Drawing number

For general industrial fittings produced by specialized valve manufacturing enterprises, the drawing is assigned a number in accordance with OST 26-07-2046-82. In this case, the letter symbol of the developer or manufacturer is indicated before the numbers (one or two letters), the first two digits determine the name of the reinforcement (type, type and main design features of the reinforcement), the next three digits determine the serial number of the product within a given design variety, the last three digits determine the nominal bore of this product (for products with DN from 1000 mm, the designation of the nominal bore consists of four digits). Valves produced by enterprises belonging to various departments (for example, shipbuilding, power engineering, etc.) have a designation system adopted by these departments.

Summary memo for beginning specialists and interested partners in related fields:

Devices installed on pipelines, called pipeline fittings, are designed for a variety of purposes - control, regulation, protection, monitoring and many other functions. For a more understandable designation, pipeline and shut-off valves were classified as units by sections to clarify operational properties, functions and purposes. The standard for definitions and terms for pipeline fittings - GOST 24856-2014 was adopted on May 30, 2014. It was agreed upon and approved by Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. The interstate standard has been in force in the Russian Federation since April 1, 2015 and includes definitions and terms; the classification of pipeline shut-off valves is divided into a fairly large number of main types:

  • Shut-off valves are devices used for periodic or one-time turning on or shutting off part of a pipeline or object (valves, valves, gate valves, taps, etc.
  • Control valves are devices used to partially block flow sections and change the amount of flowing liquid in order to regulate flow rates, pressure, level, temperature, medium composition, etc.;
  • Safety valves are devices used to limit operating parameters and prevent emergency conditions: releasing excess medium in case of excessive pressure increase (safety and bypass valves), preventing the movement of the medium in the opposite direction (check valves);
  • Control valves - devices designed to determine the presence or level of liquid (test valves, level indicators);
  • Various fittings are devices used, for example, to drain one of the phases of the medium: condensate (condensate drains), air (plungers), oil (oil separators), etc.

In addition, shut-off valves can be classified into the following types:

  • According to the method of application - the areas of application in a particular production environment of shut-off valves can vary dramatically, therefore the valves are divided into: industrial, special, marine, sanitary fittings
  • By structural types of fittings - in this classification, types of fittings are divided depending on their design features (gate valves, gate valves, taps, valves)
  • By connection method - in this case, the method of connecting the fittings to the pipeline is considered (connection using couplings, flanges, fittings or welding)
  • According to the method of sealing the fittings - relative to the external environment (stuffing box, membrane, hose, bellows fittings)
  • According to the method of controlling the valves. From the point of view of control method, valves are divided into remote controlled valves, automatically controlled valves and manually controlled valves

The main parameters by which one or another shut-off valve is selected are:

  1. Nominal passage diameter Dy - internal diameter of the pipeline to which the fittings are connected
  2. Operating pressure P - the pressure at which the valve is operated
  3. Conditional medium pressure Ru - nominal medium pressure, usually corresponding to the working pressure at a medium temperature t = 0-120 0C for cast iron fittings and t = 0-200 0C for carbon steel fittings
  4. Test pressure is the pressure at which a hydraulic strength test of the fittings is performed.

In our company, it is customary to designate all manufactured products with general industrial markings in accordance with international standards. This is done for more convenient product identification and a brief description of the product. The designations can be deciphered as follows:

All shut-off valves according to classification have a standard type of designation XXaaYYbb

The international standard for the classification of shut-off valves has clarified the general rules for the development, adoption, acceptance and application in the valve industry of countries that have approved this GOST.

According to GOST R 52720-2007 PIPELINE FITTINGS, table of figures (t/f) is a symbol, which is a combination of letters and numbers that determine the type and type of valve, the design of the valve, the material design of the body, the type and material of the seal in the valve, and the type of actuator."

It is very easy to understand the designations of tables and figures - just remember the tables of numbers of names of fittings and letters of materials. Letters are abbreviated names of materials.

Example

The table-figure consists of: - The first two digits - a table indicating the type of product (gate, valve, etc.). The complete list is given in Table 1.

Previous page

For pipelines for different purposes, different types of shut-off valves are used. In order to correctly select a device for a particular pipeline system, you need to know the purpose of the fittings and its technical characteristics. Let's look at the main types of locking devices in more detail.

Scope of application of shut-off valves

Shut-off valves are intended:

  1. for pipelines supplying gas or water to residential, domestic and industrial premises and discharging sewage. This is the widest scope of application of locking devices;
  2. for pipelines carrying aggressive substances. Devices for the chemical and oil and gas industries will demand higher tightness and corrosion resistance;
  3. household networks, heat supply and sewerage. The fittings installed on private networks are small in size and easy to manage.

Only fittings that are intended specifically for this type can be installed on the pipeline.

Types of shut-off valves

The following types of shut-off pipeline valves are distinguished:

  • taps;
  • gates (valves);
  • valves;
  • flaps.

Crane classification

Shut-off valves are primarily designed for low-pressure domestic pipelines.

The shut-off valve design is as follows:

  • frame;
  • locking element;
  • handle;
  • set of sealing gaskets.

Devices can be classified according to several criteria:

  • type of locking element;
  • installation method.

An element that blocks the flow of a passing medium can be:

  • ball. In accordance with this, the valve is called a ball valve (figure above);
  • cone in the form of a plug (plug valve).

The taps can be attached to the pipeline:

  • coupling method. The fixing nuts are screwed onto the thread prepared on the pipe;

  • flange method. The fixing elements are flanges connected to each other with bolts;
  • welding method.

Each tap has its own symbol. The markings on the device body must include:

  • nominal diameter (DN);
  • conditional pressure for which the device is designed (PN);
  • material used to make the tap;
  • manufacturer;
  • additional reference materials (date of manufacture, batch number, etc.).

If you know the markings, you can always choose a locking device yourself.

Using Gates

The shut-off valve () consists of a body with two ends for attaching the device and a seat that is closed by a shutter.

The main distinguishing feature of a valve from a faucet is its high tightness class, which allows the device to be used on gas pipelines.

A valve, like a faucet, can be connected to a pipeline using couplings, flanges or welding.

Valves are produced that are actuated by:

  • flywheel (manual control);
  • electric drive (electronic control), including using a remote control.

The marking of shut-off valves also contains:

  • symbol of the device model;
  • passage;
  • designation of the type of connection to the pipeline;
  • pressure;
  • execution material;
  • Climatic performance;
  • document on the basis of which the valve is manufactured.

Purpose and types of valves

The most commonly used element of any pipeline is the valve. The device consists of a body and a cover, between which the shutter is located.

The purpose of shut-off valves - valves - is any pipelines whose diameter varies from 15 mm to 2000 mm.

The advantages of the device, compared to other types of shut-off valves, are:

  • ease of maintenance and design;
  • small sizes;
  • low resistance.

Gate valves can be made from the following materials:

  • become;
  • cast iron;
  • non-ferrous metals and alloys made from them.

The valves are controlled:

  • manually (rotating the handle);
  • electric drive;
  • hydraulic drive.

Valves with electric or hydraulic drive are mainly installed on industrial pipelines.

The designation of shut-off valves (valve) determines:

  • type and name of the device;
  • nominal working diameter;
  • maximum pressure in the system;
  • type of drive;
  • position of the device in working condition;
  • accommodation category;
  • Climatic performance;
  • type of connection of the device to the pipeline.

Purpose of dampers

The closing element in the damper is a disk that rotates around an axis.

Valves are mainly used on pipelines that have a large diameter and are under low pressure, since the tightness class of the device is quite low.

The damper can be controlled:

  • a flywheel that drives the axis of rotation (manual control);
  • hydraulic drive;
  • electric drive.

In most cases, the body of the locking device is made of cast iron, and the rotary disk is made of steel.

Dampers are installed:

  • welding method;
  • flange fasteners.

The valves can be used in chemical pipelines and sewer systems. They are practically not used for water supply or heating.

The brand of shut-off valves - valves, as well as the batch number, diameter, pressure and area of ​​definition are indicated on the device body similarly to the previously given diagrams.

Symbols of shut-off valves

Each type and subtype of shut-off valves used in pipeline construction has its own symbol, which makes it easier for builders to select a device.

For example, a gate valve is denoted by two triangles connected by vertices.

How other fittings are designated is indicated in the figure below.

Thus, each type of shut-off valve is intended for specific pipelines. To select the most suitable device, you can use the markings that are applied to the product body or indicated in the pipeline diagram.
