A31A Cryogenic High
Performance Butterfly Valve
Description
The Fisher A31A Cryogenic High Performance
Butterfly Valve (HPBV) is designed for extreme
temperature cryogenic services and features a valve
body extension which positions the packing system
and the actuator away from the extreme
temperatures. The NPS 3 through 12 valves feature
a unique one-piece investment cast extension
housing (see figures 1 and 2). The NPS 14 through
24 valves employ a two-piece fabricated extension
housing. The valve also features a metal NOVEX
seal as standard providing tight shutoff, low
operating torques and the rugged durability needed
for cryogenic service.
The A31A Cryogenic HPBV has been developed as
a valve/actuator package with a Double D drive shaft
(standard for NPS 3 through 12) to allow easy, direct
mounting to the Fisher 1035 Rack and Pinion
actuator, eliminating the need for external coupling
systems. Also available are keyed shaft (standard
for NPS 14 through 24) and splined drive shafts to
allow easy mounting to other Fisher actuators.
The A31A Cryogenic HPBV is available in either
flangeless (wafer) or single flange styles, and
S31600 (316 SST) is the standard valve body and
disc material. This valve is offered in full rated
CL150 and CL300 pressure classes.
