• Electric Actuated Ductile Iron Lugged & Tapped Butterfly Valve: Designed for easy installation and maintenance, these valves are suitable for applications where secure connections and high performance are required.

Using an electric actuator on a butterfly valve provides several specific advantages:

1. Efficient Operation: Electric actuators offer smooth and consistent operation, which is crucial for the throttling and flow control functions typically handled by butterfly valves​​​​.
2. Enhanced Control: Electric actuators enable precise positioning of the butterfly valve disc, allowing for fine-tuned control of flow rates. This precision is particularly important in applications requiring stable and accurate flow regulation​​.
3. Low Maintenance: Compared to manual or pneumatic options, electric actuators require less maintenance and have fewer moving parts subject to wear and tear, leading to reduced downtime and operational costs​​.
4. Integration with Automation Systems: Electric actuators can be easily integrated with advanced control systems, providing remote monitoring and automation capabilities. This integration enhances overall process efficiency and control​​.

Electric actuated butterfly valves are versatile and used in various applications due to their efficiency and ease of control:

• Municipal Water Systems: Used to control the flow of water in treatment plants and distribution networks, ensuring efficient and reliable water management​​.
• Industrial Processing: Ideal for managing the flow of liquids and gases in manufacturing processes, including chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries​​.
• HVAC Systems: Used to regulate air flow in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, providing efficient temperature and climate control in commercial and industrial buildings​​.
• Food and Beverage Industry: Ensures sanitary and precise control over fluid handling processes, complying with strict health and safety regulations​​.
• Power Generation: Controls the flow of cooling and heating fluids, contributing to the efficient operation of power plants​​.

1. Composition and Properties:
   • Cast Iron: Composed primarily of iron, carbon, and silicon. It is known for its brittleness and is less resistant to impact and pressure.
   • Ductile Iron: Contains additional alloying elements like magnesium, which enhance its ductility and impact resistance. It combines the strength of cast iron with improved flexibility and durability​​​​.
2. Strength and Flexibility:
   • Cast Iron: Suitable for applications with low to moderate pressure and where cost is a significant factor.
   • Ductile Iron: Preferred for higher pressure applications and environments requiring greater mechanical strength and resistance to impact​​.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) lining on a butterfly valve provides a high degree of chemical resistance, making it suitable for handling aggressive and corrosive fluids. Key benefits include:

1. Chemical Resistance: PTFE is inert to most chemicals, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
2. Low Friction: PTFE’s low friction coefficient reduces wear and tear on the valve, extending its service life.
3. Non-Stick Properties: The non-stick nature of PTFE prevents the buildup of materials on the valve surface, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance​​​​.
