Product Overview

The D971X electric wafer butterfly valve combines the proven centerline-disc design of the D71X family with a compact electric actuator, enabling remote on/off control, PLC integration, and automated process sequencing. Six standard variants cover PN10 and PN16 pressure classes with three body material options — gray cast iron (standard), ductile cast iron (intermediate duty), and WCB cast steel (high-pressure service). The Buna-N (NBR) elastomer lining provides reliable bi-directional shutoff against steam, water, petroleum products, weak acids, and alkalis. The electric actuator accepts standard 220 V / 380 V / 24 V DC supply voltages and integrates seamlessly with building management systems, water treatment SCADA, and industrial automation networks. With a compact overall height and a lightweight disc design, the D971X is ideal for remote-operated water distribution, fire protection, HVAC, and process isolation applications.

Model Designation Guide

Model Nominal Pressure Body Material Typical Application
D971X-10 PN10 Gray Cast Iron (HT200) Water distribution, HVAC remote control
D971X-10Q PN10 Ductile Cast Iron (QT450) Elevated mechanical duty, PN10 automation
D971X-10C PN10 WCB Cast Steel Steam, petroleum, mild chemical remote control
D971X-16 PN16 Gray Cast Iron (HT200) Higher-pressure water automation, PN16
D971X-16Q PN16 Ductile Cast Iron (QT450) Higher-duty automated service, PN16
D971X-16C PN16 WCB Cast Steel Steam, petroleum, chemicals, PN16 automation

Key Advantages

Remote On/Off Control
Electric actuator accepts standard 220 V / 380 V / 24 V DC supply and provides open/close feedback signals for PLC, DCS, or SCADA integration without additional positioners.
Compact Vertical Profile
The electric actuator reduces overall height compared to worm-gear models, making the D971X suitable for low-clearance installations in valve pits and equipment skids.
Full NBR Elastomer Lining
The Buna-N rubber seat ring and O-ring provide tight bi-directional shutoff against water, steam (≤135 °C), petroleum, weak acids, and alkalis, with zero leakage at rated conditions.
2Cr13 Stainless Steel Stem
The martensitic stainless steel stem combines corrosion resistance with the high torsional strength needed to operate large-bore discs under differential pressure.
Aluminium Bronze Axis Guide
Self-lubricating aluminium bronze bushings reduce stem friction and wear, lowering operating torque and extending actuator service life in continuous-cycle applications.
Integrated Over-Torque Protection
The electric actuator includes built-in torque limiters and thermal overload protection, preventing disc and seat damage during obstruction or end-of-travel conditions.

Quality Assurance & Testing

Every D971X electric butterfly valve undergoes the following factory acceptance tests before shipment:

  • Shell Pressure Test — hydrostatic test at 1.5×PN to verify body integrity.
  • Seat Leakage Test — air or water test at rated pressure; zero seat leakage required per GB/T 13927 Class VI.
  • Electric Actuator Function Test — full open/close cycle with torque and limit-switch verification under load.
  • Insulation Resistance Test — electrical integrity of motor windings and terminal box checked per manufacturer specification.
  • Dimensional Inspection — face-to-face, flange bolt-circle, and bore dimensions checked against GB/T 12238.
  • Visual & NDT — casting surfaces inspected; critical welds (cast steel models) subject to dye-penetrant examination.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

  • Orientation: D971X valves can be installed in any pipe orientation. Ensure adequate clearance above the actuator for cable entry and manual override handwheel access.
  • Electrical connection: Connect power supply via the actuator terminal box per the wiring diagram. Verify voltage and phase before energising. Install an external isolator switch within sight of the valve.
  • Flange bolts: Use through-bolts to clamp both pipe flanges together through the wafer body. Tighten in a cross pattern.
  • Manual override: The electric actuator includes a declutchable manual handwheel for emergency operation during power loss.
  • Rubber seat inspection: Inspect the NBR seat annually or after prolonged steam service. Replace if cracking, swelling, or permanent deformation is observed.
  • Actuator maintenance: Check actuator lubricant and torque calibration every 12 months or 1,000 cycles, whichever comes first.
