Avk Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve
(87).webp "Avk Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve - Quiz")
This test is designed to guage your knowledge and understand of the AVK 756 series double eccentric butterfly valve.
- 1.
The double eccentric principle is so named due to...?
- A.
The valve faces being double as far apart as those seen in a concentric valve.
- B.
The valve having a double function sealing system.
- C.
The valve shaft being offset from the centre along 2 axis.
- D.
The lifetime of the AVK valve being double that of most competitors.
Correct Answer
C. The valve shaft being offset from the centre along 2 axis.Explanation
The double eccentric principle is named because the valve shaft is offset from the center along two axes. This means that the valve opens and closes in a way that is not directly in line with the center of the valve, allowing for a more efficient and effective sealing system. This design reduces friction and wear on the valve, resulting in a longer lifetime compared to competitors' valves.Rate this question:

- A.
The valve can be installed in any position: vertical, horizontal or tilting.
- B.
The valve can function as a modulating valve.
- C.
When the valve is fully closed the disc is a few degrees off from being parallel to the valve face.
- D.
The disc face is rounded.
Correct Answer
C. When the valve is fully closed the disc is a few degrees off from being parallel to the valve face.Explanation
The correct answer means that when the valve is fully closed, the disc is not perfectly parallel to the valve face but is tilted by a few degrees. This design feature allows for a tighter seal when the valve is closed, preventing any leakage.Rate this question:

From DN700-1200 the series 756 butterfly valve is available with a flow-through disc design. What is the advantage of the flow-through disc?
- A.
It is ideal for modulation purposes.
- B.
It has a substantially reduced weight.
- C.
It is less sensitive to cavitation and offers lower headloss.
- D.
There are no inherent advantages of flow-through disc: some markets merely require this specification.
Correct Answer
C. It is less sensitive to cavitation and offers lower headloss.Explanation
The flow-through disc design of the series 756 butterfly valve has the advantage of being less sensitive to cavitation and offering lower headloss. This means that it is better able to handle situations where cavitation may occur, such as when there are rapid changes in pressure or flow rate. Additionally, the reduced headloss means that there is less resistance to the flow of fluid through the valve, resulting in improved efficiency.Rate this question:

What is the difference between an IP67 and an IP68 gearbox?
- A.
IP67 is clockwise to open, IP68 is clockwise to close.
- B.
IP67 has a 5 year warranty, IP68 has a 10 year warranty.
- C.
IP67 is made to EN standard, IP68 is made to AWWA standard.
- D.
IP67 is for above ground use, IP68 is for below ground (submerged) use.
Correct Answer
D. IP67 is for above ground use, IP68 is for below ground (submerged) use.Explanation
The difference between an IP67 and an IP68 gearbox is that the IP67 gearbox is designed for above ground use, while the IP68 gearbox is specifically made for below ground or submerged use.

The series 756 butterfly valve is heavier than a gate valve of the same diameter?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false. A butterfly valve is generally lighter than a gate valve of the same diameter. This is because butterfly valves have a simpler design and use less material compared to gate valves. The weight of a valve depends on various factors such as the type of material used, the design, and the size. However, in general, butterfly valves tend to be lighter and more compact than gate valves.Rate this question:

A series 756 butterfly valve has higher headloss than a gate valve of the same diameter.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A butterfly valve typically has a higher headloss compared to a gate valve of the same diameter. This is because the design of a butterfly valve creates more resistance to the flow of fluid, resulting in higher headloss. Gate valves, on the other hand, have a more streamlined design that allows for smoother flow and lower headloss. Therefore, it is true that a series 756 butterfly valve has higher headloss than a gate valve of the same diameter.Rate this question:
