SS RUBBER MOULDED BUTTERFLY VALVE SS 316

Features of SS Rubber Moulded Butterfly Valve (SS 316) : 

• Body Material:
• Made from Stainless Steel 316 (SS 316), offering excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and marine environments.
• Disc:
• Typically also made from SS 316, ensuring strength and durability, especially in aggressive or corrosive media.
• Rubber Lining (Seat):
• High-quality rubber moulded lining (EPDM, Nitrile, Viton, etc.) ensures tight sealing and chemical compatibility.
• Permanently bonded to the valve body to prevent shifting or leakage.
• Design:
• Wafer or Lug type mounting design for easy installation between flanges.
• Compact and lightweight compared to other valve types.
• Operation:
• Available with manual lever, gear operator, pneumatic actuator, or electric actuator for versatile control options.
• Pressure Rating:
• Typically rated for PN10/PN16 pressure classes (varies by manufacturer).
• End Connections:
• Wafer-type for clamping between pipe flanges, ensuring secure and leak-free connection.
• Bubble-tight Shutoff:
• Rubber moulded seat provides zero-leakage shutoff when closed.
• Application Versatility:
• Suitable for water, air, oil, chemicals, and light slurry applications.
• Low Torque Operation:
• Design minimizes torque requirement, reducing operational effort and enabling use of smaller actuators.
• Long Service Life:
• Corrosion-resistant materials and robust construction ensure extended durability.
• Maintenance-Friendly:
• Simple design with fewer parts allows easy maintenance and servicing.

Application of uses : 

• Chemical Industries
• Ideal for handling corrosive chemicals and aggressive media due to SS 316 body and disc with compatible rubber linings (EPDM, Nitrile, Viton).
• Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants
• Used for flow control and shutoff in potable water systems, wastewater, and effluent treatment due to corrosion resistance and tight sealing.
• Marine and Offshore Applications
• SS 316 offers excellent resistance to saltwater and harsh marine environments, making it suitable for shipbuilding, seawater piping, and offshore platforms.
• Pharmaceutical and Food Processing
• Hygienic and corrosion-resistant SS 316 material is suitable for clean-in-place (CIP) systems and sanitary fluid handling.
• Oil & Gas Industry
• Handles refined petroleum products, fuel, and lubricants; suitable for low-pressure pipeline systems with chemical exposure.
• HVAC Systems
• Used in chilled water and condenser water pipelines for flow regulation and energy-efficient operation.
• Pulp & Paper Industry
• Suitable for slurry and semi-solid flow control, where rubber lining helps prevent abrasion and leakage.
• Power Plants
• Deployed in auxiliary water circuits and chemical dosing systems due to its durable and maintenance-friendly design.
• Firefighting Systems
• Compatible with water and foam applications where reliable shutoff and corrosion resistance are required.
• Breweries and Beverage Plants
• Used in handling process fluids where cleanliness and material compatibility are essential.
