  • Ball Butterfly Check Gate Globe Plug Valves Differences Applications Suitability
    ADELAIDE • BRISBANE • PERTH VALVE TYPES There are a large variety of valves and valve configurations to suit all services and conditions; different uses (on/off, control), different fluids (liquid, gas etc; combustible, toxic, corrosive etc) different materials and different pressure and temperature conditions. Valves are for starting or stopping flow, regulating or throttling flow, preventing back flow or relieving and regulating pressure in fluid or gaseous handling applications. Common valve types include: Ball, Butterfly,Check, Diaphragm, Gate, Globe, Knife Gate, Parallel Slide, Pinch, Piston, Plug, Sluice, etc. The following types of valves are used in a variety of applications, these descriptions may provide a basic guideline in the selection of valves. BALL VALVES BUTTERFLY VALVES Because of their excellent operating The butterfly valve derives its name from the characteristics, ball valves are used for the wing-like action of the disc which operates at broadest spectrum of isolation applications and right angles to the flow. It’s main advantage is a are available in a wide range of sizes and seating surface which is not critical. It is materials and are available in full flow and full designed for flow isolation. The disc impinges through conduit. Advantages - quick acting, against a resilient liner to provide bubble straight through flow in either direction, low tightness with low operating torque. Compact pressure drop, bubble tight shut off & operating and with a simple construction, butterfly valves torque, easily actuated. Disadvantages - facilitate easy pipe arrangement. Due to disc, temperature limitations on seating material, long they have slightly reduced flow characteristics. “relative” face to face dimension.

  • Ball Valve Seat/Seal Materials and Service Applications
    APPLICATIONS - VALVE SOFT SEAT/SEAL MATERIALS One of the most important factors affecting shutoff capability is the nature of media being handled. Service life is affected by all of the following factors: - pressure, temperature, degree of pressure fluctuation and thermal fluctuation, type of media, cycling frequency, velocity of media & speed of valve operation. The following seat & seal materials can be used in various valves such as ball, plug, butterfly, needle, etc. BUNA-N (HYCAR or Nitrile) - Buna-N is a general-purpose polymer which has good resistance to oil, water, solvents and hydraulic fluids. It also displays good compression, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength. This material performs extremely well in process areas where paraffin base materials, fatty acids, oils, alcohols or glycerins are present, since it is totally unaffected. It should not be used around high polar solvents (acetones, ketones), chlorinated hydrocarbons, ozone or nitro hydrocarbons. Temperature range is 107°C maximum. Hycar is black in colour and should not be used where discolouration cannot be tolerated. It is regarded as a comparable replacement neoprene. Major differences are: Buna-N has a higher temperature limit; neoprene is more resistant to oils. EPDM - EPDM is a terpolymer elastomer made from ethylene-propylene diene monomer. EPDM has good abrasion and tear resistance and offers excellent chemical resistance to a variety of acids and alkalines. It is susceptible to attacks by oils and is not recommended for applications involving petroleum oils, strong acids, or strong alkalines. EPDM should not be used on compressed air lines. It has exceptionally good weather aging and ozone resistance.
