Component Specifications

Definition
The poppet disc is a critical sealing component in poppet valves, typically a flat or slightly curved disc that mates with a corresponding valve seat. It moves axially to open or close the flow path, creating a tight seal when pressed against the seat. This component is essential for precise flow control, pressure regulation, and leak prevention in various industrial fluid systems.
Working Principle
The poppet disc operates on the axial movement principle. When the valve stem lifts the disc away from the seat, fluid flows through the created gap. When the stem lowers the disc against the seat, the mating surfaces create a seal that stops flow. The sealing efficiency depends on surface finish, material compatibility, and applied force.
Materials
Stainless steel (304, 316), brass, aluminum alloys, engineered plastics (PTFE, PEEK), or ceramic composites. Material selection depends on fluid compatibility, temperature range (-40°C to 400°C), pressure requirements (up to 6000 psi), and corrosion resistance needs.

  • Diameter 5-100 mm
  • Hardness HRC 40-60 (metallic)
  • Thickness 1-20 mm
  • Surface Finish Ra 0.4-1.6 μm
  • Pressure Rating Up to 6000 psi
  • Temperature Range -40°C to 400°C
  • Flatness Tolerance ±0.01 mm
Standards
ISO 17292, DIN 3356, ASME B16.34

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a poppet disc?

The primary function is to create a reliable seal against the valve seat to control or stop fluid flow in poppet valves.

How do I select the right material for a poppet disc?

Consider fluid compatibility, operating temperature, pressure requirements, corrosion resistance, and wear characteristics. Common choices include stainless steel for corrosive environments and PTFE for chemical resistance.

What maintenance is required for poppet discs?

Regular inspection for wear, surface damage, or deformation; cleaning to prevent contamination; and replacement when sealing performance degrades beyond acceptable limits.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
