Product Selection Differences for Vulcanised Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Lined Carbon Steel Butterfly Valves

When selecting Vulcanised EPDM lined carbon steel butterfly valves, several key differences can influence your decision. Here are some factors to consider:

  1. Materials:

    • Quality of the carbon steel used: Ensure the carbon steel is of high quality to withstand the operating conditions and resist corrosion.
    • EPDM liner quality: Look for EPDM liners that are vulcanized and of high quality to ensure durability and to prevent leakage.

  2. Pressure and Temperature Rating:

    • Ensure that the valves you are considering can handle the specific pressure and temperature requirements of your application.
    • Check the temperature range of the EPDM liner to ensure it is compatible with the process fluid.

  3. Size and Configuration:

    • Select the appropriate size of the valve based on the flow requirements of your system.
    • Consider the configuration (wafer, lug, or flanged) that best suits your installation and maintenance needs.

  4. Performance Features:

    • Look for features such as low torque operation, bubble-tight shut-off, and minimal pressure drop to ensure efficient performance.
    • Consider if the valve has an ISO top mounting for easy actuator installation.

  5. Compliance and Certifications:

    • Ensure that the valves meet industry standards and certifications such as API, ANSI, ISO, and ASTM for quality assurance and reliability.

  6. Manufacturer Reputation:

    • Choose valves from reputable manufacturers known for their quality, reliability, and customer support.

  7. Price and Warranty:

    • Compare prices from different suppliers while considering the overall value, including warranty terms and after-sales support.

By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision when selecting Vulcanised EPDM lined carbon steel butterfly valves for your application.
