Engineered for Diverse Industrial ApplicationsThe CI061B Cast Iron Butterfly Valve is ideal for sectors such as water treatment, HVAC, fire fighting systems, and various process industries. Engineered to ensure dependable isolation and flow control of media like water, oil, gas, air, and steam, it features a versatile wafer type design for easy installation and integration with different pipeline standards.
Reliable Performance with Premium MaterialsBuilt with a cast iron body, stainless steel 316 disc, and shaft materials conforming to AISI 410/431, this valve guarantees long-lasting performance and resistance to corrosion. The fusion bonded epoxy coating prolongs the valve's service life, making it suitable for challenging environments and continuous operation.
Assured Safety and Bubble-Tight SealingThe CI061B valve provides zero leakage (bubble tight) sealing thanks to the high-quality EPDM/NBR seat material and precision engineering, verified by testing standards such as BS EN 12266-1. This ensures safety and reliability in critical systems, while allowing easy inspection, maintenance, and actuator mounting via ISO 5211 top flange.
FAQ's of CI061B Cast Iron Butterfly Valve PN-16 SS316 Disc (Wafer Type):
Q: How is the CI061B Butterfly Valve installed in a piping system?
A: The CI061B butterfly valve is designed with a wafer connection, allowing it to be sandwiched between PN 10/16 or ANSI 150 flanges. Ensure alignment between the valve and flanges before tightening bolts evenly to achieve proper sealing. For specialized cases, a lugged configuration is available upon request.
Q: What are the main benefits of the stainless steel 316 (CF8M) disc and shaft?
A: The use of stainless steel 316 (CF8M) for the disc and stainless steel (AISI 410/431) for the shaft provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring longer service life, especially in aggressive or damp environments like water treatment facilities and process industries.
Q: When should the valve's gearbox operation be chosen over lever operation?
A: Gearbox operation is recommended for larger port sizes (typically above 300 mm) or when frequent fine throttling is required. It allows for smoother, more controlled actuation and reduces operating effort in high-pressure or large-diameter applications.
Q: Where is this valve most effectively used?
A: The CI061B butterfly valve is optimized for water treatment plants, HVAC networks, fire protection systems, and a variety of process industries where reliable flow control and shut-off are vital. It can handle fluids such as water, oil, gas, air, and steam across a wide temperature range.
Q: What standards does this valve comply with for design, face-to-face dimensions, and testing?
A: The valve is designed in accordance with EN 593 and IS 13095, features face-to-face dimensions as per EN 558 Series 20/ISO 5752, and testing follows BS EN 12266-1 or IS 13095 standards, ensuring international compatibility and consistent quality.
Q: How is zero leakage (bubble-tight) achieved in this butterfly valve?
A: Zero leakage is attained through the use of precisely engineered EPDM or NBR seat materials and robust sealing mechanisms. Each valve undergoes rigorous testing per BS EN 12266-1 to ensure bubble-tight performance under rated pressure conditions.
Q: What is the process for actuator mounting on this valve?
A: The valve incorporates a top flange designed to ISO 5211, making it straightforward to mount pneumatic or electric actuators. This feature enables seamless automation and integration into process control systems when manual operation is not sufficient.
