Precision Gear Operation for Easy Flow ControlThe integrated handwheel and gear-operated mechanism allow users to achieve accurate flow control with minimal effort. This design ensures a smooth operation, making it suitable for systems requiring precise adjustments and low operating torque, thus reducing operator fatigue and system wear over time.
Durable Construction and Superior Corrosion ResistanceManufactured with cast iron, SG iron, or stainless steel, and coated with fusion bonded epoxy and polyamide/epoxy for the body and disc respectively, this butterfly valve resists corrosion effectively. Its robust build increases longevity, especially in demanding environments, while stainless steel stems (AISI 410/SS304) add extra strength.
Leak-Proof, Bidirectional PerformanceThe valve features a bubble-tight shut-off (Class VI) in both flow directions, ensuring complete isolation and preventing leaks even under high pressure. Conforming to rigorous testing standards as per IS 13095, it guarantees safety and reliability for critical applications like fire fighting and chemical processing.
