valve.

Differences

Cut-off devices are also distinguished by the method of control. Automatic valves can be triggered by the working medium itself or based on sensor readings if any abnormal changes occur in the pipeline.

Manual control involves direct action on the locking mechanism by the operator. This is done by turning a wheel or pressing a button. Shut-off valves can be adjustable or unregulated by design, with a gland or bellows seal.

Tips for choosing

When choosing, first of all, you need to clearly define what tasks the device will solve.

The main selection options will determine the contents of the pipeline.

Next, the operating pressure and temperature conditions of the transported medium are important.

The device must have the highest possible response speed.

All the most important information about the performance of the unit is on the product label; please read it carefully. The first two digits indicate the type of fittings 22,24 - shut-off valves.

Rules for marking fittings

Marking of fittings is a regulatory measure and must be carried out in accordance with the norms and regulations of Russian state standards. In accordance with the latter, the designations of shut-off valves are formed into a table and include numbers + letters. Order of marks:

  • The first 2 digits of the row indicate the class, type, type of product;
  • letters after the first 2 digits – material of the main components (body, cover);
  • 1–2 numbers followed by letters – registration number (if there are 3, then the first is the type of drive used);
  • 2 “closing” letters indicate the material design of the surfaces;
  • the last letters indicate the design assembly option.

According to GOST, application is carried out at the last stage of its manufacture. Important condition: the impression is made upon completion of production, but before testing. This approach makes it possible to control samples rejected after a control assessment in order to promptly eliminate defects and transfer the products for production and sale.

The high quality of the marking imprint is a reputational factor, a sign of the seriousness of the manufacturer and its responsible approach to the quality of its product range. Therefore, the marking process is entrusted exclusively to specialists with appropriate training. It is important to have the skills to work with specialized equipment used for marking shut-off valves.
