TECHNICAL GUIDE

Resilient-Seated vs Metal-Seated Butterfly Valves

Seat selection starts with temperature, medium compatibility and shut-off expectations.

What matters

Resilient seats provide an elastic sealing interface. Metal seats use a metal sealing pair selected for the temperature and medium.

What to confirm

Do not select from temperature alone. Confirm corrosion, solids, cycling, leakage requirement and material pairing.

Procurement note

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