References for the butterfly valves

Did you know that the butterfly valve is universal and a perfect fit for most fluids and gasses? Now you know. SOMAS butterfly valve has a number of advantages, partly as a consequence of the special design of its disc and seat. This is hugely appreciated among our customers in many industry sectors.

Maintenance-free valve is a good match for the shipping industry

One of the major advantages of SOMAS butterfly valves is that they are almost maintenance-free. This is an important feature for the shipping industry, where these valves are used as cargo valves on product tankers.

The absolute strength of the butterfly valve

The strenght of the butterfly valve stems from the design of its component parts. On the surface the valve appears to be of simple construction, but this is the very reason why it can cope so easily with tough applications in extreme conditions.

The metal seat allows the valve to operate at very high temperatures, waste gate valve applications in exhaust gas turbines being one example. The seat is exposed to high surface pressure, making it possible to use the valve with pulp suspensions in concentrations up to 4%. Special materials allow the valve to operate in extremely demanding applications such as steam turbines, with high pressures, high temperatures and rapid shut-off time requirements.
