Butterfly Valve – Lugged – Ductile Iron – Gear Operated – 316 SS Disk – EPDM Seat

Butterfly Valve – Lugged – Ductile Iron – Gear Operated – 316 SS Disk – EPDM Seat

The Butterfly Valve – Lugged – Ductile Iron – Gear Operated – 316 SS Disk – EPDM Seat is a fundamental component in a multitude of industries including HVAC, gas, petrochemical, pulp and paper, water and wastewater treatment, brewing, food processing, mining, textiles, and general industry. Renowned for its compact design and bubble-tight shut-off, this valve also offers exceptional flow regulation capabilities, essential for efficient system management.

Robust Construction and Durability

Constructed from high-strength ductile iron, this butterfly valve is designed to endure the rigours of heavy-duty industrial environments. It has a robust body coated with blue epoxy (FBE) for corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term reliability and service life. The valve’s design allows for less space consumption and provides a weight advantage over other valve types, contributing to cost-efficient system setup and maintenance.

Advanced Operational Features

A gear mechanism for smooth quarter-turn action facilitates Valve operation. A notch plate supports this operational ease and position locks ensuring precise flow control and stability in numerous application settings. The valve’s lugged type fitting, with threaded BSPT drilled bolt holes, allows for secure and versatile installations across different piping systems.

Optimized Fluid Handling

The internal 316 stainless steel disk of the valve, crucial for its operation, is precision-machined to align perfectly with the EPDM seat, enhancing the valve’s effectiveness in preventing leaks and minimising wear. This disk configuration operates perpendicularly to halt or parallel to permit flow, providing efficient operational transitions.

Specifications and Suitability

• Pressure Rating: The valve can handle pressures up to 16 BAR (1600 KPA), making it suitable for high-pressure applications.
• Temperature Range: It operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -15°C to 110°C, accommodating a wide variety of environmental conditions.
• Size Range: Available from 50mm (2”) to 250mm (10”), the valve can be integrated into diverse system sizes for broad application versatility.
• Material: The pinless square drive 420 stainless steel stem offers excellent resistance to corrosion and allows for greater flow capabilities.

This valve meets rigorous industrial demands offering reliability and precision, making it an indispensable tool in any fluid control system. Its comprehensive design and operational features ensure it stands out as a leading solution in the valve market.
