How to test and tune hydraulic valves?

hydraulic Valve comprehensive performance indicators include many, in addition to some items before the Installation only need to check the product calibration, test certificates, it is recommended that the following items should focus on testing and tuning.


(1) the basic error: 20 ~ 10kPa input signal balanced increase or decrease in the input actuator gas chamber (or positioner), measuring the stroke value corresponding to each point, calculated: "signal - stroke" relationship with the theoretical value of the error between the points, the maximum value of which is the basic error. Test points should include at least 0, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of the signal range of these five points, the basic error of the measuring instrument should be limited to the basic error limit of the test valve quarter.


(2) the return difference: test method with 1. In the same input signal on the secret of the maximum difference between the positive and negative stroke is the return difference.


(3) always point deviation: test method the same as 1, the upper limit of the signal (starting point) at the basic error that is the starting point deviation; the lower limit of the signal (end point) at the basic error that is the end point deviation.


(4) leakage: more convenient test medium for room temperature water test pressure according to the A test party test: when the valve differential pressure is less than 350kPa, the experimental pressure according to the 350kPa do, when the valve's working differential pressure is greater than 350kPa according to the permissible differential pressure to do; and the B test party test according to the valve's maximum working differential pressure to do. In the A test party test, air-open valve actuator signal pressure is zero; air-closed valve actuator signal pressure for the upper limit of the input signal; in the B test party test, the actuator signal pressure should be designed for the specified value. Test medium should be in accordance with the specified flow direction into the valve, the valve outlet can be directly connected to the atmosphere or connect the outlet to the atmosphere of the low-pressure loss measurement device to confirm that the valve and downstream of the connecting pipeline is completely filled with media before measuring the leakage.


(5) for the main valve, should also do a strong pressure test.

(6) the matching positioner valve, in the transportation, installation process, it is easy to touch the positioner feedback plate and touch loose gas connector. Therefore, in the installation, put into operation before, should be on-site debugging.
