- Resilient Seated Gate Valves (GS Series): Non-rising stem design, available in various sizes and pressure classes, with special coating options.
- Metal Seated Gate Valves (GM and GR Series): Available in non-rising and rising stem designs for different applications.
- Check Valves (SC and AC Series): Includes swing and axial check valves with silent operation options.
- Air Release Valves (AR, AV, AD, AS Series): Designed for single and double chamber functions, suitable for sewage applications.
- Fire Hydrants and Gate Valves: UL and FM approved, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
- Y-Type Strainers and Accessories: Various options available to complement valve installations.
The document provides detailed specifications, including dimensions, materials, and applicable standards for various valve types, emphasizing design flexibility and adherence to international standards.
The document outlines various valve types, including swing check valves, axial check valves, air release valves, vacuum valves, combination air valves, sewage air valves, fire hydrants, gate valves, Y-type strainers, dismantling joints, flange adaptors, and flexible couplings. Each valve type is described with its application standards, pressure classes, testing standards, and material specifications.
For swing check valves, a dashpot mechanism prevents water hammer by ensuring complete closure under all operating conditions. Limit switches can indicate valve position, and the guided disc ensures reliability and sealing.
Valves conform to international standards such as EN 1074-3, AWWA C512, and EN 12266-1. Pressure classes range from PN 10 to PN 40, with some valves adhering to ASME standards.
Valves should be installed according to manufacturer guidelines for optimal performance. Special coatings, such as epoxy for potable water, are available upon request.
- Axial Check Valves: Silent operation with minimal pressure loss due to globe design.
- Air Release Valves: Prevent pipeline bursts and reduce energy consumption by managing air pockets.
- Combination Air Valves: Offer triple functions including air intake and discharge.
- Sewage Air Valves: Designed to prevent plugging and ensure separation of liquid from the sealing mechanism.
- Fire Hydrants and Gate Valves: Available in various sizes with components made from ductile iron, bronze, and stainless steel.
- Y-Type Strainers: Allow easy cleaning and low pressure loss with various mesh sizes available.
- Dismantling Joints: Facilitate maintenance and accommodate longitudinal adjustments.
Detailed dimensions are provided for each valve type, with materials including ductile iron, stainless steel, bronze, and various polymers. Coatings and special materials are available on demand.
Valves are designed for easy maintenance with features like removable covers and adjustable components. Dismantling joints and flange adaptors allow for quick modifications and repairs.
Pneumatic actuators provide high stem force output suitable for demanding service conditions, available for both quarter-turn and linear valves, with options for double acting or single acting (fail-safe) configurations.
Hydraulic actuators use hydraulic power to facilitate mechanical operations, offering linear, rotary, or oscillatory motion. They can exert large forces due to the incompressibility of liquids, though they have limited acceleration.
Electro-pneumatic, electro-hydraulic, and manual override actuators are among the specialized solutions offered.
Flange dimensions are provided for various standards including ISO PN 10, 16, 25, 40, and ANSI Class 150 and 300. The dimensions cover a range of DN sizes and include specifications for øg, øK, øD, b, F, and ødxn.
All products undergo strict testing to ensure quality. The standard hydraulic test follows EN 12266-1. The shell test ensures valve body pressure resistance, with a test pressure of 1.5 times the maximum allowable pressure. The seat tightness test checks seat conformity with a test pressure of 1.1 times the maximum allowable pressure. Acceptance criteria for leakage rates are based on product reference standards.
FAMAT offers a full range of valves for water systems, including pressure/flow control valves, discharge valves, and other on/off valves like needle, multijet, submerged, ball, spherical, and gate valves.
Information about the global sales network and service centers is provided, with a reference to the IPI Group.
