Butterfly Valve Wafer Type PN 1.6 | Allarakhu
Butterfly Valve (Wafer Type), PN 1.6 with S.S 304 Disc is a practical flow-control solution for suitable industrial pipeline systems. Its wafer-type construction is designed for installation between compatible flanges and provides a compact arrangement for many piping applications.
The valve combines an S.G. Iron body with a stainless-steel disc and lever-operated mechanism. The two-piece stem arrangement is supported through PTFE or bronze bushes, while the moulded rubber lining provides the seating and sealing interface.

Wafer Type Construction
The wafer construction allows the valve to be positioned between compatible pipeline flanges. This arrangement can be useful in industrial systems where compact installation and practical flow isolation are required.
Before installation, the flange standard, nominal diameter, pressure class, bolt arrangement and available installation space should be checked for compatibility.
S.S. 304 Disc
The stainless-steel disc is the primary rotating flow-control component. It moves within the valve body to regulate or isolate pipeline flow.
S.S. 304 is commonly selected for suitable industrial applications where the material is compatible with the operating medium and service conditions. Actual application suitability should be confirmed according to the fluid, temperature and pressure.
Body and Lining
The valve body is constructed from S.G. Iron. The seating arrangement uses an integrally moulded rubber lining, with EPDM and Nitrile options available for applicable configurations.
The correct lining should be selected according to the pipeline medium, operating temperature and chemical compatibility requirements.
Industrial Applications
This industrial butterfly valve can be considered for suitable applications involving water, oil, air, gases and other compatible media. Selection should always be based on actual pressure, temperature, media and material compatibility.
- Water pipeline systems
- Industrial water distribution
- Process piping systems
- Oil handling systems
- Air pipelines
- Gas handling systems
- Utility pipelines
- Industrial plants
- Infrastructure projects
- General flow isolation applications
Pressure and Temperature Rating
The PN 1.6 configuration has a maximum working pressure of 1.6 MPa and a stated maximum working temperature of 90°C.
The specified shell hydrostatic test pressure is 2.4 MPa, while the seat hydrostatic test pressure is 1.76 MPa.
Operating conditions should remain within the applicable product specifications. The final valve selection should consider the complete service conditions.
Flange Compatibility
The wafer configuration is designed for installation between compatible flange arrangements. Applicable flange standards may include BS 10, DIN, PN flange arrangements, ASA flange arrangements and relevant Indian standards, depending on the selected configuration.
Always verify flange dimensions, pressure class, bolt arrangement and pipeline compatibility before installation.
