Marine Stainless Steel Flange Butterfly Valve
Marine Stainless Steel Flange Butterfly Valve is commonly used in marine applications for regulating the flow of liquids or gases in piping systems. These valves are designed to be durable, resistant to corrosion, and capable of withstanding the harsh marine environment.
Overview
Applications:
Water and Wastewater Systems: Used in cooling water systems, ballast water systems, and sewage treatment onboard ships.
Fuel and Oil Systems: To regulate the flow of fuel or lubricating oils in marine engine systems.
Ventilation and HVAC Systems: Used in ductwork and ventilation systems for controlling airflow.
Features:
Material: The valve body is made of stainless steel (typically 304 or 316), which provides excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in saltwater conditions.
Flange Connection: The valve is designed with flanged ends that connect securely to the pipes, following specific marine standards. The flange ensures a stable, leak-proof connection.
Butterfly Mechanism: The valve uses a disc (butterfly) that rotates around a shaft to control flow. When the disc is perpendicular to the flow, the valve is closed. When it’s parallel, the valve is open.
Seal Types: The valve often features resilient seals made of rubber or elastomers to prevent leaks when the valve is closed.
