Butterfly valves are one of the common types of valves that are used in different industrial applications. They are used to primarily deliver the function of isolating or controlling the flow of a fluid with its rotating disk.

They come in the family of quarter-turn rotational motion valves. They are often seen to be used in large diameter pipes that work under low pressure. In many water supply applications, butterfly valves are used. Due to their application area and fairly critical functions, they are regarded as an important valve in the industrial sector.

A wide range of industries have a demand for durable and reliable butterfly valves. While there are many varieties of butterfly valves available, a rubber lined butterfly valve is quite prominent in the market.

Here, we have enumerated the top perks of using butterfly valves with rubber lining. Let’s explore.

 

Dutco Tennant LLC supplies Vulcanised Bonded Rubber Lined Butterfly Valves

 

We at Dutco Tennant LLC supply vulcanised bonded rubber lined butterfly valves by Wouter Witzel. They have an extensive range of industry butterfly valve with rubber lining and prolific disc design.

Designed in compliance with the latest international standards and regulations, our butterfly valves are also eco-friendly in nature. They are able to deliver all the perks that a rubber lined butterfly valve delivers.

 

Perks of Rubber Lined Butterfly Valves

 

Good Sealing 

 

With rubber lining in place, the valves get good sealing performance. The presence of robust adhesion between vulcanised rubber and metal.

This can effectively help in preventing medium leakage. Simultaneously, this construction offers good flexibility and resilience which makes them adaptable. Even if there is slight deformation between the valve plate and seat. Provided, the valve is fitted between the sealing surfaces.

 

Wear Resistance

 

The rubber lined butterfly valve durability is increased due to the unique vulcanised bonded liner. It has high strength and toughness that comes in favour of resisting not only wear and impact but erosion of the valve body and plate.

It is common that the nature of media flowing through pipes affects the valves. Whether it is desalinated water or fluids with other foreign presence in them, these elements can cause wear on them. The lining expertly resists it and prolongs the service life of the valve. This makes rubber for water butterfly valve an essential requirement in water-related applications.

 

Corrosion Resistance

 

Corrosion is one of the prime concerns that can overtime diminish butterfly valve performance. In desalination water plants or water treatment facilities, corrosion because of the medium flowing can rust things.

But vulcanised rubber lined valves can withstand the impact of corrosion of metal materials. Therefore, keeping the valve protected and ensuring no disruption in workflow of the valve.The durable butterfly rubber matrix ensures the valves perform reliably in these harsh conditions.

 

Better Temperature Resistance

 

Last but not the least, the rubber lining in butterfly valves also enables good temperature resistance. This means the rubber is able to maintain stability of physical and chemical properties of valves within temperature ranges of unique 40℃ to 150℃.

The rubber lined construct ensures the valves don’t age, deform or crack as a result of temperature fluctuations.The addition of rubber valve liners further boosts reliability in extreme environments.

 

Conclusion

 

The many perks offered by a rubber lined butterfly valve makes them a much better option than others. We at Dutco Tennant have partnered with Wouter Witzel, a company that specialises in valve technology, to distribute their higher performance butterfly valves with vulcanised bonded rubber lining.

FAQ 

 

What is a rubber seated butterfly valve?

A rubber seated butterfly valve is a device that controls or isolates flow of fluids. It has a rubber lining that comes around the valve’s rotating disc offering sealing and performance excellence.

 

What material is butterfly valve lining?

Butterfly valve lining is typically made of elastomeric material like EPDM which offer durability and resistance to various media.

 

What makes a butterfly valve high performance?

A high-performance butterfly valve features advanced sealing, corrosion resistance and prolific designs. The valves ensure reliable operation under high pressure and temperature conditions.

 

What is a lined butterfly valve?

A threaded butterfly valve is a type of valve that has a rubber shield on the inside. This coating improves its seal, waterproofs it, and protects it from water damage as it passes through the valve.



Why do butterfly valves have rubber lining?

The rubber coating ensures a tight valve closure, prevents corrosion and protects against damage. It helps the valve last even in harsh conditions.



Do butterfly valves need a gasket?

Most butterfly valves do not require a new gasket. The rubber valve cover or seat on the valve usually acts as a seal placed between the valve and the pipe.



What does the rubber do in the butterfly valve?

Butterfly valve rubber provides durability, water-proofing, and protects the valve from pressure, temperature changes, or water corrosion
