Marine Stainless Steel Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve
Marine Stainless Steel Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve is commonly used in marine applications for controlling the flow of liquids, gases, and slurries. These valves are designed to provide reliable performance in harsh marine environments, with resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, thanks to the stainless steel construction.
Overview
Key Features:
Double Eccentric Design:
The "double eccentric" refers to the valve's disc geometry, which is designed so that the axis of the disc’s rotation is offset twice (compared to a single eccentric or conventional butterfly valve).
This design minimizes seat wear and provides a tighter seal with less torque required to operate the valve.
Material:
Typically made from 316 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion from saltwater, harsh chemicals, and other aggressive substances often encountered in marine environments.
Applications:
Ideal for use in marine engine systems, ballast systems, fuel systems, water systems, and ventilation systems on ships.
Can be used in high-pressure or high-temperature conditions depending on the specific design.
Advantages:
Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel offers long-lasting durability in marine environments.
Low Torque Operation: The double eccentric design reduces the mechanical effort needed to operate the valve, making it more efficient.
Tight Shutoff: The valve typically features a high-performance sealing system that ensures a reliable shutoff with minimal leakage.
