Valve parts forgings can adjust their working parameters according to actual needs during use, but such adjustments must be made within the material properties and design limits, otherwise it may affect their service life or cause failures. The so-called working parameters mainly include pressure, temperature, flow rate, and opening and closing frequency, which directly affect the structure and material properties of the valve.
Adjusting working parameters within a reasonable range is a flexible way to respond to different working conditions. For example, when the system's demand for flow increases, the opening or closing frequency of valves can be adjusted appropriately to meet operational requirements; When facing different temperature or pressure conditions, the valve can also be operated within an acceptable range by reducing the system operating load or adopting intermittent operation. But this adjustment must take into account the material characteristics of the forging, such as temperature resistance, strength limit, fatigue life, and adaptability of the sealing structure. Due to its dense internal structure and excellent mechanical properties, forgings have strong compressive and impact resistance, and to some extent have the ability to withstand fluctuations in working parameters. However, long-term use beyond design parameters may still lead to local damage, deformation, and even failure.
Adjusting the working parameters must also be evaluated in conjunction with the overall matching of the valve system, such as the connection method between the valve body and the pipeline, sealing structure, lubrication condition, and the collaborative work of other components. Any unreasonable parameter adjustment may cause system instability or security risks.
In order to ensure the scientificity and safety of the adjustment, it is recommended to refer to the technical specifications in the product manual or consult the technical support of the valve manufacturer before modifying the working parameters, to ensure that the adjustment does not exceed the design capacity of the valve parts forging. Reasonably adjusting parameters not only helps improve system efficiency, but also extends the service life of equipment without sacrificing valve performance.
