Our commitment to quality, backed by ISO9001 certification, ensures that every valve meets stringent performance standards, offering our clients a dependable solution for their fluid handling systems.
The core value of this butterfly valve lies in its optimal combination of durability, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. It is an ideal choice for industries requiring a valve that can withstand aggressive media while maintaining a long service life. The wafer design facilitates easy installation and space-saving integration into existing pipelines, making it a versatile component for various system upgrades or new installations.
Detailed Features and Technical Specifications:
- Superior Material Construction: The valve body is crafted from high-grade ductile iron (ASTM A536), providing excellent strength and impact resistance. The disc is made from 316L stainless steel, renowned for its superior corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and other harsh chemicals.
- JIS F7481 Standard Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) F7481, ensuring dimensional accuracy, performance reliability, and interchangeability with other compliant components in the market.
- 10K Pressure Rating: Rated for a pressure class of 10K (equivalent to PN16/Class 150), suitable for a wide range of industrial pressure requirements in water supply, HVAC, chemical processing, and general industrial services.
- Wafer Style Design: The compact wafer-style body is installed between two pipeline flanges using long bolts, eliminating the need for flange nuts on the valve itself. This design saves weight, space, and installation time.
- Bidirectional Sealing: The valve offers effective bidirectional shut-off capability, preventing leakage from either direction when fully closed, which enhances system safety and efficiency.
- Versatile Seat Options: Standard seats are typically PTFE or EPDM, providing excellent sealing and chemical resistance. Other elastomer materials are available upon request to suit specific media temperatures and chemical compatibilities.
- Multiple Actuation Methods: The valve can be operated manually via a lever handle or a gearbox for higher torque applications. It is also designed for easy integration with pneumatic or electric actuators for automated process control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What does the "10K" pressure rating mean?
A: "10K" is a Japanese (JIS) pressure class designation. It is roughly equivalent to PN16 (16 bar) or ANSI Class 150, indicating the valve's maximum allowable pressure at room temperature. -
Q: Can this valve be used for seawater applications?
A: Yes, the 316L stainless steel disc offers good resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, making it suitable for seawater or brackish water applications. However, for prolonged exposure, specific seat material selection is recommended. -
Q: What is the difference between a wafer and a lug-style butterfly valve?
A: A wafer valve is installed between two flanges using long bolts. A lug-style valve has threaded inserts (lugs) on the body, allowing it to be installed using bolts directly into these lugs, providing a potential dead-end service capability which wafer valves generally do not. -
Q: Is the valve suitable for throttling (flow control) applications?
A: While butterfly valves can be used for throttling, their flow characteristics are more linear in the 0-60 degree opening range. For precise control, a characterized disc or specific actuator positioning is recommended. -
Q: What types of actuators can be fitted?
A: The valve is designed with a standardized drive square (e.g., ISO 5211 mounting pad) to accommodate a wide range of pneumatic (double-acting or spring-return) and electric actuators from various manufacturers. -
Q: Are spare parts like seats readily available?
A: Yes, as a manufacturer, we maintain an inventory of standard spare parts, including PTFE and EPDM seat rings. Custom seat materials may have longer lead times. -
Q: What is the typical delivery time for an order?
A: Delivery time depends on order quantity and valve size. Standard sizes are often available from stock or have shorter production cycles. We provide estimated lead times upon receipt of your inquiry. -
Q: Do you offer customization, such as different disc or seat materials?
A: Yes, we offer customization options. Materials like different stainless steel grades (304, 316), special coatings, or alternative elastomer seats (Viton, NBR) can be provided based on your application needs and upon request.
