ROTARY CONTROL
VALVES
ROTARY CONTROL VALVES - SERIES 63-66
Advanced range of high-capacity butterfly valves.
About Rotary Control Valves
The Rotrol range of high-capacity butterfly valves has been developed to overcome the problems associated with control, cavitation and noise in conventional butterfly valve designs.
This innovative valve performs especially well in severe service applications, where pressure drops tend to be high in the controlling position but where high-capacity throughputs at low pressure drops are also required.
Sizes: 6" to 48" (150mm to 1200mm)
Ratings: ASME 150 to ASME 2500
WHY CHOOSE A ROTROL BUTTERFLY VALVE?
- High flow coefficient.
- Anti-cavitation, low-noise vane design.
- Lighter weight and more compact than a globe valve.
- Superior seat and stem seal integrity.
Features
- Profiled vane with cowls on leading and trailing edges to dissipate energy created by pressure drop across the valve.
- Baffle plates fitted for noise attenuation.
- High rangeability – excellent control between 5° and 90° of opening.
- Operating torque requirements are around half the conventional butterfly valve requirements, requiring smaller more compact actuators.
- Complete range of body materials.
- Temperature range: -196°C to 800°C
Valve Selection Criteria
Series 63: For applications where 100% shut-off (Class VI) is
required in the closed position on liquids or gases and where
control of the flow through the pipeline is required.
Temperature range: -196°C to 235°C.
Pressure drops: up to 100 bar.
Series 64: For applications where only a small leakage (Class IV) is
allowed in the closed position or where an elevated temperature or
arduous service makes a soft seat impractical.
Temperature range: -196°C to 600°C. Higher temperatures can be achieved with guidance from our engineering department.
Pressure drops: up to 100 bar.
Series 65: As Series 63, but with a back-up seat to maintain the integrity of the valve in the event of a fire destroying the soft seat. The metal back-up seat will allow only small leakage in the closed position. The valve will remain operable after a fire until it is safe to remove it and replace the seals.
Series 66: For applications were leakage in the closed position is
not a problem, but where controlling the amount of liquid or gas
through the pipeline is essential. Class II leakage is maintained in
the closed position for temperatures up to 200°C; leakage rates
increase at higher temperatures.
Temperature range: -196°C to 800°C.
Pressure drops: up to 150 bar.
