Abstract

As an important part of the Christmas tree, the sealing performance of the flat gate valve is very important, and the O-ring seal is the most commonly used seal in the flat gate valve. Therefore, the research on O-rings is particularly important. For the flat gate valve with a single gate, its structure has gradually developed from a single seat seal to a double seat seal. This article mainly analyzes the sealing principle of the double seat in the ultra-high pressure flat gate valve and the influence of the pre-tightening force of the sealing ring on the sealing effect. Using finite element analysis software, a two-dimensional axisymmetric model of the double valve seat sealing structure was established to study the non-metallic sealing performance of the valve seat. The Mises stress, the maximum contact stress of the sealing surface, and the contact area of the sealing surface of the O-ring seal under different compression ratios are analyzed. The results show that when only the sealing performance and pre-tightening force requirements are considered, an O-ring with a larger wire diameter should be selected as much as possible. When considering the service life of the O-ring seal, the compression rate of the seal ring should not exceed 20%. Therefore, the selected seal ring wire diameter is 3.75mm within the recommended seal ring compression rate range.
