Why Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel is more than a material choice — it’s a promise of corrosion resistance and robust performance. In industries where aggressive media, steam, or wide temperature swings are everyday challenges, a stainless valve maintains its integrity and keeps your process running. Combined with premium seat materials like RPTFE or metal seats such as INCONEL 718, it delivers reliability where others fall short.

Where It Excels
This valve shines in environments like chemical processing, water treatment, power generation, and beyond — basically anywhere a reliable shut-off and control solution is critical. What makes it particularly effective is the reduction of seal wear thanks to the double offset design. Less friction means fewer maintenance cycles and more uptime for your systems.
Wrap-Up
For engineering teams and procurement specialists seeking a durable, high-performance solution, the double eccentric stainless steel butterfly valve offers lasting value. Its thoughtful design, certified performance, and adaptability make it a smart choice across industries and geographies.
Frequently Asked Questions – Butterfly Valves
- Fergo Butterfly Valves – Standard wafer and lug butterfly valves (AK200/AK201) in ductile iron GGG40 with stainless steel disc, available in EPDM, NBR, FKM/FPM, and PTFE seat materials, DN25 to DN1200, PN6/10/16 and ANSI Class 150.
- Stainless Steel Butterfly Valves – Full stainless steel body and disc for corrosive media, food, pharmaceutical, and outdoor applications.
- DVGW Butterfly Valves – Certified valves for potable water (W270) and natural gas applications, fully compliant with German and European standards.
- Electric Butterfly Valves – Automated valves with electric actuators for PLC integration, remote control, and building management systems.
- Pneumatic Butterfly Valves – Fast-acting automated valves with pneumatic actuators, including ATEX-rated options for hazardous areas, DN25 to DN1200.
- PTFE Butterfly Valves – PTFE-lined valves for aggressive acids, alkalis, solvents, and high-purity processes.
- Butterfly Valves with Gearbox – Manual handwheel operation for larger nominal sizes where lever operation is not practical.
- Double-eccentric Butterfly Valves – High-performance valves with metal sealing for higher pressures, temperatures, and demanding process applications.
- EPDM – The all-rounder for water, hot water, steam, and mild chemicals. Resistant up to approx. 120 °C. Widely used in HVAC and building services. Not suitable for mineral oils.
- NBR (Nitrile) – Designed for mineral oil-based media such as hydraulic oil, fuels, and cooling lubricants. Good resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons. Not recommended for hot water or steam.
- FKM / FPM (Viton®) – Excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, oils, and elevated temperatures. Suitable for more demanding industrial process applications.
- PTFE (Teflon®) – Near-universal chemical resistance. The first choice for aggressive acids, alkalis, and solvents. Also available as a full PTFE-lined valve – see PTFE Butterfly Valves.
- Electric Butterfly Valves – Powered by mains electricity (24V, 230V, 240V). They offer precise positioning, easy integration into PLC and building management systems via control signals (0–10V, 4–20mA), and clear position feedback. The ideal choice for building automation, Industry 4.0 environments, and applications requiring modulating control. See Electric Butterfly Valves.
- Pneumatic Butterfly Valves – Powered by compressed air. They are extremely fast-acting and powerful, making them the preferred choice for quick-cycling processes, emergency shut-down systems, and hazardous (ATEX/Ex) areas where electrical equipment is restricted. Available in single-acting (spring-return, fail-safe) and double-acting variants. See Pneumatic Butterfly Valves.
- Corrosive or aggressive process media that would attack iron over time
- Food, beverage, or pharmaceutical processes where hygiene standards and material compliance are required
- Outdoor or marine environments where the valve body is exposed to corrosive atmospheres or seawater
- High-purity applications where iron contamination of the medium is not acceptable
