Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How to maintain a grooved end butterfly valve?

A. Maintenance usually involves inspecting and replacing gaskets, lubricating the stem and checking for leaks.

Q. What is the difference between a wafer and a lug-style butterfly valve?

A. A wafer-style valve fits between two pipe flanges, while a lug-style valve has threaded holes for bolts and can be installed in a pipe system with or without flanges.

Q. How do I select the right size of a butterfly valve for my application?

A.

• Identify system requirements: flow rate, pressure, temperature, and fluid type.
• Determine flow characteristics, considering constant or variable flow.
• Ensure compatibility with pipe size to minimise pressure losses.
• Check space constraints for valve installation.
• Account for future system changes or growth.
• Verify material compatibility with fluid and environmental conditions.
• Consider actuation requirements if automation is planned.
