Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the main advantage of a "Full Bore" design in a butterfly valve?
A: A full bore design has an internal diameter that matches the pipeline's inner diameter. This minimizes flow restriction, reduces pressure drop, allows for easier cleaning (pigging), and is often preferred for applications requiring high flow efficiency or where line cleaning is necessary. -
Q: Can this JIS F7480 valve be installed in a pipeline system using ANSI flanges?
A: While JIS and ANSI flange standards have different dimensions, our wafer-style valve can often be installed between ANSI flanges using appropriate adapters or by checking specific dimensional compatibility. It's recommended to confirm face-to-face and bolt circle details before installation. -
Q: What media is the 316 stainless steel construction particularly suitable for?
A: 316 stainless steel offers enhanced corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acids, compared to 304 stainless steel. It is well-suited for chemical processing, seawater applications, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and pulp & paper industries. -
Q: What are the available seat material options and how do I choose?
A: Standard seat is PTFE, suitable for a wide temperature range and chemically inert fluids. EPDM is an option for hot water and mild chemicals. NBR is for oils and fuels. Viton (FKM) handles higher temperatures and more aggressive chemicals. Selection depends on fluid type, temperature, and pressure. -
Q: Is this valve suitable for throttling (flow control) applications?
A: While primarily designed for on/off service, this butterfly valve can be used for throttling, especially when paired with a precise actuator (electric or pneumatic). The disc design and seat material influence its throttling characteristics and lifespan. -
Q: What actuation options are available?
A: The valve can be supplied with a manual lever for simple operation, a worm gear operator for higher torque and precise control, or it can be prepared for the direct mounting of pneumatic (double-acting or spring-return) or electric actuators for automated control systems. -
Q: What pressure classes (10K, 16K) are offered, and what do they mean?
A: These are JIS standard pressure ratings. 10K corresponds to a nominal pressure of 10 kgf/cm² (approx. 142 PSI), and 16K corresponds to 16 kgf/cm² (approx. 227 PSI). The choice depends on your system's maximum working pressure. -
Q: Do you offer lug-style versions of this valve?
A: Yes, a lug-style body version is available as an option. Lug-style valves have threaded inserts (lugs) on the valve body, allowing them to be bolted directly to each flange, which can be beneficial for end-of-line service or when one side needs to be disconnected.
