Interventions on the main XLC 400 valve 

 

    

 

 

In  case  of  malfunctioning    or  defects,    that 
can be found on the main valve, is possible to 
intervene  without    removing    the  product  
from  the  pipeline.  The  defects  can  be  either 
internal and external. 
The 

external  defects

  mainly  concerns  the 

pilot  circuit  and  are  not  related  to  the  main 
body of the XLC 400 control valve. 
The 

internal  defects

  concern  the  mobile 

block,  or  the  deterioration  of  the  internal 
components. 
Problems  can  be  summed  up  in  three 
categories:  
a)  the  valve  is  blocked,  the  mobile  block 
does not move;  
b)  the  mobile  block  moves  but  the  valve 
does  not  react  because  the  diaphragm  is 
damaged. 
c)  the  diaphragm  is  OK  but  the  valve  does 
not close or leakages is reported. 
 
The possible  causes  lead to: 

 

defects  on the diaphragm; 

 

defects  on the movements  of the 
mobile  block; 

 

friction  caused by deposits and 
corrosion; 

 

problems  on the gaskets; 

 

defects  on the sealing seat.
