Stainless Steel Wafer Butterfly Valves
Product Overview:
The Stainless Steel Wafer Butterfly Valve is designed for reliable performance and durability. It is suitable for various industrial applications. The valve is made from high-quality stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and wear. The wafer-style connection makes installation and maintenance easy. This feature makes the valve a versatile choice for many piping systems.
Stainless Steel Material:
– 304 Stainless Steel:
– Corrosion Resistance: It provides good resistance to oxidation and corrosion. It is ideal for moderate environments, including water, air, and some chemicals. However, it is less effective in highly corrosive or high-chloride environments.
– 316 Stainless Steel:
– Corrosion Resistance: This type offers superior resistance to corrosion. It is particularly effective in chloride-rich environments. It is highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion. It is ideal for marine applications and chemical processing. This ensures a longer service life in aggressive conditions.
Sealing Types:
– Hard Seal:
– Description: This type uses metal-to-metal sealing surfaces. It is ideal for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. It provides a robust and reliable seal with minimal leakage. It is suitable for demanding conditions.
– Soft Seal:
– Description: This type features a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) lining. PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance. It also ensures a tight seal. It is suitable for applications involving corrosive fluids. It enhances sealing performance and reliability.
Wafer Connection Advantages:
– Compact Design: The wafer-style connection allows for a compact and lightweight valve. This makes it ideal for space-constrained applications.
– Ease of Installation: Wafer-style valves can be easily sandwiched between flanges. This simplifies the installation process. It also reduces the need for additional fittings and supports.
– Maintenance Flexibility: The wafer design allows for easy removal of the valve. This makes maintenance or replacement simple without disturbing the existing piping system.
– Leak-Free Operation: The wafer design ensures a secure, leak-free connection between the valve and the piping system. This minimizes the risk of leaks and provides reliable performance.
