Materials – Garlock Butterfly Valves
Housing materials
It is standard practice that the housings of the Garlock valves and fittings are manufactured from high-quality ductile cast iron (EN-JS 1049). Depending on the intended use, however, other materials, such as cast steel (1.0619) and stainless steel (1.4581) are also available. All housings are manufactured and inspected in accordance with the specification of the pressure equipment directive.
Liner
Depending on the intended use, a selection of lining materials is available. To provide reliable seals, PTFE is available in several versions. All lining materials are manufactured by specialists and inspected comprehensively. Your contact for Garlock products will be happy to assist you in selecting the suitable material.
Disc
The disc is also available in different materials depending on application. All discs are manufactured by specialists and inspected comprehensively.
Marking
Each valve is tagged with a stainless steel plate. All information such as dimension, serial number, type, materials, operating pressure and temperature, flange connection and certification are engraved.
