Available in 3 models; wafer, lug, and double flange
Soft Seated Butterfly Valve KI-Series
KI-series butterfly valves from Ghibson are soft-seated valves designed for marine applications. They are available in wafer body, lug body, and double flange configurations. This series of valves can also be used in vacuum environments, with a maximum pressure rating of 16 bar.
Designed for marine applications
Suitable for vacuum environments
Soft-seated valves for enhanced sealing
Body rubber seat offered in a variety of materials for compatibility
These soft-seated valves provide a versatile solution for marine applications, offering compatibility with a variety of systems and processes. Soft-seated valves are designed with materials that provide a more flexible and adaptable sealing mechanism.These materials, often rubber or elastomers, conform to irregularities in the sealing surfaces, creating a tighter seal and minimizing leakage and enhances the valve's ability to prevent fluid or gas from escaping, improving overall sealing performance.
The design is optimized for sizes ranging from DN40-800 and have a dual flange design from DN80-600. Max working pressure 16 bar for up to DN600 and 10 bar for DN600-800.
Vacuum Compatibility
These valves are engineered to withstand the challenges posed by vacuum conditions, offering reliable performance without compromising on efficiency. This makes them well-suited for applications where maintaining vacuum integrity is crucial.
A wide range of materials for Body, Disc & Body Rubber Seats
When it comes to choosing the right material for butterfly valves in marine applications, it is crucial to consider the specific demands of the application. Ghibson's KI-series butterfly valves offer a wide range of material options for the body, disc, and body rubber seats to ensure compatibility and reliability.
The diversity in material selection ensures that the KI-series can be tailored to meet the specific demands of different applications within the marine industry.
