Rubber seals are widely used in the valve sealing, for their excellent properties such as waterproof, flame retardant, high temperature resistance, electrical conductivity, wear resistance and oil resistance. Rubber seals, as indispensable fittings for seal valves such as forged bellow seal valves, also meet EU environmental protection standards.

Four main reasons for the aging of rubber seals are as follows:
1. Ultraviolet Light
The high energy of ultraviolet light will damage the rubber seal by initiating and accelerating the oxidation chain reaction process. For those with high gel content, there will be reticular cracks on both sides, so-called "outer layer cracking".

2. Ozone
The chemically active oxygen of ozone is much higher and more destructive. It also breaks the molecular chain of rubber, but the effect of ozone on rubber varies with the deformation of rubber. When Ozone acts on the rubber with deformation (mainly unsaturated rubber), there will be a crack which is straight in the direction of stress, that is, "ozone cracking"; when it acts on a undeformed rubber, only an oxide film is formed on the surface without cracking.

3. Moisture
There are two aspects to the effect of moisture: silicone rubber products are easily destroyed when exposed to humid air or when immersed in water. However, under certain circumstances, moisture does not have a destructive effect on rubber, and even has the effect of delaying aging.

4. Mechanical Stress
Under the repeated action of mechanical stress, the rubber molecular chain will be broken to form free enthalpy, which will initiate the oxidative chain reaction and form a force chemical process. In addition, it is easy to cause ozone cracking under stress.

Ball valves are usually found in controlling the flow of high-weight fluids and gas lines. This is because that these valves don’t reduce the flow weight and limit liquid flow. Ball valves are dominantly put in where the supply pipe’s internal breadth is 6 inches or less.

A ball valve is a valve used to divert the flow. When open, it gives access to the medium and when closed, it cuts off the medium. It is named ball valve because of the ball-shaped disc in its cavity.

They are used in many fields because they are easy to repair and able to bear weight and temperature. Ball valves can withstand to 10,000 pounds per square inch and up to 200 degrees Celsius. Ball valves range from quarter-inch to one foot wide or larger.

Types of Ball Valve

There are various kinds of ball valves. The path of the full-bore valve is as same wide as the pipe the valve appended to. This design prevent the flow being impeded. On the contrast, The reduced-bore valve has opening on the ball that is narrow than the pipe. This makes less water stream. A trunnion mounted valve has a pin holding the ball so it doesn't vibrate. There are three- and four-path valves, too. With these valves, the flow is controlled by the position of the ball.

Efficiency

A Dervos ball valve can offer you the perfect seal. There won’t be any spillages when the ball valve are totally shut-off. Because of its extremely straightforward structure, ball valves are more modest and lighter contrasted with other types of valves. Ball valves owns delicate seals which make it simple. What’s more, comparing with all sorts of valves, ball valves boost the most modest level of liquid safety.

Every heating contractor moving into an empty boiler room ---- This room is usually the size of a small closet ---- must have his piping system outlined in his mind around the type of boiler and heat distribution system he will be installing. One of the main criteria for determining the plumbing configuration is the little check valve.

First, let's look at the three most common types of check valves:lift plunger, swing check, and spring-loaded check valves.

The Lift check valves in intermittent circulation systems are designed to prevent gravity circulation of the heat source when the circulator is in the off position.

The swing check valve allows water to flow in one direction only. It does not prevent gravity circulation. It is mainly used to prevent different circulator consumer circuits from interacting with each other and it eliminates the short circuit problem. Depending on the layout of the system, the water always tries to take the path of least resistance. The swing check valve allows the circulator to deliver water in only one way as the system is designed.

If, however, opposite forces of a second circulator are at times almost equal, pushing against the flow direction of the swing, annoying chattering of the valve will occur with the valve flapper being pushed back and forth rapidly by two opposing pump forces fighting each other.

Bothlift and swing check valves have two disadvantages: they are large and bulky, and can only be installed upright in horizontal piping.

For every flow check valve or spring check valve, a heating contractor needs in a system, he must provide a short horizontal pipe run. This almost always requires additional elbow fittings, increased labor, and use of valuable space.

One solution I have found to be very useful is the spring check valve. Every plumber who installs well systems is familiar with this clever little spring check that will make a heating contractor's day a lot better. It can be installed in any position. Horizontally, vertically, right side up, or upside down. It's very compact, with a 1-inch valve about 2 inches long. It is about half the price of a free check. It is non-ferrous and can be used for heating and plumbing.

It is available both as a directional rotary check valve and as a gravity flow check valve in sizes ranging from 3/8 inch to 3 inches. The spring check valve is particularly useful in installations where piping space is limited (which is not uncommon). The number of check valves required in a particular system can vary. Constant cycle systems essentially eliminate check valves to the point where only spring-loaded check valves are needed between the storage tank and boiler to prevent gravity circulation, and between the boiler and mixing valve to prevent short circuits through the 3-way or 4-way valve.

There is no need for a check valve on the heat distribution side of the mixing valve because the pump never shuts off and the mixing valve completely isolates the boiler from the radiation of the hydraulics during non-heat-demanding conditions. Intermittent cycle systems with multiple zone circulators require a gravity check for each zone. Spring checks have proven to be reliable and effective. Try using one on your next stressful job. They may be just the solution you've been looking for.

As we all know that the valve body like carbon steel (WCB, WCC, LCB, LF2, A105), stainless steel (SS304, SS316, F304L, F316L), hastelloy (Alloy 20) etc., or even in the trim material always use metallic materials.

Most of the corrosion of metallic materials occurs in the atmosphere, which contains corrosive components and corrosive factors such as oxygen, humidity, temperature changes and pollutants. Salt spray corrosion is a common and most destructive atmospheric corrosion.

The salt spray test is divided into two categories, one is the natural environmental exposure test, and the other is the artificial accelerated simulated salt spray environmental test. The artificial simulated salt spray environment test uses a test equipment with a certain volume space, the salt spray test chamber, to artificially use the salt spray environment in the volume space to assess the salt spray corrosion resistance quality of the product.

Compared with the natural environment, the salt concentration of the chloride in the salt spray environment canbe several times or dozens of times that of the salt spray content of the general natural environment, so that the corrosion rate is greatly improved, and the product is subjected to a salt spray test to obtain a result. The time is also greatly shortened. If a product sample is tested in a natural exposure environment, it may take 1 year to corrode, and in a simulated salt spray environment, as long as 24 hours, similar results can be obtained.

Y-type filters are widely utilized across various industrial sectors, including petroleum, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, water treatment, and more. These filters effectively remove impurities and particulate matter from fluids, safeguarding downstream equipment from contamination and damage while enhancing product quality and production efficiency. Here are some specific scenarios where Y-type filters are ideally suited:

1. Industry Applications:

(1) Chemicals and Petrochemicals: In chemical and petrochemical processes, Y-type filters filter weakly corrosive materials such as water, ammonia, oils, hydrocarbons, etc., to eliminate impurities and solid particles, protecting production equipment and enhancing product quality.

(2) Oil and Petrochemical Industry: Used for filtering liquids like crude oil, fuel oil, and lubricants, ensuring smooth equipment operation and improving product purity and quality.

(3) Pharmaceutical Industry: In pharmaceutical production, Y-type filters purify solutions, liquids, and slurries, removing impurities and particles to guarantee product purity and quality.

(4) Food and Beverage Industry: During food processing and beverage production, Y-type filters filter juices, beer, milk, drinking water, etc., eliminating suspended solids, microorganisms, and other contaminants, ensuring product hygiene and safety.

(5) Microelectronics Industry: In microelectronics manufacturing, Y-type filters filter chemical solvents, cleaning solutions, etc., in the semiconductor industry, ensuring product quality and smooth operation of manufacturing equipment.

2. Filtration Needs:

(1) Equipment Protection: When fluids contain solid particles, these can clog or damage critical equipment like pipes, pumps, nozzles, and instruments. Y-type filters effectively block these particles, protecting equipment from damage.

(2) System Reliability Enhancement: By filtering impurities from fluids, Y-type filters improve overall system reliability and stability, reducing failures and downtime caused by contaminants.

3. Applicable Media:

Y-type filters are suitable for various media, including water, oil, gas, and corrosive substances, making them widely applicable in fluid processing across industries.

4. Selection Considerations:

When selecting a Y-type filter, factors such as flow requirements, filtration accuracy, media properties, and working pressure must be considered to ensure the appropriate model and specifications are chosen. Different Y-type filter models (e.g., GL11W threaded stainless steel Y-type filter, GL41H flanged stainless steel Y-type filter) have distinct characteristics and application scopes, requiring selection based on actual needs.

Y-type filters are appropriate when filtering solid particles from fluids in pipeline systems to protect equipment and enhance system reliability. Selection should also consider specific application scenarios and requirements.

Checking if a heat cable (also called heat tape) is working properly is important to prevent freezing pipes or roof ice dams. Here’s how to verify its functionality:

 

1. Visual Inspection

• Check for physical damage (cracks, frayed wires, or burnt spots).

• Look for indicator lights (some heat cables have a small light showing power is on).

2. Touch Test

• For pipes: Feel along the cable (carefully—it shouldn’t be scalding hot). It should be warm to the touch.

• For roofs/gutters: Check if ice is melting where the cable is installed (after it’s been on for a while).

3. Use a Non-Contact Voltage Tester (For Plug-In Cables)

• Turn on the heat cable and hold the tester near the cord or outlet—it should detect voltage if power is flowing.

4. Check with a Multi-meter (For Hardwired or Suspected Faulty Cables)

• Unplug the cable and set the multi-meter to measure resistance (Ohms Ω).

• Touch the probes to the prongs of the plug (for plug-in cables) or the ends of the wires.

  • No reading (infinite resistance) = Broken circuit (cable is dead).

  • Low resistance (e.g., 10–100 Ω) = Likely working.

  • Zero resistance (short circuit) = Faulty.

5. Monitor Temperature with an IR Thermometer

• Point an infrared thermometer at the cable—it should read warmer than the surrounding area.

6. Check the Thermostat (If Applicable)

• Some heat cables have built-in thermostats that only activate below freezing (~38°F or 3°C). Test by cooling the thermostat (e.g., with an ice pack) to see if the cable warms up.

7. Test the GFCI Outlet (If Plugged In)

• Press the "Test" button on the GFCI outlet to ensure it trips, then reset it. If it won’t reset, the cable may have a short.

8. Look for Ice Buildup (For Roof/Gutter Cables)

• If installed on a roof or gutter, the cable should prevent ice dams. If ice persists, the cable may be faulty or poorly installed.

Safety Tips:

• Always unplug the cable before inspecting for damage.

• Never wrap heat cables over themselves—this can cause overheating.

• Replace old or damaged heat cables—they can be a fire hazard.

 

If you’re unsure, consult an electrician or the manufacturer’s guidelines. Let me know if you need help troubleshooting a specific type of heat cable!

 

Roof heating cables, also known as heat tapes or de-icing cables, typically reach temperatures between 100°F to 150°F (38°C to 65°C) when operating. The exact temperature depends on the type and brand of the cable, as well as the specific application (e.g., for gutters, downspouts, or roof edges).

 

• Self-regulating heating cables: These adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature. They generally stay in the lower range (around 100°F to 120°F) and are safer because they reduce the risk of overheating.

• Constant-wattage heating cables: These maintain a consistent temperature and can get hotter, often reaching up to 150°F or more. They require careful installation to avoid overheating or damage to roofing materials.

 

The goal of these cables is to melt ice and snow, not to get excessively hot. Proper installation and use are critical to ensure safety and effectiveness. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid fire hazards or damage to your roof.

 

Key Considerations for Roof Heating Cables:

1. Purpose:

   • Roof heating cables are designed to prevent ice dams, which form when snow melts and refreezes at the edge of a roof. Ice dams can cause water to back up under shingles, leading to leaks and damage.

   • They are also used to keep gutters and downspouts clear of ice blockages.

2. Installation:

   • Cables should be installed in a zigzag pattern along the roof's edge, in gutters, and downspouts to ensure proper coverage.

   • Avoid overlapping the cables, as this can cause overheating.

   • Use clips or brackets designed for roof heating cables to secure them in place without damaging the roof.

3. Energy Efficiency:

   • Self-regulating cables are more energy-efficient because they adjust their heat output based on temperature. They consume less power when it's warmer and more when it's colder.

   • Constant-wattage cables use a consistent amount of energy regardless of conditions, which can lead to higher energy costs.

4. Safety:

   • Ensure the cables are rated for outdoor use and are specifically designed for roofs and gutters.

   • Use a ground-fault circuit interrupter outlet to reduce the risk of electrical hazards.

   • Regularly inspect the cables for damage, such as fraying or exposed wires, and replace them if necessary.

5. Maintenance:

   • Remove debris like leaves and branches from the roof and gutters to prevent blockages and ensure the cables work effectively.

   • Check the cables before winter to ensure they are functioning properly.

6. Temperature Control:

   • Some systems come with thermostats or sensors to automatically turn the cables on when temperatures drop below freezing and off when they rise above freezing. This helps save energy and prevents unnecessary operation.

7. Limitations:

   • Heating cables are not a permanent solution to ice dam problems. Addressing underlying issues, such as poor insulation or ventilation in the attic, is essential for long-term prevention.

By using roof heating cables correctly and maintaining them properly, you can effectively manage ice dams and protect your roof from winter damage. Always consult a professional if you're unsure about installation or maintenance. info@jhheat.com
