TECHNICAL GUIDE

PN10 vs PN16 Butterfly Valves

Pressure class changes more than the label: confirm flange drilling, body design and system pressure.

What matters

PN10 and PN16 identify different nominal pressure classes. The matching flange drilling and the valve rating must agree.

What to confirm

Provide design pressure, operating pressure, temperature and the exact pipeline flange standard.

Procurement note

Model designations do not replace an operating-condition review. Final selection must follow the actual project requirements and approved technical documents.
