A retainer ring for a valve is a fastener used to hold components, such as a valve seat, stem, or disc, securely in place within the valve's body. They act as a shoulder to prevent parts from moving out of position due to pressure, vibration, or other operational forces.
Function and features
Secures internal components: Retainer rings provide axial retention, which is crucial for preventing the axial movement of a valve's internal parts, especially on rotating shafts.
Ensures tight shutoff: In certain valve designs, such as butterfly valves, a seat retainer ring ensures the correct compression of the valve seat against the disc, which is necessary for a bubble-tight shutoff.
Vibration and load absorption: The rings help absorb operational vibration and withstand axial loading, which increases the overall efficiency and durability of the valve.
Cost and size reduction: Using a retainer ring can simplify a valve's design and assembly, reducing the need for more complex machining processes like drilling or tapping. This can decrease production costs, weight, and the overall size of the valve.
Corrosion resistance: In demanding industrial settings, such as oil and gas, the rings are made from special alloys like stainless steel, Duplex steels, or Inconel to withstand harsh, corrosive environments.
