Valve seat

Valve seat

The valve seat is one of the key components of the valve. Its primary function is to work closely with the valve disc (or valve core) to form a sealing pair to ensure that the valve effectively blocks the flow of fluid when it is closed.

Product Details

1. Main functions
● Seal function: Interfaces with the valve disc to prevent fluid leakage (internal or external leakage).

● Support and direction: Some valve seat designs can guide the movement of the valve disc to ensure accurate alignment.

● Pressure and Corrosion Resistance: Withstands medium pressure, temperature, and chemical corrosion to maintain structural integrity.

2. Common Materials
● Metal materials: stainless steel, copper alloy, hard alloy (such as stellite alloy), suitable for high temperature and high pressure environments (such as power plants, petrochemicals).

● Non-metallic materials: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), rubber, nylon, etc., used for corrosive environments or low-temperature, low-pressure scenes (e.g., chemical industry, water treatment).

● Composite materials: metal matrix non-metallic coating considering strength and sealing.

3. Structural type
● Fixed valve seat: integrated with the valve body or press-pressed, simple design (such as globe valve, gate valve).

● Replaceable valve seat: independent design, easy to repair (commonly used in ball valves and butterfly valves).

● Elastic valve seat: Use rubber or spring to improve the adaptability of the seal (such as a soft-seal butterflyer).

4. Application Scenarios
● Heavy-duty working conditions: high-pressure steam, corrosive chemicals, ultra-low temperature liquids, etc.

● Key systems: oil pipelines, cooling systems for nuclear power plants, fuel management in the aerospace industry.
