Maintenance period of the butterfly valve

The maintenance cycle of butterfly valves usually depends on a number of factors, including the operating environment of the high performance butterfly valve, the characteristics of the medium, the operating conditions, and the manufacturer's recommendations. In general, the following are some suggestions for maintaining flanged butterfly valves:

1.Check regularly

Perform regular visual inspection to ensure that there is no obvious damage or wear to the valve body, seals, bolts, etc. This can be done on a case-by-case basis, such as quarterly or semi-annual.

2.Lubrication system

If the wafer butterfly valve uses a lubrication system, ensure the normal operation of the lubrication system, according to the frequency of use and working environment, regularly check and replenish the lubricating oil.

3.Check the sealing performance

Check the sealing part regularly to ensure the integrity of the seal and replace it as necessary. This helps to maintain a good sealing performance of the manual butterfly valve.

4.Control system

Check the working status of the control system regularly to ensure the normal operation of the actuator components and avoid the poor operation of the valve due to system failure.

5.Clean the valve body

Clean the inside of the valve body regularly to avoid the accumulation of dirt and sediment affecting the normal operation of the rubber seal butterfly valve.

6.According to usage

If butterfly valves often operate in harsh environments or handle corrosive media, more frequent maintenance may be required.

The specific maintenance period may vary depending on the specific type and use of the actuated butterfly valve. Therefore, it is best to consult the manufacturer or maintenance professional of the butterfly valve for more accurate guidance.
