The Metso Neles BW series metal seated high performance butterfly valve with one-piece body design, is designed for both control and tight shut-off applications. Multiple body options makes it particularly well suited for the refining, power, petrochemical and chemical industries.
The BW provides extended operational life in control, tight shut-off and critical applications such as high cycle, high temperature, cryogenic, oxygen and abrasive applications, etc. Rating from ASME 900 to 2500 makes the BW a sound control or shut-off valve in severe service applications.
Excellent on-off capabilities
Uniquely functioning full metal seat design assures tightness over long time periods.
Contact between disc and seat is mechanically induced and does not rely on assistance from differential pressure.
Long term tightness is maintained even in high cycle rate services. Tightness in not compromised by large thermal cycling either.
Low friction and excellent wear resistance.
Lowered operational torque reduces actuator size
Heavy-duty stem and ingenious bearings design extends service life and is insensitive to thermal cycles and impurities.
Excellent flow control capabilities
Good controllability via smoothly rising installed characteristic curve at both very small openings and nearly full Cv positions. Series BW provides very wide rangeability in fairly low pressure drop services.
Good dynamic stability in both flow directions.
Available with a variety of actuators, positioners and accessories for single source responsibility. Mounting face according to ISO 5211.
Abrasion resistant construction
Solid, sturdy all metal seat design is based on metal-to- metal contact. No resilient parts are needed for seating.
Low emissions
The live loaded gland packing is located right after the outer bearing maximizing the tightness. The emissions are well below the international standards.
Furthermore, there are no resilient parts exposed to the medium.
Extremely wide pressure and temperature range
Differential pressure/temperature ratings in accordance with ASME B16.34.
Extremely wide temperature range up to +1150°C / +2100 °F.
Low cost of ownership
Extremely high cycle life minimizes the need for maintenance, and increases Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) value.
Interchangeable seat can be replaced without disassembling the disc and shaft. Seat replacement does not require any adjustment or special tools.
Certified emission and fire safe performance
Emission certified according to industry standard, ISO 15848-1 class B in shut-off applications.
Fire safe certification according to API 607, 6th edition
Certified safety performance
SIL certification to meet IEC61508 requirements
Capable to SIL 3 level
Applications
The BW series butterfly valve is suitable for the following industries and applications.
