General Overview
FRD672TC Pneumatic Wafer Type Ceramic Lined Butterfly Valves are designed for the harshest control environments, offering excellent resistance to cavitation—a major challenge for process control valves. High-performance ceramic materials are applied to the most critical areas of the disc. These materials are 6-8 times harder than stainless steel, ensuring reliable operation in abrasive service environments.
Key Features
Wafer type design: Light weight and easy to install.
High-performance ceramics: Disc sealing ring and seat utilize 99% Alumina, Zirconia, or Tungsten carbide.
Chemical Resistance: Ceramics are nearly universally resistant to chemical corrosion.
Extended Service Life: Significantly outlasts common butterfly valves in abrasive conditions.
Control Versatility: Easy to implement remote or local pneumatic control.
Fail-safe Options: Single acting cylinders allow for automatic turn-off/on during air break conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why choose ceramic lining over stainless steel?
A: Ceramic materials used in these valves are 6-8 times harder than stainless steel, providing superior resistance to abrasion and cavitation in harsh environments.
Q: What media are these valves suitable for?
A: They are specifically designed for abrasive slurries such as ash slurry, mining slag, quartz sand, and metallurgical dust.
Q: Can these valves be operated manually?
A: Yes, the technical specifications support both pneumatic and manual operating types depending on your site requirements.
Q: What standards do these valves comply with?
A: Our valves meet international standards including GB/T13927 and API598 for pressure testing, and ASME B16.10 for face-to-face dimensions.
Q: What happens if the air supply fails?
A: By using a single-acting pneumatic cylinder, the valve can be configured to automatically open or close during an air break to ensure process safety.
Q: Is the color of the valve customizable?
A: Yes, the valve body colors can be customized according to specific client requirements or site standards.
