Do You Know Tire Sensor Valve？(one)

As the only part of the vehicle that in contact with the ground, the importance of the tires to the safety of the vehicle is well-known. Many driver will buy the best tire pressure monitoring system to make sure their tires work well and prevent potential danger caused by tire. But for a tire, apart from several parts of the construction that formed a solid internal structure, have you ever thought about the small tire sensor valve also plays a significant role in driving safety. If you don't know much about the tire valve and valve stem sensor, do not worry, we'll talk to you about it now.

 

 

What Is Tire Valve?

Tire valve is an independent valve device that allows the gas to enter the space of an inner tire (tubeless tire), and then automatically closes and seals to preserve the gas so that  produce air pressure to prevent the gas from escaping from the tire or inner tire. Nowadays, the tires used in cars are non-internal-cilia tires, the structure of the tire valve and tires are separated from each other, the valve is usually installed on the wheel ring. Although the tire valve is small, it can be divided into several parts in structural, and each part also has its own role. For example, tpms valve has a tpms valve core to ensure the gas successfully be injected into the tire and prevent gas from leaking the tire. Thus valve is an important part of tire sensor. The fastening nut is to make the valve more secure with the ring, this function can be known by its name. At the meanwhile, two different materials will help the  fastening nuts to be more fasten.

 

 

Different Materials Of Valves

As different metal materials used in all aspects of automobile parts, the pressure sensor valve is no longer just made of rubber material as before, metal material has been widely used in the valve making. In the current market, rubber, steel, aluminum alloy are the three most common materials of the valve.As the most common valve material, the lower cost makes the rubber valve widely assembled on the original wheel ring. Also, its later replacement costs is very low, thus lower the tpms valve replacement cost, too. However, due to the inevitable aging of the rubber material, the rubber valve will gradually crack, deform and lose elasticity. When the vehicle is moving, the rubber valve will also swing back and forth with the centrifugal force, which will make the rubber aging faster. Generally speaking, the life of a rubber valve nozzle is 3-4 years, which is similar to that of the tire, so it is recommended to replace the rubber valve nozzle together when changing the tire. Different materials of valve also have obvious differences in their own weight, and their weight will have a certain impact on the vehicle’s dynamic balance. After weighing, the total weight of 4 rubber valve is about 70 gram.

 

 

Leaning the valve can help the drivers to know better about their car’s tire and tire pressure monitory system.
