在高压工况的 “战场” 上,阀门就像守护管道系统的 “守门大将”,稍有不慎便可能引发 “溃堤” 危机。从石油化工的高温高压管道,到水电工程的巨型输水系统,不同场景对阀门的要求千差万别。想要挑中靠谱的 “守门大将”,材料、结构、密封性能等要素缺一不可,这场严谨的 “选角” 过程,藏着不少门道。
On the battlefield of high-pressure conditions, valves are like the "gatekeepers" guarding pipeline systems, and even a slight mistake can trigger a "dam breach" crisis. The requirements for valves vary greatly in different scenarios, from high-temperature and high-pressure pipelines in petrochemicals to giant water delivery systems in hydropower projects. To select a reliable 'gatekeeper', materials, structure, sealing performance and other elements are indispensable. This rigorous' casting 'process hides many tricks.
首先要 “摸透” 高压工况的脾气。不同行业的高压环境各有特点:化工领域不仅压力高,介质还可能具有腐蚀性、易燃易爆;电力系统中,高温蒸汽带来的热冲击不容小觑;而天然气输送管道,低温与高压并存。因此,了解具体工况的压力数值、介质类型、温度范围,是选型的第一步。比如,在 10MPa 以上的超高压环境中,普通阀门难以承受压力,必须选择高强度材质;若介质是强腐蚀性酸液,即便压力不高,也需重点关注阀门的耐腐蚀性能。只有精准把握工况特性,才能缩小筛选范围。
Firstly, it is necessary to "understand" the temperament of high-pressure working conditions. The high-pressure environment in different industries has its own characteristics: the chemical industry not only has high pressure, but the medium may also be corrosive, flammable, and explosive; The thermal shock caused by high-temperature steam in the power system should not be underestimated; And natural gas transmission pipelines coexist with low temperature and high pressure. Therefore, understanding the pressure values, medium types, and temperature ranges of specific operating conditions is the first step in selection. For example, in ultra-high pressure environments above 10MPa, ordinary valves are difficult to withstand pressure and must be made of high-strength materials; If the medium is a highly corrosive acid, even if the pressure is not high, it is important to pay close attention to the corrosion resistance of the valve. Only by accurately grasping the characteristics of the working conditions can the screening range be narrowed down.
材料是决定阀门 “抗压实力” 的关键。在高压下,阀门材料不仅要扛住巨大压力,还得保证结构稳定不泄漏。铸钢和锻钢是常见的 “主力军”,铸钢成本较低,适合制造大口径阀门;锻钢经过锻造处理,内部组织致密,强度和韧性更优,常用于高压、高温或高腐蚀性工况。对于更高要求的场景,不锈钢、合金钢甚至钛合金等材料登场。例如,含钼不锈钢能抵御多种酸碱腐蚀,钛合金则在海水、强氧化性介质中表现出色。除了金属材料,密封部位常采用聚四氟乙烯、橡胶等非金属材质,它们柔软且密封性能好,但要注意不同材质的耐温、耐压极限,比如普通橡胶在高温高压下易老化变形,需改用氟橡胶等高性能材料。
The material is the key to determining the "compressive strength" of the valve. Under high pressure, valve materials not only need to withstand tremendous pressure, but also ensure structural stability without leakage. Cast steel and forged steel are common "main forces". Cast steel has a lower cost and is suitable for manufacturing large-diameter valves; Forged steel undergoes forging treatment, resulting in a dense internal structure and superior strength and toughness. It is commonly used in high-pressure, high-temperature, or highly corrosive working conditions. For higher demand scenarios, materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, and even titanium alloy are introduced. For example, molybdenum containing stainless steel can resist various acid and alkali corrosion, while titanium alloy performs well in seawater and strongly oxidizing media. In addition to metal materials, non-metallic materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene and rubber are often used for sealing parts, which are soft and have good sealing performance. However, attention should be paid to the temperature and pressure resistance limits of different materials. For example, ordinary rubber is prone to aging and deformation under high temperature and pressure, and high-performance materials such as fluororubber need to be used instead.

阀门的结构设计,直接影响其 “守门” 的可靠性。截止阀、闸阀、球阀、蝶阀等不同类型,各有优劣。截止阀通过阀瓣与阀座的贴合实现密封,关闭严密,适合截断流体,但阻力较大,不适用于频繁开关;闸阀全开时流体阻力小,适合大口径管道,但密封性能相对较弱,高压下可能出现轻微泄漏;球阀和蝶阀操作简便,可快速启闭,球阀密封性能好,常用于需要快速切断的场合,蝶阀则更适合低压大流量系统。在高压工况下,通常优先选择结构紧凑、密封可靠的类型,如固定球球阀,其球体被两端轴承固定,压力越高,密封面贴合越紧,能有效防止泄漏。
The structural design of valves directly affects the reliability of their "gatekeeping" function. Globe valves, gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves and other different types have their own advantages and disadvantages. Globe valves achieve sealing by fitting the valve disc and seat tightly, suitable for cutting off fluids, but with high resistance and not suitable for frequent opening and closing; When the gate valve is fully opened, the fluid resistance is low, making it suitable for large-diameter pipelines. However, the sealing performance is relatively weak, and slight leaks may occur under high pressure; Ball valves and butterfly valves are easy to operate and can be quickly opened and closed. Ball valves have good sealing performance and are commonly used in situations where quick shut-off is required. Butterfly valves are more suitable for low-pressure and high flow systems. Under high-pressure conditions, it is usually preferred to choose compact and reliable sealed types, such as fixed ball valves, whose spheres are fixed by bearings at both ends. The higher the pressure, the tighter the sealing surface fits, which can effectively prevent leakage.
密封性能堪称阀门的 “生命线”,高压下任何微小缝隙都可能酿成大祸。阀门的密封分为内密封(防止介质泄漏)和外密封(防止介质外泄到大气中)。内密封依靠阀瓣与阀座的配合,常见的密封面形式有平面、锥面和球面。平面密封加工简单,但高压下易受杂质影响导致密封失效;锥面密封比压大,密封效果好,适用于高压;球面密封则能自动对中,密封性能更稳定。外密封一般采用填料函结构,通过压紧填料实现密封,填料的材质和装填方式至关重要。例如,柔性石墨填料耐高温、耐高压,是高压阀门常用的选择,但装填时需确保均匀紧实,否则容易出现外漏。
The sealing performance can be regarded as the "lifeline" of valves, and any small gap under high pressure can cause a major disaster. The sealing of valves is divided into internal sealing (to prevent medium leakage) and external sealing (to prevent medium leakage into the atmosphere). Internal sealing relies on the cooperation between the valve disc and the valve seat, and common sealing surface forms include flat, conical, and spherical. Flat sealing processing is simple, but it is easily affected by impurities under high pressure, leading to sealing failure; Cone sealing has a higher pressure ratio and better sealing effect, suitable for high pressure; Spherical sealing can automatically align and provide more stable sealing performance. The external seal generally adopts a stuffing box structure, which achieves sealing by compressing the packing. The material and filling method of the packing are crucial. For example, flexible graphite packing is resistant to high temperature and high pressure, and is a commonly used choice for high-pressure valves. However, it is necessary to ensure uniform and compact filling, otherwise it is prone to leakage.
操作方式的选择也与工况紧密相关。手动阀门适用于压力较低、操作频率不高的场合,但在高压下,手动操作可能十分费力;电动、气动或液动阀门则通过驱动装置实现远程控制和自动化操作,省力且响应迅速。在高压危险环境中,优先选择电动或气动阀门,不仅操作安全,还能与控制系统联动,实现紧急情况下的快速关闭。不过,驱动装置的可靠性同样重要,需根据工况选择合适的防护等级,避免因潮湿、粉尘等因素导致故障。
The choice of operation mode is also closely related to the working conditions. Manual valves are suitable for situations with low pressure and low operating frequency, but manual operation may be very laborious under high pressure; Electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic valves are remotely controlled and automated through driving devices, saving effort and responding quickly. In high-pressure hazardous environments, electric or pneumatic valves are preferred for safe operation and can be linked with control systems to achieve rapid closure in emergency situations. However, the reliability of the driving device is equally important, and the appropriate protection level should be selected according to the working conditions to avoid faults caused by factors such as humidity and dust.
在高压工况的 “阀门选角” 中,没有万能的 “主角”,只有适配的 “最佳演员”。从材料强度到结构设计,从密封性能到操作方式,每个环节都需精准匹配工况需求。只有这样,才能挑中靠谱的 “守门大将”,让阀门在高压环境中稳如泰山,守护整个管道系统的安全与稳定。
In the "valve selection" under high-pressure conditions, there is no universal "protagonist", only the "best actor" who is suitable. From material strength to structural design, from sealing performance to operation mode, every link needs to be accurately matched with the working condition requirements. Only in this way can we select the reliable "gatekeeper", make the valve as stable as Mount Tai in the high-pressure environment, and protect the safety and stability of the entire pipeline system.
