Stainless Steel Wafer Type Butterfly Valve
Product Description
Product Overview
The D71X Stainless Steel Wafer Butterfly Valve is a centrically designed butterfly valve with wafer-type connections, engineered for quick opening/closing and flow regulation. Compact in structure and reliable in sealing, it is widely used in water treatment, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and other industries, particularly suitable for corrosive media or high-purity applications.
Model Breakdown
- D: Butterfly Valve
- 7: Wafer Connection
- 1: Centric Design (Valve Disc Rotates on Central Axis)
- X: Rubber Seat Material (e.g., EPDM, NBR, etc.)
Structure & Materials
- Body/Disc/Stem: High-quality stainless steel (304, 316, or 316L for superior corrosion resistance).
- Seat Ring: Rubber material (default EPDM, temperature range: -20°C~120°C; optional NBR, Fluorocarbon, etc., for specific media).
- Actuation: Manual (lever or gear-operated) or customized pneumatic/electric actuators.
Working Principle
The valve disc rotates 90° via the stem to control fluid flow. The centric design ensures uniform contact between the disc and seat, enabling bidirectional sealing with minimal leakage under low-pressure differentials.
Key Feature
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel + rubber sealing, ideal for acidic/alkaline environments.
- Low Flow Resistance: Full-bore design minimizes pressure loss.
- Lightweight & Durable: Compact structure, 1/3 the weight of gate valves, low maintenance.
- Rapid Operation: 90° rotation for quick manual or automated control.
- Temperature Range: -20°C~180°C (varies with seat material).
Applications
- Water Treatment: Water supply, drainage, firefighting, wastewater systems.
- Industrial Piping: Chemical, petroleum, gas, HVAC.
- Food & Pharma: Sanitary-grade options (polished surfaces), compliant with GMP standards.
Installation & Maintenance
- Installation: Requires matching flanges; tighten bolts symmetrically to avoid seat damage.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect seat wear and stem lubrication; replace seals every 3-5 years (depending on service conditions).
Precautions
- Avoid overpressure or overtemperature to prevent seal failure.
- Install a filter if media contains hard particles.
- Rubber seats are incompatible with strong oxidizers (e.g., concentrated sulfuric acid); select appropriate materials for aggressive media.
Optional Configurations:
- Alternative seat materials (e.g., PTFE for high-temperature resistance).
- Extended stem (for insulated pipelines or special installations).
- Locking devices (to prevent accidental operation).
