III. Vulcanized Seat Advantages

  1. Superior Bonding

    • Rubber chemically fused to metal carrier, eliminating seal displacement.

  2. Extended Service Life

    • 3× higher extrusion resistance vs. pressed seats (per ISO 1817 aging test).

  3. Thermal Stability

    • Withstands 20,000+ thermal cycles (-30°C ↔ +130°C).

  4. Maintenance Efficiency

    • Seat replaceable in 10 minutes without special tools.


IV. Performance Data

Test Standard Result
Seal Leakage ISO 5208 A 0 bubbles/min (ANSI Class VI)
Cyclic Endurance MSS SP-67 >150,000 cycles (EPDM seat)
Compression Set ASTM D395 ≤15% (70h @ 100°C)
Fire Safety API 607 (Optional) 30-min fire survival

V. Design & Testing

  • Seat Vulcanization Process:

    • Step 1: SS304 carrier grit-blasted for adhesion.

    • Step 2: Rubber compound molded under 180°C/5MPa.

    • Step 3: Post-cure stabilization (48h @ 100°C).

  • Pressure Tests:

    • Shell Test: 2.4 MPa (PN16)

    • Seat Test: 1.76 MPa bidirectional
