PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TECOFI VPE4648-08EP Lug Butterfly Valve, Ductile Iron Disc, PN16, Gearbox
VPE4648-08EP is a Tecofi (France) lug butterfly valve of the VPE lug range: ductile iron EN-GJS-400-15 (GGG40) body, ductile iron EN-GJS-400 (GGG40) disc, Heat EPDM seat, operated by a handwheel gearbox whose ISO 5210 output plate takes multiturn electric actuators. Size range DN350–DN1200, maximum working pressure 16 bar, working temperature -15°C / +130°C (peak -30°C / +150°C).
How does VPE4648-08EP differ from VPE4608-08EP?
VPE4648-08EP has a maximum working pressure of 16 bar (PN16 flanges) while VPE4608-08EP is rated 10 bar (PN10). The body / seat test pressure is 24 / 17.6 bar for VPE4648-08EP and 15 / 11 bar for VPE4608-08EP. Body, disc (ductile iron disc), seat (Heat EPDM), handwheel gearbox and working temperature are the same.
How to read the VPE code (inferred from Tecofi’s datasheets): 44 = wafer, 45 = flanged, 46 = lug; last two digits 08 / 09 = PN10 with ductile iron / stainless disc, 48 / 49 = PN16 with ductile iron / stainless disc; -08 = handwheel gearbox; EP = EPDM seat.
