Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between a double eccentric and a concentric butterfly valve?
A: A double eccentric valve has the stem offset from the disc center and the seat center, reducing friction and wear. This design provides tighter shut-off and longer life, especially in high-pressure and high-temperature applications like power plant steam lines. -
Q: Can this valve be used for both steam and water lines?
A: Yes, the API 609 Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve is designed for both steam and water services. However, for steam applications, we recommend metal seats or high-temperature PTFE seats. Please consult our technical team for specific media conditions. -
Q: What is the maximum pressure and temperature this valve can handle?
A: Standard models are rated for Class 150 to Class 600, with temperatures up to +200°C. Custom designs can handle higher temperatures (up to +400°C) with appropriate seat materials. Contact us for your specific requirements. -
Q: Do you offer actuators with the valve?
A: Yes, we can supply manual gearboxes, pneumatic actuators, and electric actuators. We can also integrate with your control system (e.g., 4-20mA, on/off). Please specify your actuator requirements when ordering. -
Q: What certifications do your valves have?
A: Our valves are manufactured under ISO9001 quality management system. They comply with API 609 and ASME B16.34 standards. Additional certifications like fire-safe or NACE can be provided upon request. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for this valve?
A: For standard sizes and materials, lead time is 15-30 working days. Custom orders may take 30-45 working days. We offer expedited shipping for urgent projects. -
Q: Can I get a sample before bulk order?
A: Yes, we accept sample orders. Sample cost and shipping will be discussed based on the size and quantity. For regular customers, sample cost may be refundable. -
Q: How do you ensure the quality of your valves?
A: We perform 100% pressure testing, seat leakage testing, and dimensional inspection per API 598 standards. Material certificates and test reports are provided with each shipment.
