Product Description

Overview & Key Benefits

Wafer butterfly valves offer several significant advantages. Firstly, their compact and lightweight design makes them highly space-efficient, ideal for installations where space is limited. Unlike traditional valves, their wafer-style body can be easily sandwiched between two flanges, reducing installation complexity and saving both time and cost.

With a simple structure, small size, and light weight, they are easy to install and save space, making them particularly suitable for the production of large-diameter valves. They feature rapid and labor-saving opening and closing, low fluid resistance, and good regulating performance. When fully open, the flow resistance is minimal, and they can achieve sensitive flow control within an opening angle range of 15° - 70°.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the primary benefits of using a wafer butterfly valve?

Wafer butterfly valves feature an ultra-compact and lightweight body designed to be sandwiched directly between pipe flanges. This design minimizes installation footprint, lowers material costs, and enables rapid assembly compared to bulkier flanged valve types.

When should a soft-sealed valve be chosen over a hard-sealed valve?

Soft-sealed butterfly valves are ideal for standard working conditions handling water, air, light oil, and mildly corrosive media where absolute bubble-tight shutoff is critical. Hard-sealed butterfly valves are engineered for severe conditions involving high temperatures, elevated pressures, and abrasive or erosive media commonly found in smelting and chemical processing.

How effective are butterfly valves for flow throttling and control?

Butterfly valves offer excellent flow regulation capabilities, providing sensitive and proportional control within a disc opening angle of 15° to 70°. When fully opened, the disc profile ensures minimal fluid resistance and low pressure drop across the line.

What is the difference between PN10 and PN16 large-diameter specifications?

PN10 and PN16 indicate nominal pressure ratings (10 bar and 16 bar, respectively). While the basic face-to-face dimensions may align, PN16 models feature reinforced body construction, thicker flange standards, and distinct bolt circle dimensions (PCD) to withstand higher line pressures.

Can these butterfly valves be integrated into automated pipeline systems?

Yes, the valves feature standard top-plate flange mountings (PCD patterns), allowing quick and seamless mounting of pneumatic actuators, electric actuators, and manual gear operators to support remote control and automated facility operations.

What media types are compatible with wafer butterfly valves?

These valves are versatile and compatible with domestic water, firefighting water, industrial circulating water, sewage, ventilation air, fine powders, slurries, and petroleum products depending on liner and disc material selection.
