IntroductionThe document discusses the Bray/McCannalok Series 40 high-performance
butterfly valves, designed for high-pressure, high-temperature, and zero leakage applications. These valves are available in wafer and lug body styles, suitable for sizes ranging from 2 1/2" to 54" (65-1400mm) and ANSI Class ratings of 150, 300, and 600.
Specifications
The Series 40 valves feature a double offset stem and disc design for reduced seat wear and bidirectional, zero leakage shut-off. Constructed from materials like carbon steel or stainless steel, the valves operate within a temperature range of -20°F to 500°F (-29°C to 260°C).
Design and Features
The valves incorporate a patented seat design with a resilient energizer encapsulated by an RTFE seat, ensuring superior sealing and extended service life. Additional features include an internal travel stop, a blow-out proof stem, and an adjustable stem packing system.
Fire Safe Design
Available with bidirectional fire-safe seats for specific sizes and classes, the Series 40 valves meet international fire-test standards, ensuring reliable control of flammable and hazardous fluids.
Applications
These valves are suitable for various applications, including corrosive chemicals, steam, dry chlorine, sea water, and more. They are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping for specific uses.
Customization and Options
Bray offers customization options, including different seat and body materials and special trims, to meet specific application requirements.
Conclusion
The Bray/McCannalok Series 40 valves offer high performance, reliability, and versatility for demanding industrial applications, complying with stringent safety standards.
