Product catalog summary
Overview: The SOMAS butterfly valve, type VSS, is engineered for control, on/off, and shut-off applications, suitable for a variety of liquids, gases, and steam over a wide temperature range. It features a triple eccentric design with a solid stainless steel seat for durability against high flow velocities and temperatures.
Specifications:
  • Nominal Pressure: PN 10 - 25
  • Nominal Size: DN 80 - 1200
  • Material: Stainless steel
  • Temperature Range: Up to 350°C (662°F), with options for up to 550°C (1022°F)
  • Tightness Class: EN 60534-4 Class V standard, PTFE seat option for Class VI
Design Features:
  • Triple eccentric design for enhanced performance
  • Replaceable seat in alternative materials
  • Available in wafer and lugged designs
  • Factory tested with actuators, positioners, and accessories
Flow Characteristics: Defined by liquid pressure recovery factor (FL) and pipe geometry factor (FP), consistent across all sizes.
Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Depend on shaft material, with specific recommendations for temperatures above 150°C.
Actuators and Accessories: Compatible with manual, on/off, or control actuators. Accessories like positioners and limit switches are available.
Installation and Maintenance: Designed for easy installation between flanges, compatible with various standards including ASME. Proper gaskets are necessary for correct pressure application.
Additional Information: Refer to SOMAS catalogue sections 4, 5, and 6, and data sheets Si-204 and Si-205 for further technical details.
Mounting Specifications: Gaskets should comply with EN 1514-1 for PN 10-25 and ASME B 16.21 RF for Class 150, ensuring the inside diameter does not exceed specified dimensions.
Temperature Ratings: Range from 150°C to 550°C, depending on material and configuration.
Ordering Information: Specify valve type, actuator, positioner, and accessories. SOMAS may make improvements without notice.
Valve Specification System: Details on seat materials, shaft materials, and valve body materials with maximum temperatures. Includes options like PTFE (10% carbon), hard chromed, and HiCo coated materials.
Design Variants: Standard VSS valve for flange mounting, also available in lugged design. Includes options for nominal pressure, material for valve body, disc, seat, shaft, and stuffing box.

Datasheet Butterfly valve Type VSS Wafer design Nominal pressure PN 10 - 25 Nominal size DN 80 - 1200 Material Stainless steel triple • Advanceddesign eccentric • Designed for control and shut-off applications • Designed forup to applications 350° C (662 °F) • Tightness class inEN accordance with 60534-4 Class V as standard made • Solid seatsteel of stainless • Wafer design (Mounted between flanges) alt. lugged design • PTFE-seat • High temperature applications up to 550° C (1022 °F) SOMAS butterfly valves, type VSS is used as a control, on/off and shut-off valve. The VSS valve is designed to handle a wide range of liquids, gases and steam within a broad temperature range. The valves have an advanced triple eccentric design including a unique shape of the disc allows the use of a solid stainless steel seat. The solid seat remains unaffected by high flow velocities and temperatures. A good valve function is achieved even on difficult applications. The seat is replaceable in alternative materials. The VSS valve can be mounted between flanges and is also supplied in lugged design. The SOMAS valves are delivered ready for installation and operation. The valve assemblies are delivered factory tested as complete units with actuators, positioners and accessories.

Flange standard Further technical information SOMAS butterfly valve type VSS in this data sheet is of wafer type for mounting between flanges PN 10-25. Technical data for the materials used in the SOMAS valves, flange standard, steam data, etc. can be found in section 6 of the SOMAS catalogue. The valve can also be delivered in lugged design. See also data sheet Si-205, that shows butterfly valve type MTV (DN 80–500). For valves with pressure class PN 50, see data sheet Si-204. The valve can also be drilled for mounting be­ ween t flanges according to ASME. When ordering, please always state...
