Stainless Steel Lug Butterfly Valve
Product Overview:
The Stainless Steel Lug Butterfly Valve is designed for durability and reliable performance in various industrial applications. This valve features a lug-style connection. It provides several benefits, including ease of installation and maintenance. The valve is made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring long-term resistance to corrosion and wear.
Stainless Steel Material:
– 304 Stainless Steel:
– Corrosion Resistance: Offers good resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Suitable for moderate environments such as water, air, and some chemicals. Less effective in highly corrosive or high-chloride environments.
– 316 Stainless Steel:
– Corrosion Resistance: Provides superior resistance to corrosion, particularly against chloride environments. Highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion. Ideal for marine applications and chemical processing. Ensures a longer service life in aggressive conditions.
Sealing Types:
– Hard Seal:
– Description: Utilizes metal-to-metal sealing surfaces. Ideal for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. Provides a robust, reliable seal with minimal leakage. Suitable for demanding conditions.
– Soft Seal:
– Description: Features a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) lining. PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance and a tight seal. Suitable for applications involving corrosive fluids. Enhances sealing performance and reliability.
Lug Connection Advantages:
– Easy Installation: Lug-style connections simplify the installation process. The valve can be easily bolted between two flanged pipe sections. This allows for quick and secure assembly.
– Maintenance Flexibility: Lug connections allow for the easy removal of the valve for maintenance or replacement. This can be done without disturbing the existing piping system.
– Leak-Free Operation: The lug design ensures a secure, leak-free connection between the valve and piping system. It reduces the risk of leaks.
– Alignment and Stability: Lug connections help maintain proper alignment of the valve with the piping system. This minimizes stress on the valve and enhances operational stability.
Execution Standards:
– Design and Manufacturing Standards: The Stainless Steel Lug Butterfly Valve is designed and manufactured according to international standards. These include:
– ISO 5211: Standard for actuator mounting. Ensures compatibility with various actuators and ease of installation.
– API 609: Standard for butterfly valves. Covers design, performance, and testing requirements.
– EN 593: European standard specifying the requirements for metal-bodied butterfly valves.
– ASME B16.34: Standard for valves. Includes design, materials, and testing requirements for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
Application Conditions:
– Media Compatibility: Suitable for handling various media such as water, air, gas, steam, and chemicals. The materials and construction ensure compatibility with a wide range of substances.
– Working Conditions: Designed for medium to high pressure environments. Operates effectively over a broad temperature range. Maintains reliable performance under challenging conditions.
Summary:
