Application temperature of soft sealing butterfly valve
The application temperature of a soft sealing butterfly valve can vary depending on the specific design, materials used, and the manufacturer's specifications. In general, soft sealing butterfly valves are suitable for a wide range of temperatures, but there are limits imposed by the elastomeric sealing materials used in the valve.
Most soft sealing butterfly valves are designed for temperatures within the range of -30°C to 120°C (-22°F to 248°F). However, it's important to note that these temperature limits can vary and may be different for different valve models or manufacturers.
For higher temperature applications, such as those exceeding 120°C (248°F), it is common to use metal-seated butterfly valves or other types of valves with more robust sealing materials, as elastomeric seals may not be suitable for such extreme temperatures.
To determine the specific application temperature range of a soft sealing butterfly valve, it is best to consult the manufacturer's documentation or contact the manufacturer directly. They can provide accurate information about the temperature limits and compatibility of their valves.
