Aquaseal Max Large-size Fabricated Steel Butterfly Valve

Aquaseal Max is a fabricated steel butterfly valve developed as an ideal alternate for cast iron
butterfly and sluice valves in water distribution systems. The highly reliable valve also finds application
in power plants, utility and fire water lines, and HVAC systems. Customised Aquaseal Max can be
used to handle air, gases and vacuum services. The valve has successfully under gone Proof of Design
(POD) test as per AWWA C 504 and AWWA C 516.

Self-energising Disc Seal
The most unique feature of Aquaseal Max is Autoseal (A), a self-energising
A
disc seal that performs consistently over a wide range of pressures without
B C any adjustment. A retainer ring (B) bolted directly to the disc (C) holds the
resilient Autoseal in place. In closed position, line pressure forces Autoseal
against the body seat (D) to obtain bi-directional bubble-tight sealing.

Benefits of Autoseal
• High integrity sealing, Aquaseal Max is suited for vacuum services
• Lower break torque - Saving in valve automation costs
• Easy to replace at site
Lighter and Stronger Construction
Aquaseal Max body, fabricated from carbon steel plates, has better mechanical and structural
properties compared to a cast iron body of the same size and pressure rating. The body also handles
piping stresses and misalignments better. Being lighter, the valve is easier to handle, and requires less
piping supports, and thus reduces valve installation cost considerably.
Assured Sealing to Atmosphere
Double O-Rings on the shaft provide reliable sealing to atmosphere. Unlike gland packing, this
arrangement does not require any maintenance.
Lower Torque, Longer Life
The shaft is offset from the seat plane to provide uninterrupted seating surface through 360 degrees.
The offset also ensures that disc loses contact with the seat at crack open, and thereby reduces
friction and operating torque.
Maintenance-free Bearings
Self-Lubricated bearings are provided on the shafts.

 Aquaseal Max Large-size Fabricated Steel Butterfly Valve
Aquaseal Max is available in sizes up to 120” (3000 mm) in PN 6, PN 10 and PN 16 pressure ratings.
Since the valves are of welded construction, the valves can be offered in intermediate sizes to suit
customer requirements. Aquaseal Max welding procedures meet ASME Section IX requirements, and
welding is carried out by experienced and qualified welders. All longitudinal welds in the valve are
butt-welded and subjected to 100% radiography. The acceptance criteria for radiographs are as per
ASME Section VIII, Division I.
