Stainless Steel Flanged Butterfly Valve

I. Overview of Metal Hard-Sealed Butterfly Valves

The metal hard-sealed butterfly valve D343H features a precision "U"-shaped stainless steel sealing ring, which makes three-dimensional eccentric contact with the polished butterfly disc. This design effectively addresses the common issue in traditional eccentric butterfly valves—where the sealing surfaces experience sliding friction even during the critical 0° to 10° opening and closing moments. Instead, the D343H ensures that the sealing surfaces instantly separate as the valve opens and make tight contact only when fully closed, significantly enhancing both durability and sealing performance. As a result, this metal hard-sealed butterfly valve is widely used in pipelines carrying corrosive media such as those found in metallurgy, power generation, petroleum, chemical processing, air, gas, combustible gases, and water supply/drainage systems—provided the medium temperature does not exceed 550°C. It serves as an excellent device for precisely regulating flow rates and reliably shutting off fluid flow. Metal hard-sealed butterfly valves are primarily available in two main types: flanged hard-sealed butterfly valves and lug-type hard-sealed butterfly valves.

1. The metal hard-sealed butterfly valve features a triple-eccentric sealing design, ensuring minimal wear between the valve seat and the disc, while delivering a self-tightening sealing action as it closes further. 2. The sealing ring is made from stainless steel, combining the benefits of both metal hard sealing and elastic sealing. This design guarantees excellent sealing performance—both in low-temperature and high-temperature conditions—while also offering superior corrosion resistance and an exceptionally long service life. 3. The sealing surface of the disc is built using cobalt-based hard alloy overlay welding, providing exceptional wear resistance and significantly extending the valve's operational lifespan. 4. For larger-sized discs, a truss structure is employed, enhancing structural strength, increasing the effective flow area, and minimizing flow resistance. 5. This valve boasts bidirectional sealing capability, allowing for flexible installation without being restricted by the direction of fluid flow or influenced by spatial orientation—it can be installed in any position.

IV. Installation Precautions for Metal Hard-Sealed Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valves feature a simple design, compact size, and lightweight construction, with relatively few components—just a handful of key parts are needed to assemble the valve. They’re also incredibly easy to operate: simply rotate the handle to a 90-degree position to open or close the valve. Moreover, butterfly valves offer excellent control over fluid flow, allowing users to smoothly adjust the flow rate—either increasing or decreasing it as needed. Of course, like any valve, there’s always some resistance when transporting fluids—but for butterfly valves, this resistance primarily stems from the valve itself, such as the thickness of the valve body. If you want to minimize the impact on fluid flow, all you need to do is reduce the valve’s thickness.

Elastic seals, however, have the drawback of being limited by temperature.

Butterfly valves have a wide range of applications. If used to control flow, it’s important to select the appropriate type and size of valve body, as butterfly valves are inherently well-suited for larger-diameter applications. Beyond general industrial settings like oil, gas, chemical processing, and water treatment, butterfly valves are also widely employed in cooling water systems at thermal power plants.

1. During installation, the valve disc must be stopped in the closed position.

2. The opening position should be determined based on the rotation angle of the butterfly plate.

3. For butterfly valves equipped with a bypass valve, the bypass valve should be opened first before proceeding to open the main valve.

4. Installation should be carried out according to the manufacturer's installation instructions. For heavy butterfly valves, a sturdy foundation must be provided.
