About Butterfly ball valves 304/316

Butterfly ball valves in 304/316 stainless steel are robust quarter-turn valves for flow control, combining the sealing of a ball with the lightweight design of a butterfly, offering superior corrosion resistance (especially 316 with molybdenum) for hygienic, water, food, pharma, and chemical uses, available in wafer/lug styles, with lever or gear actuation, ideal for dependable shut-off in demanding industrial settings.

Key Features & Description

Material: Made from Stainless Steel (SS) 304 (general corrosion resistance) or SS 316 (enhanced resistance, especially to chlorides/marine environments due to molybdenum), providing durability and hygiene.
Mechanism: A rotating disc (butterfly) moves within the valve body, providing quick shut-off (quarter-turn). While often used for flow regulation, they primarily serve as reliable on/off valves.
Design Types:
- Wafer: Fits between pipe flanges.
- Lugged: Has threaded lugs for easier installation/removal and dead-end service.
Actuation: Can be manual (lever, gearbox) or automated (pneumatic, electric) for remote control.
Sealing: Often feature replaceable EPDM or other seals for excellent, long-lasting sealing.
Applications: Water treatment, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemical processing, and marine environments.

304 vs. 316 Stainless Steel

SS 304: Good strength and basic corrosion resistance, common for general industrial use.
SS 316: Superior resistance to corrosion, pitting, and chemicals due to added Molybdenum (M), making it ideal for corrosive or marine conditions, notes Fleyenda Flow, Suraj Metal Corporation
