Product Overview
III. Structural Design & Technical Features
- 
Back Pressure Balanced Structure
- A balancing piston at the plug base counteracts axial load using medium pressure, reducing operating torque by 50% and resolving jamming in high-pressure applications. The balancing chamber connects to the medium channel, automatically compensating for pressure fluctuations to ensure stable operation in Class 900 systems.
 
 - 
Forced Lubrication Sealing System
- A circular lubrication groove between the body and plug injects NLGI 2# lithium-based grease via a high-pressure grease valve, forming a dynamic sealing film (sealing specific pressure ≥15MPa) while minimizing friction wear. Grease isolates media from metal surfaces, preventing scaling and corrosion to extend valve life beyond 100,000 cycles.
 
 - 
Bi-Directional Flow & Multi-Environment Adaptability
- Symmetric flow path eliminates the need to distinguish media direction, suitable for bi-directional shut-off in heat exchanger inlets/outlets and tank connecting pipes. Supports low-temperature (-20℃) to medium-high temperature (425℃) conditions, optimized via material combinations for diverse media characteristics.
 
 
IV. Manufacturing Processes & Quality Control
- 
Core Technologies
- Body Casting: Resin sand casting (WCB) or investment casting (stainless steel) ensures dimensional accuracy CT6, with critical areas ultrasonically tested (UT) for no shrinkage defects.
 - Plug Machining: CNC lathe precision turning followed by grinding polishes sealing surfaces to flatness ≤0.01mm, with fit clearance to body controlled at 0.05~0.1mm for high-pressure sealing.
 - Surface Treatment: Cast steel parts coated with epoxy resin (thickness ≥120μm); stainless steel components passivated, passing 500-hour salt spray test.
 
 - 
Quality Certification System

- 100% shell strength test (5-min hold, no leakage)
 - Bi-directional seal test (15-min hold, leakage rate ≤1×10⁻⁹m³/s)
 - Torque fluctuation test (≤10% deviation at ambient temperature)

Application
VI. Application Fields & Scenarios
- 
Water and Municipal Engineering
- Urban high-pressure water transmission (DN300~DN600): Back pressure balance reduces water hammer effects, flow resistance coefficient ≤0.7;
 - Wastewater treatment sludge pipelines: Lubrication system prevents fibrous debris jamming, reducing maintenance frequency by 50%.
 
 - 
Oil & Gas Industry
- Wellhead equipment, gathering pipelines (Class 300~Class 2500): Resists oil-gas erosion, bi-directional sealing prevents blowout risks;
 - LNG receiving station cryogenic pipelines (-196℃ custom model): LCB material with PTFE seals ensures cryogenic sealing.
 
 - 
Chemical & Energy Sectors
- Reactor feed control: Stainless steel (CF8M) resists acid-base media (pH 2~14), meets FDA certification;
 - Thermal power plant steam pipelines (425℃/10MPa): WC9 material resists high-temperature oxidation, outlasting gate valves by 2+ times.
 
 - 
Metallurgy & Mining
- Blast furnace gas pipelines: Sulfur-resistant design (316L) for H₂S-containing media (≤100ppm);
 - Mineral slurry systems: Wear-resistant plug surface handles 20% solid concentration, wear rate ≤0.05mm/1000 cycles.
