How To Judge Whether The Stainless Steel Ball Valve Should Be Replaced

To determine whether Flanged Ball Valve needs to be replaced, the following aspects can be considered:

Appearance inspection: Check whether the appearance of the stainless steel ball valve is obviously damaged, deformed, rusted, etc. If so, it may need to be replaced.

Operation inspection: Manually operate the stainless steel ball valve to observe whether there is sticking, air leakage, etc. If the operation is not smooth or there is leakage, it may need to be replaced.

Leakage inspection: Check whether the stainless steel ball valve has leakage, especially whether it leaks in the closed state. If so, the seal or the entire stainless steel ball valve may need to be replaced.

Performance inspection: Check the working performance of the stainless steel ball valve, such as whether it can be completely closed and opened, whether it can withstand the rated pressure, etc. If the performance does not meet the requirements, it may need to be replaced.

Service life: Evaluate whether the stainless steel ball valve needs to be replaced based on its design life and service time. Generally, stainless steel ball valves that exceed their design life should be considered for replacement.
