Valve Application Industries

Engineered for industrial durability, our Carbon Steel Semi-Lug Butterfly Valve features an extended stem design ideal for insulated pipelines. Its high structural strength and thermal adaptability make it the definitive choice for HVAC, oil & gas, and power generation systems where cast iron falls short.

Extended Stem Butterfly Valve

HVAC & District Heating

In large-scale heating and cooling networks, pipelines require thick insulation to prevent energy loss. The purpose-built Extended Stem Butterfly Valve allows the handle or actuator to remain accessible outside the lagging. This design ensures easy operation and maintenance without damaging the thermal insulation layer, critical for energy-efficient district energy loops.

Extended Stem Butterfly Valve

Oil & Gas Pipelines

Midstream oil transport requires valves that withstand higher pressures and mechanical shock than standard cast iron can handle. Constructed from robust Carbon Steel (WCB), our Extended Stem Butterfly Valve offers superior tensile strength and compatibility with fuel oils and crude, ensuring safe, leak-free performance in demanding industrial hydrocarbon environments.

Extended Stem Butterfly Valve

Power Generation

For cooling water systems and low-pressure steam lines in power plants, equipment often faces significant temperature fluctuations. The Extended Stem Butterfly Valve design effectively isolates the actuator gear or pneumatic head from the pipeline's heat, protecting automation components from thermal damage while the carbon steel body maintains structural integrity under pressure.

Extended Stem Butterfly Valve

General Petrochemical

In non-corrosive chemical processing and industrial water treatment, facility managers demand reliability and ease of installation. The semi-lug configuration allows for easier alignment during installation, while the Extended Stem Butterfly Valve provides necessary clearance for lagging or surrounding equipment, making it a versatile solution for complex industrial piping layouts.

Quality & Compliance Certifications

Our commitment to quality is verified by internationally recognized standards. We provide the corresponding documentation to prove it.

Project: Industrial Park Cooling System Upgrade

Region: South America (Logistics Hub) | Application: Chilled Water Distribution Network

Client Profile: "Andes Industrial Solutions" (Alias) – A mid-sized MEP contractor serving logistics warehouses.

The Challenge: The client was retrofitting a cooling network in a humid coastal warehouse. The original specification called for expensive European valves, which threatened the project's profitability. Technically, they faced two issues: 1) The need for heavy anti-sweat insulation (50mm) meant standard valve handles would be buried. 2) They needed material better than Cast Iron to resist coastal corrosion, but couldn't afford Tier-1 Carbon Steel prices.

1. VALUE ENGINEERING (KPI: 30% COST REDUCTION)

The client needed the durability of Carbon Steel (WCB) without the "Brand Premium."

The JRVAL Approach: Leveraging our 20 years of casting expertise and an 81,426㎡ production facility, we produced the WCB bodies in-house. By bypassing intermediate suppliers and unnecessary branding markups, we delivered valves meeting the ASTM A216 WCB material standard at a 30% lower cost than the originally specified brand. This allowed the client to upgrade from Cast Iron to Carbon Steel while staying under budget.

2. SOLVING THE INSULATION HEADACHE (The Extended Stem)

A standard valve neck is too short for chilled water pipes wrapped in thick insulation.

Purpose-Built Extension

We configured the valves with a 100mm Extended Stem. This simple but crucial modification allowed the client to apply the full 50mm insulation thickness around the valve neck without obstructing the actuator. It ensured the vapor barrier remained intact—preventing condensation and pipe corrosion—while keeping the operation gear accessible.

Standardized Parts

We utilized standard ISO mounting pads. This allowed the client to easily mount their preferred local brand of pneumatic actuators later, providing the integration flexibility they needed.

3. PRAGMATIC QUALITY CONTROL & LEAD TIME

We focus on what actually matters for the installation:

  • Flexible Documentation: To further optimize costs, we do not bundle expensive certification fees into the base price. We provided our comprehensive Internal QC Reports (Chemical Composition & Dimensional Check with calibrated vernier calipers) which satisfied the project's engineering supervisor. *Note: EN 10204 3.1 MTC is available as an optional add-on upon request.
  • Reliable Sealing: Utilizing our optimized seat structure, we ensured Bi-Directional Zero Leakage (Bubble Tight) performance, verified by our factory pressure tests prior to shipment.
  • Production Capacity: With 11 dedicated CNC machining centers, we completed the production of 80 units (Sizes DN150 - DN400) in just 5 weeks.

4. AFTER-SALES ASSURANCE (TCO FOCUS)

We understand that for an SME contractor, long-term liability is a concern. We provided:

  • 24-Month Warranty: Covering all manufacturing defects.
  • Remote Technical Support: Direct online access to our engineers for installation guidance.
  • Standardized Spare Parts: Our valves are built to international standards, meaning seals and bearings can be easily sourced and replaced locally after the warranty period, ensuring low long-term maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose WCB Carbon Steel over standard Cast Iron valves?

While Cast Iron is cheaper, it is brittle and prone to cracking under thermal shock or pressure hammers. Our ASTM A216 WCB Carbon Steel bodies offer significantly higher tensile strength and ductility. This makes them the safer, longer-lasting choice for industrial loops and HVAC systems where reliability is paramount.

How does the Extended Stem solve insulation problems?

Standard valves get buried when pipes are wrapped in thermal insulation. Our 100mm Extended Stem lifts the handle/actuator clear of the cladding (up to 50mm+ thick). This ensures the vapor barrier remains intact—preventing condensation and pipe corrosion—while keeping the gear operator fully accessible for your maintenance team.

Do you provide Material Test Certificates (MTC 3.1)?

To help you optimize project costs, we do not bundle expensive certification fees into our base price. We provide comprehensive Internal QC Reports (Chemical Composition & Dimensional Checks) free of charge, which satisfy most commercial applications. If your project strictly requires an EN 10204 3.1 Certificate, we can provide it as an optional add-on upon request.

What is your warranty and spare parts policy?

We stand behind our quality with a 24-Month Warranty. Additionally, because our valves adhere to international ISO/API dimensional standards, you are never "locked in." Seals and bearings are standard sizes, meaning spare parts can be easily sourced from us or any local supplier even years after the warranty expires.

How do you control quality as a source factory?

With 20 years of casting experience and an 81,426㎡ facility, we produce our own castings rather than outsourcing them. This gives us total control over the material integrity from the furnace to the final assembly. We use 11 CNC machining centers and calibrated go/no-go gauges to ensure every valve meets strict dimensional tolerances.

Does the semi-lug design allow for dead-end service?

Yes. Our Semi-Lug design is engineered for reliable dead-end service. It allows your maintenance team to remove downstream piping (e.g., to service a pump) while the valve remains securely bolted to the upstream flange, holding back full system pressure. This significantly reduces system downtime during maintenance cycles.
