FIBV1 Ceramic Butterfly Valve
KOWOV manufactures the FIBV1 ceramic inflatable butterfly valve for gas-solid media such as cement, fly ash, silica sand and battery powders. Its expandable seat sits away from the stem axis, so the seat can expand around the disc and be replaced without removing the stem assembly
- Size range
- DN50-400
- Pressure rating
- PN10-16 / Class 150
- Temperature range
- -40 to 160 °C
- Leakage
- No visible leakage (GB/T 26480 test)
Design and construction
No rotational wear between the ceramic disc and the rubber valve seat
Pneumatic-driven, with low torque requirements and lightweight accessories for easy maintenance
Ceramic disc is highly wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and non-polluting
Design and performance
Reliable sealing under particle-rich and clean operation requirements
Easy maintenance with rapid seat replacement and low actuation torque
Operating conditions
Suitable for gas-solid particle media where high sealing performance and cleanliness are critical
Temperature range: -40 to 160 °C
Pressure rating: PN10-16 / Class 150
Size range: DN50-400
Leakage: no visible leakage when tested in accordance with GB/T 26480; each valve is supplied to the shutoff class specified in the order
