Anti-cavitation butterfly valve
With a nominal diameter of 8” to 60”, the toothed surface of the disc on Kubota’s Model BT-AD Anti-Cavitation Butterfly Valve disperses the flow and divides the vortexes raised around the disc, controlling development of cavitation. All surfaces exposed to water are coated with fusion bonded epoxy to improve cavitation resistant properties and protect the valve in severe service. As the original disc shape disperses flow and prevents cavitations, it achieves a lower noise level than a conventional valve. Kubota Corp.
