What is the main purpose of PTFE spraying on valve stem
Information summary:The valve stem is sprayed with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for the following purposes:
1. reduce friction coefficient: PTFE has a low friction coefficient. Spraying on the valve rod can make the valve rod smoother in the process of movement, reduce friction with other parts, reduce the operating torque, make the opening and closing of the valve more flexible, reduce wear, and extend the servic
The valve stem is sprayed with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for the following purposes:
1. reduce friction coefficient: PTFE has a low friction coefficient. Spraying on the valve rod can make the valve rod smoother in the process of movement, reduce friction with other parts, reduce the operating torque, make the opening and closing of the valve more flexible, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the valve rod and valve.
2. enhanced corrosion resistance: PTFE has excellent chemical stability and corrosion resistance, which can effectively isolate the contact between the valve rod and corrosive media and prevent the valve rod from being corroded. It is especially suitable for some valves working in harsh corrosive environment, such as chemical industry, electroplating, water treatment and other industries, and can improve the reliability and stability of the valve.
3. improve the sealing performance: PTFE has good flexibility and self lubrication, which helps to form a better sealing effect at the sealing parts such as valve stem and stuffing box and reduce medium leakage. Even after long-term use, due to the characteristics of PTFE, it can still maintain good sealing performance, improve the sealing reliability of the valve, and ensure the normal operation of the system.
4. high temperature resistance: PTFE has high heat resistance and can withstand high temperature environment to a certain extent, so that the valve rod can still maintain good performance under high temperature conditions, prevent the deformation, adhesion or performance degradation of the valve rod due to high temperature, and broaden the application temperature range of the valve.
