Is it necessary to consider the pressure, temperature, medium and other requirements of the piping system when selecting and installing air valve fittings?

When selecting and installing air valve fittings, it is indeed necessary to fully consider the pressure, temperature, medium and other requirements of the pipeline system. These factors are crucial for ensuring the normal operation of air valve components, extending their service life, and ensuring the overall safety of pipeline systems.
Firstly, the pressure of the pipeline system is one of the key factors that must be considered when selecting air valve fittings. Different air valve fittings have different pressure bearing capacities, and suitable fittings must be selected based on the actual working pressure of the pipeline system. If the selected air valve fittings have insufficient pressure bearing capacity, it may cause valve leakage or damage, thereby affecting the normal operation of the pipeline system.
Secondly, the temperature of the pipeline system is also an important factor that cannot be ignored when selecting air valve fittings. Both high and low temperature environments may have an impact on the material and performance of air valve components. For example, in high-temperature environments, valves made of certain materials may experience deformation or seal failure; In low-temperature environments, valves made of certain materials may become more brittle and prone to rupture. Therefore, when selecting air valve fittings, it is necessary to choose the appropriate material and model based on the actual working temperature of the pipeline system.
In addition, the properties of the medium in the pipeline system are also one of the factors that must be considered when selecting air valve fittings. The corrosiveness, viscosity, toxicity, flammability, and explosiveness of the medium all have an impact on the selection of air valve components. For example, for corrosive media, it is necessary to choose valve materials with corrosion resistance; For flammable and explosive media, it is necessary to choose valve types with explosion-proof performance.
