R-Series Butterfly  
 

Applications
Resilient Sealed Valves are suitable for isolation and flow control applications and have a proven record for reliability over the past 30 years for applications in hydrocarbon service, seawater cooling systems, offshore, onshore and marine fire mains systems, desalination plants and power plant installations.
The ease and flexibility of material selection enables both simple and arduous applications alike to be within the capability of this valve series.

Design
The valve is a bi-directional tight shut-off device incorporating a resilient seal mechanically retained around the periphery of the valve disc. The seal is available in various types of elastomers, the selection being dependant on the valve duty and working pressure and temperature. The seal seats against a metal face machined into the body of the valve.*Positive shut-off is achieved without excessive interference between seat and seal ensuring maximum seal life and low seating and unseating torques.

*replaceable seatings available as an option.

Technical Description
SOLENT & PRATT, R series valves are of single or double offset geometry design, developed for High Performance, Control and Isolation duties.

They feature either integral body seat, or individual seat, and resilient seal rings (disc mounted), both of which are replaceable items intended to extend the life of the valve. Valves can be supplied without the seal for modulating duty.

The Solent & Pratt, R - series resilient soft seal valves are available in sizes 2" to 84", 150# and 300# classes, in a wide range of castable materials to order.

The valve is bi-directional, giving consistently tight shut-off using seal rings of 'flat' or 'music note' design, dependent upon process pressures. These are replaceable parts. Temperature limitation is dependant on the seal material selected (Nitrile / EPDM / Buna / Viton). The seal can be quickly and easily replaced in the field, no special tools are required.

Valves size 2" - 32" are Lloyds certified firesafe to DoT rule 54 appendix 'D' for use on ships and offshore installations for Firewater Mains Service and Fire Mains Isolation.

It is an ideal product for applications handling - Seawater / Platform firewater systems / Potable water in De-salination plants.

It is available with Gear operator, Electric, Hydraulic or Pneumatic actuators.
