Pneumatic butterfly valve type 240 FC PVC-U PN10

  Datasheet.pdf

The Georg Fischer Type 240 FC pneumatically actuated butterfly valve in unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) is engineered for automated fluid isolation and modulating control across industrial piping networks. Operating on a fail-closed (FC) spring-return mechanism, this automated assembly guarantees reliable default shut-off during compressed air supply disruptions or system power failures. Designed around a high-efficiency wafer valve geometry, the Type 240 provides exceptional flow characteristics, minimal head loss, and outstanding chemical resistance against aggressive acids, alkalis, and saline media commonly transported in water treatment, chemical dosing, and industrial utility installations.

Manufactured to strict industrial standards, this valve features an overall face-to-face laying length conforming to EN 558 and ISO 5752 series. The integrated actuator delivers a calibrated 90 degrees rotation control range, ensuring smooth quarter-turn travel and precise disc positioning across all operating pressures up to 10 bar (PN10) at 20 degrees Celsius. Its universal wafer mounting pattern aligns smoothly between industrial backing flanges, accommodating standard piping connections per ISO 7005 PN 10, EN 1092 PN 10, DIN 2501 PN 10, ANSI/ASME B 16.5 Class 150, and JIS B 2220. The robust pneumatic actuator housing provides excellent mechanical protection against harsh ambient conditions, maintaining repeatable cycle times and extended service life.

As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies the Type 240 FC pneumatic butterfly valve across Europe for professional plant construction and process piping projects. The valve is configured across diameters from d63 mm up to d315 mm, offering complete compatibility with metric solvent-cemented industrial systems.
