Select qualified 316L stainless steel round bar as the main blank for the valve body. Perform spectral composition analysis to confirm chemical elements comply with 316L material standards. Conduct sampling tests of hardness, tensile strength, elongation, together with ultrasonic non-destructive testing to check internal shrinkage holes, inclusions and hidden cracks. Visually inspect the bar surface for scratches, pitting and folding defects. Archive batch number, test data and supplier information to realize full traceability. Auxiliary components including valve stem, PTFE packing, front ferrule, back ferrule and black knurled handwheel are arranged for separate incoming inspection before production.
2.CNC Precision Machining:
Clamp the certified 316L bar on CNC lathe and machining center. Complete rough turning and finish turning of the valve body blank, precisely machine double ferrule connecting ports, internal flow channel, valve cavity and valve seat sealing groove according to drawing tolerance requirements. Process the conical sealing tip and threaded section of the valve stem. Strictly control the surface roughness of the sealing contact area to lay a solid foundation for reliable sealing. Remove cutting chips and perform preliminary deburring after all machining steps are completed.
3.Sealing Surface Lapping & Internal Deburring:
Match the valve stem cone and valve seat sealing surface, and carry out precision lapping with fine abrasive paste. The lapped sealing pair achieves high fitting tightness to prevent medium leakage under 6000PSI high pressure working conditions. Thoroughly clean all internal runners, ferrule mounting seats and thread grooves to eliminate tiny burrs, lapping residues and metal scraps, which avoids scratching the sealing surface and ferrules during assembly.
4.Ultrasonic Cleaning & Dust-free Assembly:
Put all machined metal parts into the ultrasonic cleaning tank with neutral degreasing solution to fully remove cutting fluid, polishing paste and fine metal dust. Rinse repeatedly with purified water and dry completely by clean hot air. Assemble front ferrule, back ferrule, valve stem, packing, gland and black knurled handwheel sequentially in a low-dust workstation. Adjust the compression of packing properly to realize reliable stem sealing while ensuring flexible handwheel rotation and stable flow regulation.
5.Pressure Performance & Functional Test:
Conduct shell hydrostatic strength test and seat tightness test under the rated 6000PSI working pressure, and keep pressure for the specified holding time. Inspect leakage at double ferrule joints, threaded connections and packing area. Repeatedly test opening-closing stroke and adjusting feel. Rework or isolate unqualified valves with leakage, jamming or unstable regulation. After passing the pressure test, use laser marking to print model PZ19.2M-1/4", pressure rating 6000PSI and material 316L on the valve body.
6.Final Inspection & Packaging:
Carry out comprehensive final inspection, including dimensional tolerance, ferrule thread integrity, sealing surface condition, marking clarity, handwheel operation smoothness and internal channel cleanliness. Install blue plastic thread protective caps on all ferrule connection ports to protect threads and sealing cones. Wrap the finished straight double ferrule needle valve with anti-corrosion protective film, place it into a sealed bag with desiccant, then pack into export cartons or wooden cases for moisture-proof and shock-resistant transportation.
