- Thrust bearing reduces friction during operation
- Anti-blowout stem design ensures safety under high pressure
IV. Manufacturing Process & Quality Control
-
Precision Casting
- Investment casting for complex components with dimensional accuracy ≤±0.5mm
- Ultrasonic testing (UT) and magnetic particle inspection (MPI) for defect detection
- Heat treatment (normalizing/tempering) to enhance material properties
-
Advanced Machining
- CNC machining centers ensure surface roughness Ra≤3.2μm
- Seat sealing surface ground to flatness ≤0.02mm
- Stem thread pitch accuracy ≤±0.01mm
-
Stringent Testing
- Hydrostatic test: 1.5x working pressure for shell, 1.1x for sealing (30-minute hold time)
- Gas tightness test with nitrogen at 0.6MPa
- Low-temperature test (-46°C) for cryogenic applications
