Ribbed disc improves flow rates

A Tomoe Valve product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jun 13, 2007

The design of the 316SS stainless steel disc enables a thinner disc section to be used in the valve, providing higher CV characteristics over a conventional flat faced disc.

Tomoe has released the 316SS stainless steel disc, developed for use in the 700 series valves.

With its ribbed disc design, the 316SS offers significantly improved flow rates and optimises processing performance within plants.

The design of the new stainless steel disc is based on a disc pattern incorporating a series of ribs on opposing faces of the disk.

This enables a thinner disc section to be used in the valve, providing higher CV characteristics over a conventional flat faced disc.

It also leads to a noticeable reduction in the effects of cavitation by breaking up the flow, which dissipates energy over a greater number of "jet streams".

The discs incorporate all the other features and benefits of the flat faced disc design which is available for applications that require polished discs.

The 316SS stainless steel disc has been specifically developed for the 700 series, offers a broad choice of valves for most processes including water treatment, power generation and HVAC duties.

In addition to the new ribbed design disk, valves in this range also offer abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and high-temperature and high-pressure suitability.
