Application Case Study

Ensuring Manual Isolation Reliability in a Municipal Pump Station Upgrade

Client: A leading system integrator in Malaysia specializing in automated water management solutions.
Project: Supply of 80 large-diameter manual isolation valves for critical pump stations in a municipal water network upgrade.
Product: DN350 - DN600 Gear Operated Carbon Steel Wafer Butterfly Valves (WCB Body, SS316 Disc, EPDM Seat).

The Challenge: Sourcing Reliable, High-Torque Manual Valves

The integrator's primary challenge was sourcing large-diameter manual valves that could guarantee reliable isolation under high head pressure. On a previous project, gear-operated valves from another supplier had failed during commissioning, exhibiting issues like gearbox seizure and stem-to-gearbox connection failure. This created significant operational risks and project delays. The client needed a supplier who could provide a fully integrated and factory-tested valve and gearbox assembly, while still adhering to a project budget that was 25% lower than quotes from major European brands.

The Solution: A Partnership Focused on Integrated Manufacturing

JRVAL was chosen for our ability to control the entire manufacturing process, from casting the valve body to assembling and testing the final gear-operated unit. Our solution focused on mechanical integrity and verifiable performance.

Foundry-Direct Material Control

As a foundry with 20+ years of casting experience, we provided full material traceability. Each valve batch was supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificate (MTC), detailing chemical composition and mechanical properties. Our WCB casting chemistry was consistently in the upper quartile of the ASTM A216 standard, ensuring superior structural integrity for high-pressure applications.

Integrated Design & Assembly for High-Torque Reliability

We treated the valve and gearbox as a single engineered system. Our CNC centers machined the valve stem's drive end and the gearbox's female drive with a tight tolerance of ±0.1mm, eliminating the excessive "play" that leads to shear stress and connection failure under high torque. Each assembled valve underwent a 5-cycle operational torque test at our facility, with results documented to verify smooth operation well below the maximum allowable handwheel effort.

Quantifiable Cost Optimization & Reliable Delivery

Our vertical integration from casting to final assembly allowed us to offer a price point that resulted in a 22% cost saving on the valve procurement budget compared to the initial European quotes. Leveraging our 81,426 m² facility, we organized production to deliver the full 80-unit order in 8 weeks, comfortably meeting the project's 10-week installation deadline.

Robust Design & Comprehensive Warranty

Our valves feature a heavier body design, exceeding standard wall thickness requirements by an average of 10%, providing greater rigidity. The aesthetic finish, including an inlaid stainless steel nameplate, reflected the high-quality standard expected by the end user. We backed our product with a 24-month warranty covering the entire valve and gearbox assembly, and provided online technical support.

"After facing gearbox failures from another supplier, the reliability of JRVAL's assembled units was our top priority. Their valves operated smoothly under pressure, with torque readings consistently 20% below the specified maximum. This wasn't just a component; it was a ready-to-install, reliable isolation solution that mitigated a major project risk for us."

Technical FAQ: Gear Operated Wafer Butterfly Valves

How do you ensure the reliability of the gearbox and its connection to the valve?

We treat the valve and gearbox as a single engineered system, not just assembled parts. Our process ensures maximum reliability through:

  • Precision Fit: The valve stem and gearbox drive are CNC-machined for a tight-tolerance connection, eliminating "play" that can cause failure under high torque.
  • Factory Torque Testing: Every assembled unit undergoes a multi-cycle operational test to verify smooth operation and confirm torque values are well within design limits.
  • Robust Materials: We use high-strength materials for internal gear components to prevent stripping and seizure, even in demanding applications.

 

Why is a gear operator necessary for certain valve sizes?

A gear operator becomes essential when the hydrodynamic forces on the valve disc create an operating torque too high for a standard lever. This typically occurs in:

  • Large Diameters: Generally, valves above DN250 (10 inches) require a gearbox for safe and manageable operation.
  • High-Pressure Service: Increased line pressure directly translates to higher seating and unseating torque.
  • Precision Throttling: The gear mechanism allows for fine, stable adjustments of the disc position for flow control, which is impossible with a lever.

 

How can you guarantee the quality of your WCB carbon steel body?

As a foundry-direct manufacturer, we control quality from the molten metal. Our competitive advantage lies in:

  • Superior Composition: Our ASTM A216 WCB castings consistently meet the upper range of the standard's chemical composition for enhanced durability.
  • Full Traceability: Every valve is supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificate (MTC), providing complete material data.
  • In-house Verification: We conduct Positive Material Identification (PMI) on raw materials and final products.

 

Are your wafer valves compatible with different international flange standards?

Yes. Our wafer butterfly valves feature a universal body design. The body dimensions and alignment holes are precision-machined to fit perfectly between a wide range of flange standards, including ANSI B16.5 Class 150, DIN PN10/PN16, and JIS 10K/16K, ensuring a reliable seal in global projects.

What is your warranty policy for the complete valve and gearbox assembly?

We stand behind our integrated products with a comprehensive 24-month warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for both the valve and the factory-fitted gearbox. Because our valves are built to international standards, consumable parts like seats are easily interchangeable. Our technical team is available online for prompt troubleshooting and support.
