ABSTRACT

Valves are widely used in process industry as control devices and their sealing property is very important to the routine work of fluid-equipment. In order to improve sealing property of valves, taking the case of floating ball valve, visualization system for valve sealing evaluation was developed based on VB. ANSYS secondary developed by APDL in this system was acted as a background program to analyze the sealing contact of floating ball valve. By extracting calculated results, the system can accomplish the analysis and evaluation of sealing property and predict the leakage rate of valves. It was demonstrated that this system could satisfy the requirement of sealing property analysis and provide guides for the design and production of valves.
