Product Introduction

Electric Butterfly Valve D971X-16Q Product Description

The electric clamp butterfly valve D971X-16Q is suitable for automatic switching, switching or process control in water supply and drainage, HVAC, fire protection and industrial water systems. Before determining the configuration, a comprehensive judgment should be made based on the composition of the medium, operating temperature, maximum and normal flow rates, pressure before and after the valve, connection standards, operating frequency, and control signals. The model cannot be directly determined based solely on the existing pipe diameter. The following parameters are commonly used configuration ranges, and actual supply should be based on project conditions, technical confirmation forms, and manufacturing drawings.

Structure and working mode

D971X-16Q adopts a center butterfly plate, clamp connection, and rubber soft seal. During operation, the angle stroke electric actuator drives the opening and closing components to change the flow cross-section, achieving cutting, reversing, or adjustment. The actuator should be selected according to the maximum pressure difference, valve stem thrust or output torque, and a reasonable margin should be reserved. When remote feedback, proportional adjustment, or interlocking is required, the control signal, power or gas supply conditions, protection level, action time, and fault safety position should be clearly defined during the ordering stage to avoid inconsistencies between accessory interfaces and on-site control logic.

Caliber pressure and material selection

The commonly used nominal diameter is DN50-DN600, and the pressure rating is PN10/PN16. The valve body material can be selected as ductile iron, and its adaptability needs to be confirmed in combination with the corrosiveness of the medium, temperature cycling, particle content, and external environment. The allowable temperature, pressure difference, and leakage requirements for EPDM or NBR soft seals should be checked synchronously. For pipelines that are prone to crystallization, contain particles, frequently move, or have significant temperature changes, the wear resistance of valve internals, packing structure, support method, and erosion prevention measures should also be confirmed.

Product features and applicable industries

The main features of this product include clamp installation, compact size, and remote switch. After reasonable configuration, it can be used for water supply and drainage, HVAC, fire protection and industrial water systems. When dealing with flammable, explosive, highly corrosive, high-temperature, or toxic media, explosion-proof actuators, locators, solenoid valves, limit switches, and corresponding materials should be selected according to site specifications, and general parameters should not replace special safety reviews.

Installation and Debugging

Before installation, the nameplate, flow direction, connection standard, and sealing surface should be checked, welding slag and hard debris in the pipeline should be removed, and the front and rear pipe sections should be ensured to be concentric. It is forbidden to use valves to forcibly correct pipeline deviations. Maintenance space should be reserved around the actuator, cable entrances should be protected from rainwater backflow, and pneumatic accessories should use clean and dry air sources. The first debugging should be carried out under low-risk conditions to check the fully open and fully closed positions, travel feedback, interlocking logic, sealing condition, and abnormal noise, and then gradually increase to the working pressure.

operation and maintenance

During operation, action time, valve position feedback, leakage, pressure difference, and control signals should be recorded. If the action is slow or the switching is not in place, the power or gas source, wiring, filter pressure reducing valve, locator, and actuator should be checked first, and then the valve stem, valve seat, and seals should be checked. Blindly increasing the driving force is not advisable. Before maintenance, it is necessary to isolate the medium, relieve pressure, and confirm that there is no residual energy; After replacing the seals, conduct strength, sealing, and action tests according to regulations, and keep records of spare parts materials and maintenance.

Q&A on the selection of electric clamp butterfly valve

How to choose a soft sealing ring for D971X-16Q in contact with oil media?

It is necessary to specify the specific oil product, temperature, pressure, and cleaning medium, and verify the compatibility between the valve seat and the seal. Applicability cannot be judged solely based on whether the valve body is made of stainless steel or ductile iron, nor can different rubber materials be directly interchanged.

What dimensions should be checked when installing D971X-16Q between the original pipeline flanges?

It is necessary to verify the matching flange standard, inner diameter, bolt holes, and sealing structure, and check the gap between the butterfly plate and the pipeline or adjacent valve components when fully opened. The same DN cannot replace the verification of installation dimensions.

Will D971X-16Q automatically shut down after a power outage?

The power-off action cannot be determined solely by the name of the electric drive. Ordinary electric actuator cannot default to having automatic valve closing function when power is lost; If the process requires fault closure, the energy storage or other fault safety scheme of the actuator should be confirmed at the time of ordering, and the entire valve interlock verification should be completed.

Order Information List

Suggest providing the composition of the medium, design and operating temperature, maximum and normal pressure, flow range, pipeline standards, operating frequency, control signals, power or gas supply conditions, fail safe location, and environmental protection requirements. Fouten Flow Control (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. will verify the caliber, material, seal, actuator, and accessory combination based on these materials to ensure that the product parameters are consistent with the actual pipeline conditions, and provide traceable basis for subsequent installation and maintenance.
