Wafer-Type Butterfly Valve (Loose Liner Seat) – Technical Datasheet

Model: D71X-16C-LS
Type: Centerline Design, Wafer-Type
Seat Type: Removable Loose Liner Seat


I. Key Specifications

Parameter Value
Nominal Diameter DN50 ~ DN600
Pressure Rating PN10/16 (Class 150)
Temperature Range -30°C to +120°C (EPDM)
-10°C to +150°C (FKM)
Connection Wafer-Type (EN 1092-1 / ASME B16.5)
Actuation Lever, Gear, Pneumatic (ISO 5211)

II. Material & Construction

Component Material Key Feature
Body Ductile Iron (GGG50) / SS304/316 Powder-Coated RAL 5010
Disc SS304/316 (Electropolished) Flow-Optimized Profile
Stem 17-4PH Stainless Steel (HRC≥35) Double-Sealed Gland Design
Valve Seat Loose Liner Assembly:
– Seal Ring Non-Bonded EPDM/FKM/PTFE Free-Floating in SS304 Cage
– Retainer Precision-Machined SS304 Groove Quick-Lock Retention System
Sealing Mode Dual-Compression (Axial + Radial) Zero-Leakage (ANSI Class VI)

III. Loose Liner Seat Advantages

  1. Ultra-Fast Replacement

    • Seat ring removable without disassembling valve body (5-min maintenance).

  2. Pressure-Adaptive Sealing

    • Medium pressure forces liner outward for self-energizing seal.

  3. Material Flexibility

    • Interchangeable liners (EPDM for water, FKM for chemicals, PTFE for steam).

  4. Damage Resistance

    • Liner floats independently – absorbs pipe strain/vibration.


IV. Performance Data

Test Standard Result
Seat Leakage ISO 5208 A < 0.1 ml/min (air test)
Cycles MSS SP-68 >80,000 (EPDM, PN16)
Extrusion Resistance ASTM D1414 15 MPa burst pressure
Fugitive Emissions ISO 15848-1 Class BH (with live-loaded stem)

V. Seat Installation System

  • Step 1: Remove disc/stem assembly.

  • Step 2: Extract old liner from body groove (no tools required).

  • Step 3: Insert new liner – audible “click” confirms lock.

  • Step 4: Reassemble disc (liner auto-centers during closure).

Note: No adhesive/vulcanization – full reversibility.


VI. Design Standards

Category Standard
Valve Design ISO 10631 / API 609
Face-to-Face EN 558 Series 20
Fire Safety API 607 (Option)
Liner Materials FDA 21 CFR 177 (EPDM/PTFE)

VII. Options

Feature Specification
Liner Materials EPDM (Standard), FKM, PTFE, UHMW-PE
Anti-Static Spring-loaded disc-to-stem contact (ISO 5211)
Cryogenic Service Extended stem (-196°C) + PTFE liner

VIII. Applications

  • Chemical Industry: Frequent media changes (liner swap in <10 min).

  • Power Generation: Cooling tower make-up water (EPDM liner).

  • Mining: Slurry pipelines (replaceable UHMW-PE abrasion liner).

  • Pharma: CIP systems (sanitary PTFE liner).
