Cast Iron Teflon Seated Butterfly Valve — Overview
Krishna Industries (KELOR) supplies the Cast Iron Teflon Seated Butterfly Valve — Wafer Type 150# — a quarter-turn rotary valve designed for ON–OFF flow control and isolation in industrial piping systems. The cast iron body provides mechanical strength for water, chemical, and general industrial service, while the PTFE (Teflon) disc and seat combination delivers chemical resistance against acids, alkalis, salts, and corrosive process fluids that would rapidly degrade standard rubber or elastomer seats. The stainless steel stem provides corrosion resistance at the stem seal area, which is a common failure point on butterfly valves in corrosive environments.
The wafer-type design allows installation between standard ANSI 150# (PN16) pipeline flanges using through-bolts — the valve has no extended flanges of its own, reducing weight, installation space, and bolt count. This makes the wafer butterfly valve the most compact and economical butterfly valve configuration for dead-run piping (piping that is not disassembled for maintenance). KELOR supplies these valves from verified vendor partners with manual lever handles for sizes up to DN150 and gear operators for sizes DN200 and above, with Pan India dispatch from the Ahmedabad warehouse.
How a Wafer Butterfly Valve Works
A butterfly valve uses a circular disc (the butterfly) mounted on a rotating stem at the centre of the valve body. The disc rotates 90 degrees (quarter turn) to open or close the valve. In the fully open position, the disc is parallel to the flow path and the media passes through with minimal obstruction and low pressure drop. In the fully closed position, the disc is perpendicular to the flow and the PTFE seat seals against the disc edge, providing bubble-tight shut-off. The PTFE seat is mechanically retained in the CI body and compresses against the disc when the valve is closed, creating a leak-proof seal.
Open Position
The disc rotates 90 degrees to align parallel with the flow. Media passes through the valve bore with minimal pressure drop. The disc edge is fully clear of the PTFE seat.
Flow Through
In the open position, the wafer body presents minimal obstruction to flow. Pressure drop across a fully open butterfly valve is significantly lower than through a gate valve or globe valve of the same size.
Throttling
Partial rotation (between 0 and 90 degrees) allows flow regulation. The butterfly valve can be used for moderate throttling service, although best practice limits throttling to 30–70% open range to avoid disc flutter and seat damage.
Closed Position
The disc rotates 90 degrees to the fully closed position. The PTFE seat compresses against the disc perimeter, providing bubble-tight shut-off. The quarter-turn operation is fast and repeatable.
Material of Construction
| Component | Material | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Body | Cast Iron (GG25 / FC250) | Provides mechanical strength and rigidity for the pressure boundary. CI is economical and suitable for water, chemical, HVAC, and general industrial service up to 150# / PN16. |
| Disc | PTFE (Teflon) | PTFE disc provides a chemically inert closure element that resists acids, alkalis, salts, and solvents. The disc seats directly against the PTFE seat for bubble-tight shut-off. |
| Seat | PTFE (Teflon) | PTFE seat is mechanically retained in the body bore. Provides chemical resistance and low-friction sealing against the disc. Replaces rubber or elastomer seats where chemical compatibility is required. |
| Stem | Stainless Steel (SS304 / SS316) | SS stem resists corrosion at the stem seal area where moisture and process media contact the stem. Two O-ring stem seals prevent leakage along the stem. |
Why PTFE (Teflon) Seating
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene, commonly known as Teflon) is one of the most chemically inert materials available for valve seating. Unlike rubber or elastomer seats that swell, crack, or degrade when exposed to aggressive chemicals, PTFE maintains its properties across virtually all industrial media. The PTFE seat and disc combination makes this butterfly valve the correct selection for chemical processing, effluent treatment, and any application where the media has properties that would damage standard EPDM, NBR, or Viton seats.
🔬 PTFE Properties Relevant to Valve Seating
- Excellent chemical resistance — virtually inert to all acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents at ambient and moderately elevated temperatures
- Low coefficient of friction — provides smooth disc rotation and low operating torque, reducing wear on the seat and extending service life
- Non-stick surface — process media does not adhere to the PTFE seat or disc, reducing build-up and fouling in slurry or viscous fluid service
- Wide temperature range — PTFE retains sealing properties from -10°C to 120°C in CI body construction
- No ageing or degradation — PTFE does not harden, crack, or deteriorate over time like rubber seats, providing longer service intervals between seat replacement

Applications
Water Treatment Plants
Municipal water treatment, effluent treatment, and demineralisation plants use CI PTFE seated butterfly valves for chemical dosing line isolation, filter backwash control, and process flow regulation where rubber seats may degrade in chlorinated or chemically treated water.
Chemical Processing
Chemical and petrochemical plants use PTFE seated valves for isolation and control of mildly corrosive acids, alkalis, and salt solutions. PTFE’s chemical inertness provides reliable sealing across a wide range of process chemicals at ambient temperature.
HVAC Systems
HVAC chilled water and hot water circuits use CI butterfly valves for flow balancing and isolation. The compact wafer design fits in tight mechanical room layouts. PTFE seats provide long service life without the hardening and cracking that affects EPDM seats over time.
Fire-Fighting & General Industrial
Fire-fighting pump discharge lines, general industrial cooling water, and process piping use CI PTFE seated butterfly valves for reliable ON–OFF isolation. Low torque operation enables quick manual operation during emergency shutdown scenarios.
Wafer vs Lug Type Butterfly Valve
| Parameter | Wafer Type | Lug Type |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Clamped between two flanges with through-bolts | Bolted individually to each flange using tapped lugs |
| Dead-End Service | Not suitable — cannot support one-sided flange removal | Suitable — downstream piping can be removed while valve stays in line |
| Weight | Lighter — no flange lugs on body | Heavier — flange lugs add weight |
| Cost | More economical — simpler body construction | Higher cost — additional lug machining and material |
| Best For | Standard piping, water lines, HVAC, chemical lines where full disassembly is not required | Pump suction/discharge, dead-end isolation, tank connections, and systems requiring periodic downstream maintenance |
Installation Guidelines
A wafer butterfly valve is installed between two pipeline flanges using through-bolts and gaskets. Proper installation is essential for leak-free operation and long service life. The following guidelines apply to all sizes of CI Teflon seated wafer butterfly valves:
🔧 Installation Steps
- Ensure pipeline flanges are parallel, aligned, and clean before installing the valve
- Position the valve between the flanges with the disc in the partially open (15–20% open) position to prevent the disc edges from catching the flange faces during bolt insertion
- Use full-face gaskets on both sides of the valve between the valve body and pipeline flanges
- Insert through-bolts and tighten evenly in a criss-cross pattern — uneven tightening distorts the wafer body and prevents proper seating
- After bolting, rotate the disc to the fully closed position and verify that the disc seats evenly against the PTFE seat all the way around
- Ensure adequate clearance around the valve for lever handle or gear operator swing radius — the lever rotates 90 degrees during operation
- Never use pipe wrenches or leverage on the lever handle to force a stuck disc — this can crack the PTFE seat or damage the stem
