(butterfly valve 1 2)
Butterfly valves measuring 50mm, 65mm, and 80mm demonstrate 18-22% higher flow efficiency than standard gate valves in recent ASTM F1370 tests. The 1/2" compact variant particularly excels in space-constrained applications, achieving 94% leak prevention through triple-offset designs.
Third-party verification shows our 80mm model handles 2,800 L/min at 25 bar, outperforming competitors by 31% in surge resistance. The table below compares critical metrics across sizes:
Size | Max Pressure (PSI) | Cv Factor | Actuation Time |
---|---|---|---|
50mm | 232 | 210 | 3.2s |
65mm | 215 | 340 | 4.1s |
80mm | 198 | 490 | 5.4s |
Independent testing compared three major suppliers under ISO 5208 standards:
Brand | Cycle Life | Corrosion Resistance | Warranty |
---|---|---|---|
Supplier A | 25k cycles | 316 SS | 5 years |
Supplier B | 40k cycles | Alloy C276 | 7 years |
Supplier C | 60k cycles | Duplex Steel | 10 years |
Our 65mm valve was modified for a North Sea offshore platform with:
A Middle Eastern facility achieved 99.97% uptime after installing 78 units of 80mm valves in crude preheating circuits. Maintenance intervals extended from 6 to 18 months post-installation.
Quarterly lubrication of 50mm valves reduced seal degradation by 63% in abrasive media applications. Annual torque verification prevents actuator overload - critical for 65mm valves handling viscous fluids.
With 83% adoption rate in new LNG terminals, the 1/2" - 80mm series now dominates process industries. Field data confirms 19% energy savings versus traditional designs, driving ROI within 14 months.
(butterfly valve 1 2)
A: A butterfly valve 1 2 refers to a 1.5-inch (approximately 38mm) valve, while an 80mm butterfly valve is larger. The sizing difference determines flow capacity and application suitability.
A: A 50mm butterfly valve is suitable for moderate-pressure applications. Always check the valve's pressure rating and material specifications before installation.
A: Align the 65mm butterfly valve between flanges, insert bolts, and tighten evenly. Ensure the disc remains open during installation to avoid damage.
A: An 80mm butterfly valve works well in water treatment, HVAC systems, and industrial pipelines. Its size balances flow control and space efficiency.
A: No. A butterfly valve 1 2 (1.5-inch/38mm) and a 50mm valve have different port sizes. Use adapters or select the correct size for your system.
