Superior Flow Control with Our High-Performance Butterfly Valves
Engineered for precision, efficiency, and reliability, our Butterfly Valves offer an unparalleled solution for diverse flow control applications across various industries. Designed for quick shut-off, regulation, and isolation of fluids, gases, and slurries, these valves combine compact design with robust performance.
Whether you need a simple on/off function or modulated flow, our comprehensive range of butterfly valves provides the flexibility and durability your system demands.
Key Features & Benefits
- Efficient Operation: Featuring a quarter-turn rotation, our butterfly valves allow for rapid opening and closing, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing cycle times.
- Compact & Lightweight Design: With a significantly shorter face-to-face dimension and lighter weight compared to other valve types, they require less installation space and support, reducing overall system weight and costs.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide array of media, including water, air, oil, gas, chemical solutions, and abrasive slurries. Available in various material combinations to meet specific process requirements.
- Low Pressure Drop: When fully open, the disc presents minimal resistance to flow, resulting in very low pressure drop and reduced energy consumption for pumping.
- Robust & Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality materials, ensuring excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and temperature fluctuations, leading to a long service life and minimal maintenance.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Offering a high value-to-cost ratio, butterfly valves are generally more economical for larger pipe sizes compared to ball or gate valves, both in initial purchase and installation.
- Leak-Tight Sealing: Soft-seated designs provide bubble-tight shut-off, while advanced triple offset metal-seated designs offer superior sealing performance in high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
Technical Specifications
Our Butterfly Valves are available with a wide range of configurations to match your specific operational needs:
1. Body Types:
- Wafer Type: Fits between two flanges, suitable for bidirectional flow and easy installation/removal.
- Lug Type: Features threaded inserts (lugs) for bolting into a pipeline, allowing for dead-end service without needing a flange on the downstream side.
- Flanged Type: With integral flanges for direct bolting to pipe flanges.
- U-Type/Double Flanged: Often used for larger sizes or specific process requirements.
2. Design Options:
- Concentric (Resilient Seated): Standard design with the stem, disc, and body seat all concentric. Ideal for general-purpose applications.
- Double Offset (High Performance): Stem offset from the disc center and body center, reducing seat wear and allowing higher pressure ratings.
- Triple Offset (Metal Seated): An additional offset in the sealing surface creates a camming action, providing a true metal-to-metal seal and making it suitable for critical, high-temperature, and abrasive applications.
3. Material Construction:
- Body Materials: Cast Iron, Ductile Iron (DI), Carbon Steel (WCB), Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316, SS316L), Aluminum Bronze, PVC, UPVC.
- Disc Materials: Ductile Iron (Nickel Plated), Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316, SS316L), Aluminum Bronze, Hastelloy, PTFE Coated.
- Seat Materials: EPDM, NBR (Buna-N), PTFE, Viton (FKM), Hypalon, Metal (for triple offset).
- Stem Materials: Stainless Steel (SS410, SS431, SS304, SS316).
4. Actuation Options:
- Manual: Lever-operated (for smaller sizes) or Gearbox-operated (for larger sizes or higher torque requirements).
- Automated:
- Pneumatic Actuators: Double-acting or spring-return for quick, reliable automation.
- Electric Actuators: For precise control and remote operation, available with various control options (on/off, modulating).
5. Performance Data:
- Size Range: DN50 (NPS 2") up to DN1200 (NPS 48") and larger upon request.
- Pressure Ratings: PN10, PN16, PN25, ANSI Class 150, Class 300.
- Temperature Range: -30°C to +200°C (depending on materials and design).
- Design Standards: API 609, EN 593, ASME B16.34, ISO 5752.
- Testing Standards: API 598, EN 12266-1.
