FAQ's of Double Eccentric Design Offset Disc Wafer Type Butterfly Valve:
Q: How does the double eccentric offset disc design benefit valve performance?
A: The double eccentric offset disc design significantly reduces friction between the disc and seat during operation, minimizing wear and ensuring a longer service life. This design enables bubble-tight shutoff, maintaining reliable and leak-free sealing over repeated cycles.
Q: What are the available actuation methods for this butterfly valve?
A: This valve can be operated manually using a lever or gear, or automatically through pneumatic and electric actuators. The ISO 5211 direct mounting pad allows for easy installation of actuators to suit your control and automation needs within various process applications.
Q: When should you select PTFE, EPDM, or metal seat material for this valve?
A: PTFE seats are best for chemical resistance and high temperatures, EPDM is ideal for water and general non-oily fluids, and metal seats are suited for high-pressure or abrasive services. The choice depends on your media compatibility, operating conditions, and leakage class requirements.
Q: Where can this valve be used and what applications does it serve?
A: This butterfly valve is widely used in water treatment plants, HVAC systems, oil & gas pipelines, chemical and process industries, and power generation facilities across India and globally. Its versatile design accommodates diverse media like water, oil, gas, and chemicals.
Q: What is the process for installation and connection of this wafer type valve?
A: Installation involves placing the wafer valve between flanges following EN, DIN, or ANSI standards, with a port size from DN50 to DN1200 (2" to 48"). The face-to-face dimension conforms to ISO 5752 Series 20, allowing straightforward fitting and reliable sealing between pipeline sections.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this valve in corrosive media?
A: The valve's body and disc are made from corrosion-resistant materials, and coatings like fusion bonded epoxy or polyester further enhance durability. This construction ensures performance and reliability when used with aggressive fluids, minimizing maintenance and replacement frequency.
