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?
-
It is ideal for modulation purposes.
-
It has a substantially reduced weight.
-
It is less sensitive to cavitation and offers lower headloss.
-
There are no inherent advantages of flow-through disc: some markets merely require this specification.
Correct Answer
A. 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?
-
IP67 is clockwise to open, IP68 is clockwise to close.
-
IP67 has a 5 year warranty, IP68 has a 10 year warranty.
-
IP67 is made to EN standard, IP68 is made to AWWA standard.
-
IP67 is for above ground use, IP68 is for below ground (submerged) use.
Correct Answer
A. 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. This means that the IP68 gearbox has a higher level of protection against water and dust ingress compared to the IP67 gearbox, making it suitable for use in environments where it may be exposed to water or submerged in water.Rate this question:

The series 756 butterfly valve is heavier than a gate valve of the same diameter?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. 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.
-
True
-
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:
