Butterfly Valves

Among those produced by GTM Process Valves Sp. z o. o. industrial products include, among others, wafer butterfly valves. It is used to regulate and cut off the water flow. The wafer butterfly valve is therefore a basic element of every pipeline, thanks to which proper water flow is possible. The offered wafer butterfly valves can be controlled both manually and mechanically – using an electric or pneumatic actuator.

Butterfly Valves – characteristics

The main element of the wafer butterfly valve is the disc – it is responsible for shutting off the flow of water. GTM Process Valves Sp. z o.o. offers butterfly valves with discs made of ductile iron and stainless steel or carbon steel. The valve is distinguished by several features, with the most important being:

• Compact design,
• Easy installation,
• Lightweight construction,
• High-quality craftsmanship,
• Universality and functionality.

Because the offerings include wafer butterfly valves differing in materials, sealing, or temperature range, it’s possible to tailor the product to the needs of a particular piping system.

Application of the wafer butterfly valve

Primarily, the wafer butterfly valve, as the main type of valve in piping systems, has a wide range of applications. It is used in water transportation systems – for cold, hot, mineralized water, etc. Additionally, the wafer butterfly valve is used for transporting sewage and is employed in water treatment plants and sewage treatment facilities. However, these aren’t the only applications. The valve can also be used in many other industrial sectors, including the brewing, fuel, metallurgical, and construction industries. The wafer butterfly valve is used for regulating the flow not only of water but also of much more aggressive substances, including alcohols, oils, acids, and crude oil.

The product range also includes wafer butterfly valves designed not only for water but also for steam, air, and other gaseous agents. Such valves will primarily be used in air conditioning systems, district heating, in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Their construction has been adapted specifically for handling such systems.
