Install the valve with proper positioning of the flow arrow. Support and align adjacent piping and the vale. Install lubricated flange bolts. Hands tighten, and then torque the bolts using the crossover flange bolt-tightening method to load the bolts evenly, and eliminate concentrated stresses.
[pdf] Scheduled Maintenance Programs: Implementing a scheduled maintenance program is essential for keeping your coal mining equipment in optimal condition. Develop a maintenance schedule that includes routine tasks such as filter replacements, hydraulic system checks, and electrical inspections.
[pdf] Flange end ball valves are widely used in mining due to their ability to provide precise fluid control and tight shutoff in high-pressure mining environments with hydraulic valves.The floating ball mechanism allows the ball to move slightly under pressure, pressing against the downstream seat for a secure seal.
