Features of 6 inch Wafer Type Butterfly Valve
- Unique wave line seat and disc shape reduce the required torque and extend the life of the valve.
- The disc seat is vulcanized to a phenolic backup ring guaranteeing positive control of seating torque while eliminating seat distortion.
- Precision machined 316SS disc with two-piece stem (shaft) construction, enhances the flow capacity of the valve and reduces turbulence.
- Stem utilizes PTFE/graphite bearings with V-type ring seals to prevent leakage.
- The bracket connected with the drive device conforms to ISO5211 standard;
- The stem is designed to meet API 609 requirements with a blowout-resistant design.

The Operation Theory of 6 inch Wafer Type Butterfly Valve
The operation theory of a 6 inch Wafer Type Butterfly Valve involves regulating fluid flow through a rotating disc. This design, akin to Pratt butterfly valve, ensures precise control. Whether it’s a 1 1 2 butterfly valve or 3 in butterfly valve, the principle remains the same: the disc pivots to open or close the flow path, enabling efficient flow management.

Relevant Information about 6 inch Wafer Type Butterfly Valve
- Rotor: The rotor is the part of the valve that rotates to control the flow of fluid. In a butterfly valve, it’s the disc that pivots.
- Stator: The stator is the stationary part of the valve, typically consisting of the valve body and seat. It provides support and creates a sealing surface for the rotor.
- Universal Joint: The universal joint connects the actuator to the valve shaft, allowing for rotational movement. It ensures that the motion from the actuator is accurately transmitted to the valve.
- Shaft Seal: The shaft seal prevents leakage along the valve shaft where it passes through the valve body. It’s crucial for maintaining the integrity of the valve and preventing fluid loss.
- Driving System: The driving system includes the actuator and associated mechanisms that provide the force to operate the valve. It can be manual, pneumatic, or electric, depending on the application requirements.
