Tomoe, a butterfly valves, actuation and control systems company, has launched its new 316SS stainless steel disc. The design of the new stainless steel disc is based on a disc pattern incorporating a series of ribs on opposite and opposing faces of the disc. This enables a thinner disc section to be used in the valve, providing higher CV characteristics over a conventional flat-faced disc. It also leads to a noticeable reduction in the effects of cavitation by breaking up the flow into thinner “jet streams”, which dissipates energy. The 316SS stainless steel disc has been specifically developed for the 700 series, offering a broad choice of valves for most processes including water treatment, power generation and HVAC duties. In addition to the new ribbed design disc, valves in this range also offer abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and high temperature and high pressure suitability.
