Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves
Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves
Stainless steel butterfly valve — a type of pipeline fitting with a stainless steel disc, used for regulating the flow of working media (water, food and chemical solutions, emulsions, flowing bulk products).
Ukrainian company "Specialist" offers wafer type stainless steel butterfly valves with diameters ranging from 50 to 350 mm, available both bare with a universal mounting platform for installation of any type of actuator, as well as equipped with handles, gearboxes, electric actuators, pneumatic actuators and positioners.
Advantages of Specialist Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves (Ukraine)
- stock positions available in Dnipro and Lviv
- best price due to direct imports from manufacturer, potential discounts for bulk purchases
- you can purchase a valve with a stainless disc together with all related management and installation components: mounting adapters, adapters, and flanges
- repairability — Specialist stainless steel butterfly valves are all demountable, allowing for repair by replacing worn discs and seals
- our shut-off and control valves catalogue lists all necessary features, dimensions, and includes real photos for easy selection
Materials for Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves
Grades of Stainless Steel for Butterfly Valves
Depending on the pipeline fitting manufacturer, various stainless steel grades can be used, indicating minor differences in their composition and manufacturing method (forging or casting). Generally, they can be divided into those containing molybdenum and those without.
| Type of Steel | AISI (for forged steel) | ASTM (for cast steel) | GOST (DSTU) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel | SS 304 | CF8 | 08Х18Н10 |
| Stainless Steel with Molybdenum | AISI 316 AISI 316L |
CF8M | 08Х17Н13М2 03Х17Н14М2 03Х17Н14М3 |
Introducing 2~3% molybdenum (Mo) into the alloy makes the steel more resistant to corrosion in aggressive environments such as seawater and chloride solutions. SS316 stainless steel valves are more in demand in Ukraine, as water for domestic and industrial use is often treated with chlorine.
Sealing for Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves
The type of rubber inserts is selected based on temperature and a table of chemical compatibility with the working medium. We offer the following types of seals:
- EPDM is a non-toxic synthetic rubber resistant to many acids, alkalis, ozone, alcohols, and steam. Suitable for temperatures from −30 to 95° C.
- PTFE also known as Teflon, has a temperature range from −40 to 160° C. Resistant to almost all oxidants, acids, and alkali solutions (except sodium and potassium alkalis).
- NBR (on order) is a relatively inexpensive material for low temperatures from −20 to 80° C, resistant to hydrocarbons (oils, petroleum products), non-aggressive working media.
- VITON (on order) for temperatures from −20 to 200° C. Has high chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, oxidizers, hydrocarbons.
After selecting the material based on theoretical data, we recommend additionally testing the actual resistance of rubber seals experimentally. This is especially relevant for aggressive environments. You can also consult with our managers before purchase.
Main Characteristics of Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves
DN (Nominal Diameter) in millimetres, chosen during the pipeline design stage. If you are purchasing a valve, you need to know the pipe diameter where it will be installed.
PN (Nominal Pressure in bar), which the butterfly valve can withstand.
| PN10 | 10 bar | 1 MPa |
|---|---|---|
| PN16 | 16 bar | 1.6 MPa |
| PN40 (on order) | 40 bar | 4 MPa |
| PN64 (on order) | 64 bar | 6.4 MPa |
Installation thickness (length) is the space the valve takes up when integrated into the pipeline.
