double-eccentric
butterfly valve
The function of butterfly valves is to start and stop the flow of media in pipelines
and plants in a safe way at any time. In particular the construction type of the
double-eccentric butterfly valve, where the shaft axis is offset in both dimen-
sions compared with the pipeline axis, features a lot of advantages over other
types of valves:
Double-eccentric butterfly valves require only little space within pipeline
systems.
Due to the double-eccentric valve bearing, the strain of elastomers is reduced
at the sealing area thereby cutting maintenance efforts.
Compared with closure devices positioned vertically to the pipeline, they fea-
ture a more favourable inflow to the clap disc over the entire pivoting range.
And last but not least, they have lower actuating moments, especially with
larger nominal diameters.
For all generations of butterfly valves, however, the same high requirements
have been applicable: a solid and reliable construction complying with a multi-
tude of tasks with outstanding safety and economic efficiency. So with ERHARD,

results in fields of applications in drinking water production and distribution, in
water transport, sewage technology and gas supply as well as in the industrial
sector.

With our new ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valve, we are establishing a new
standard. As a further development of the ERHARD ROCO Premium butterfly
valve, it ensures top values in terms of safety, economic efficiency and durabil-
ity, using innovative detailed solutions.
1 Dynamics Flow-optimised cla discs and internal housing contours ensure stability 6
in any size and highest economic efficiency at the same time.
2 Precision The gearbox with slider-crank mechanism ideally matches the torque 8
curve of the disc and reliably reduces pressure surges due to slowed
closing.
3 Power The polygon plug connection reliably transmits the drive forces without 10
any play or fluttering.
4 Protection High-quality coatings in EKB and Enamel as well as a wide range of spe- 12
cial coatings ensure long-term protection for any application.
6 Size Nominal diameters from DN 150 to DN 1600 and pressure ratings from 16
PN 10 to PN 40 offer solutions for every task.
Solutions which are elaborated in every detail, such as the optimised shape of the disc, the sealing
section applied using the PTA process, and easy to replace seal rings ensure economical operation
of the ERHARD ROCO for many years.

High dynamic forces are acting in pipelines and plants. These forces
have to be coped with by a butterfly valve in a safe way. There are
two perspectives at the heart of this: For one, a stable disc is
required that especially resists the arising forces during
opening and closing in a safe way. For another, the
discs shape and housings internal contour must be
designed in such a way, however, that the pressure
loss of the opened valve being in media flow is minimal
in order to enable economic operation.
Butter
During development of the ERHARD ROCO wave Butter-
fly Valve, we therefore used state-of-the-art computer-aided
design techniques. Thus the characteristic waveform came into
high
being giving the butterfly valve its name. The waveform design ensures high-
est stability on the one hand, with its flow characteristics being optimised in
such a way on the other hand that the least possible pressure loss compared
with other butterfly valves available on the market could be realized. At the
same time, this design ensures optimal protection against cavitation.
In this context, flow optimisation means that the flow is only minimally affected
when the valve is open. This ensures that the whole plant can be operated using
the least possible pump capacity, for instance. This takes care of permanently
low operating costs. Using the formula and the diagram, the pressure loss to be
compensated for can be calculated easily. The basis of the table values is the
averaged inflow for the enamelled version. On request, we will be happy to pro-
vide you with resistance coefficients for other nominal diameters and nominal
pressures.

With the ERHARD ROCO wave, a disc in the Skeleton design is used here which
is based on the findings of a strength-oriented topology study and represents
an optimised further development of the previously existing double-deck disc.
The torque curve for operating the disc is not equal, but it increases dispropor-
tionately near closing point (see graphic) in order to push the main sealing of

slider-crank mechanism as standard.
Slowed closing speeds of the discs near the CLOSED position ensure extremely
soft closing. This minimises the danger of pressure surges (see info box on the
right) and thus increases the safety and service life of the plant components.
Furthermore, the actuating moments of the ERHARD gearbox with slider-crank
mechanism are constantly low so that electrical actuators - if used - can be
4 given small dimensions which is a clear cost advantage. Furthermore,
the gearboxes are characterized by a self-locking effect in any posi-
tion as well as adjustability in stop positions.

ensures that no forces are being exerted on the housing parts during operation.
Thanks to the robust, closed housing [2] according to protection class IP68
and the maintenance-free construction, the ERHARD SKG gearbox with slid-
er-crank mechanism is extremely durable and particularly suitable for under-
ground installation, but also for flooded areas.
The mechanical position indicator [3], which is directly connected to the shaft,
and the sight glass made of impact resistant polycarbonate make it possible
to check the degree of openness at any time so that the SKG can also be used
without any problems when installed underground.
With a slip-on gear according to DIN ISO 5211, a flange bearing for plant engi-
neering or underground installation or a hand wheel or flange according to
DIN 5210 for a rotary drive, flexible drive options [4] arise thanks to a variable
modular kit and the fact that the gearbox arrangement can be changed at any
time without problems. A subsequent switch from manual operation to elec-
tric operation can also be carried out easily.
The use of bronze [5] and stainless steel ensures very long durability and high
security of investment.
Double eccentric design for simple opening and long service life
Three basic types of butterfly valves are possible during construction. With
centric butterfly valves, the shaft axis is centred with the axis of the butterfly
valve and the pipeline axis [1]. It thus simultaneously runs through main
seal or the housing seat, with the main seal being interrupted by the shaft. 1 2 3
With eccentric valves, the main seal or the housing seat is offset to the shaft
axis by contrast [2] so that an endless seal ring can be used.
If the shaft axis is additionally offset above or under the pipeline axis, the
valves are referred to as double-eccentric valves [3]. The tilting disc of 5
the ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valve is also mounted in the housing in
a double-eccentric way. That way, when the swivel motion is started for 6
opening, a rotary motion occurs [4] which is superimposed by a translatory
motion [5] in addition. The butterfly valve rotates, but it moves away from
the seat ring [6] at the same time. Thereby it lifts off from the seat after
a few degrees of opening, whereby the sealing ring is relieved. All these 6
4
effects minimise wear and tear.
5
Together with the complete releasing of sealing ring tension at maximum
opening, this results in a clearly longer service life. At the same time, the
translatory motion ensures that the sealing ring can be easily loosened
from the seat, even with valves which have been closed for years.
ERHARD EKB
The epoxy resin coating provided in the powder coating process is one of the
most often used corrosion protection processes. During this process, the coat-
ing is applied in a precisely defined thickness and melted on at exactly 210 C.
The standard thickness is at least 250 m, layer thicknesses up to 500 m are
possible. The plant works using the latest technologies and complies with the
test conditions of the Quality Association for Heavy Duty Corrosion Protection
of Powder Coated Valves and Fittings (GSK) with quality assurance according
to RAL-GZ 662. With large valves, EKB is applied in a wet process in a two-layer
structure: A cathodic basic protection is followed by an electrostatic wet coat-
ing using a low-solvent 2-component epoxy resin. In the heat channel, the final
2 bonding takes place to the heavy corrosion protection according to DIN 30677-2.
EKB is physiologically harmless for drinking water and has confirmed test cer-
tificates, among others, from the DVGW Research Centre TZW Karlsruhe, from
the Hygiene Institute of Gelsenkrichen and the WRAS (WRc) in Great Britain.

Decisive for operational safety over years are reliable bearing and sealing con-
structions which are easy to maintain in addition. ERHAD ROCO wave Butterfly
Valves set a new standard in this area, too.
With all versions coated inside with enamel, sealing takes place directly on the
enamel. That way, no additional seat ring is required. This further increases
durability. This direct seat is possible by the fact that enamel represents a glassy
and high-strength material which has an inseparable bond with the substrate.
Enamel features a high hardness of 600 HV. It has an extremely smooth surface
(Ra 0.05) and is thus an ideal mating face for elastomer seals.

Variants with EKB coating [1/2] use a seat ring [A] which is welded-on by means of the PTA process
and serves as a counter seal for the rubberized profile seal ring [B]. With enamelled valves [3/4],
the seal ring closes directly on the enamelled seat [C] which represents an ideal mating face due to
the hardness and smooth surface area of the enamel.

An easy-to-replace retaining ring [E] serves as a blow-off protection and
ensures safety during dismounting. The replaceable brass cage [F] provides
additional sealing and bearing.

On the blind side [6] , the journals are supported using P1 bushes. As on the
drive side, sealing here also takes place directly on the coating surface area
using O-ring cages [D] made of POM. A levelling washer [G] ensures that no
axial motion is possible for the shaft. The bearing cover [H] consists of stainless
steel.
ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly valves are equipped with a soft sealing main seal.
For nominal widths to DN 600, a rubberized steel ring is used which can be
easily fixed using screws [7]. For larger nominal widths, a rubber ring is fixed
by means of a stable steel ring on the valve disc [8]. Both variants can be read-
justed without problems and can be replaced easily at any time. The setting is
secured using counter pins. On request, the main seal is also available in Viton,
PU or other special materials. Depending on the nominal width, various
main seals are used: a rubberized steel
ring for versions up to DN 600, a rubber
ring fastened by means of a metal ring for
versions beyond DN 600.
As one of the most often used valves, butterfly valves have to cover a wide spec-
trum of applications. The ERHARD ROCO wave is the right solution: from small
to large ones, for use in plants and pipe networks, for water and gas applica-
tions. Because by means of this, all nominal diameters from DN 150 to DN 1600
and all nominal pressures from PN 10 to PN 40 are covered by only one product
line.
As the only butterfly valve in the market, the ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valve
has a DIN-DVGW Type Examination Certificate* for versions up to a nominal
width of DN 1600 (PN 10 and PN 16) which externally and independently certifies
that these valves fulfil the high requirements in the drinking water sector.

With all versions, handling is facilitated by means of two new useful details:
Additional flange holes make it possible to hang up the valve and thus facili-
tate transport [1].
Integrated stands support the valve and guarantee a safe stand on the contact
surface [2].
As supplement to the assortment with larger and smaller nominal widths, there
are two proven types of butterfly valves available: the ERHARD ROCO Butterfly

Butterfly valves of dismantling type have two large fields of application. For
one, they are used in the course of new construction measures, whereby it can
be done without a time-consuming and expensive installation of fittings and
extension pieces. On the one hand, depending on the relevant material selec-
tion which is otherwise required for fittings and extension pieces, this results in
1 savings of approximately 20 % with regard to new investments, and installation
times and thus personnel expenses decrease to about one third on the other
hand.
For another, dismantling type butterfly valves are ideally suited as replacement
valves for refurbishing plants and supply networks. Because due to compressing
the flange seal, the previous valve must often be handled using brute force or
2 special tools. Installation of a valve identical in construction and overall length
will therefore be almost impossible. This is not the case with the ERHARD ROCO
Premium Butterfly Valve in dismantling type. It in fact falls below the overall
length by 3 mm, with the flange seal already being integrated into the disman-
tling type concept. This results in a variable overall length which makes it possi-
ble to install the valve in the existing gap also without fitting or extension piece.
The ERHARD ROCO Premium Butterfly valve of dismantling type can also be
used as a shut-off valve in plants or as an underground pipe network valve. By
mounting and fixing the valve on the fixed-flange side, it is installed safe against
Within the bounds of refurbishment works, the Landeswasserversorgung (Water Supply Agency)
of the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg replaced a gate valve with an ERHARD ROCO Premium
Butterfly valve of dismantling type [3/4]. The replacement of the valves is facilitated by using the
loose flange it can be done without widening the valve flange and pipeline flange for installing a
seal.
Installation without problems is also possible with vertical pipelines [5]. Elaborate support of the
valve is not required, because it is fastened to the fixed flange during installation. The perfect seat
of the valve guarantees ease of handling in all mounting situations [6]. With it, it is also possible to
subsequently turn the valve after it has been installed.
turning.
The loose flanges are movable within a certain application range (-1 mm to +5
mm). Furthermore, they are tightly connected to the valve housing. The overall
length of the loose-flange valve is manufactured with a minus tolerance, and by
leaving out the flange seal on the loose flange side, additional play is created.
The seal in integrated into the loose flange.
Prior to installation [1], the loose flange with integrated flange seal is put into
end position. The housing is manufactured with a minus tolerance so that a gap
results between butterfly valve and pipeline, enabling easy installation into the
existing construction gap. After installation [2], the loose flange with integrated
flange seal is pulled up to the pipeline flange and the flange connection is
screwed together. While doing so, the gap between valve and pipeline is bridged
by the loose flange. The integrated flange seal caulks towards the pipeline and
the valves housing in a safe way. Due to the holding elements, the bond between
loos flange and valve is tightly connected.
Apart from the different versions with flange, loose-flange, or BLS connection,
ERHARD also offers a lot of special versions for a wide spectrum of applica-
tions. Here are some examples:

ERHARD Butterfly Valves are basically factory-adjusted for both pressure direc-
tions. For actuation, gearboxes are by default designed for p=PN. In the event
of an order, the gearbox arrangement has to be defined by means of the over-
view graphics. Delivery of the valve takes place as standard according to figure
1. In case of pressurisation in one direction, the pressure shall be present from
side A (preferred pressure direction).
ERHARD Butterfly Valves can be installed in all positions so that the stated
arrangements can also be used for vertical pipelines. The tilting disc closes by
clockwise rotation of the hand wheel.

The opening process of the butterfly valve takes place by raising the weight
lever by means of hydraulic cylinders using an electric hydraulic pump or a
manual oil pump. The tilting disc is hydraulically kept in opening position.
Non-return protection
For special applications like manifolds with parallel pumps or ascending lines,
butterfly valves from DN 150 can also be combined with a suitable non-return
protection.
ERHARD Check Valves are manufactured in accordance with the same high
standards. With stable housings, a streamlined tilting disc, shafts brought out
to both sides and mounted maintenance-free, as well as a robust wedge con-
nection between shaft and disc, the butterfly valves represent the perfect sup-
plement to the ERHARD ROCO wave and ERHARD EAK Butterfly Valves.

ERHARD Butterfly Valves are used worldwide and have proved in thousands
of applications. Especially in the use of drinking water and gas pipelines, the
requirements are particularly high. Accordingly, the components and coating
systems have been carefully developed for these applications.
For use in the drinking water area, the requirements of the KTW recommen-
dations, a guideline for hygienic assessment of organic materials which are
in contact with drinking water (KTW = Plastic and Drinking water), have been
considered throughout during construction. The same is applicable to the
requirements of the DVGW Worksheet W270 The growth of micro-organisms
on materials intended for use in drinking water systems - examination and
assessment, in which the DVGW pointed to the necessity of protection of drink-
ing water against micro-organisms on non-metallic materials.
For the use with gas, the DIN-DVGW Type Examination Certificate applies
accordingly. Apart from these two national certificates, ERHARD Butterfly
Valves have numerous further international approvals. We would be pleased to
inform you about them.
With a transport network which is more than 500 km long , the Harzwasserwerke provides more
than 1.5 million people with drinking water of best quality. Among other things, the natural soft
water is taken from the Grane Dam in the western Harz mountains. From this drinking water
reservoir holding 46 million m of water, up to 180,000 m of high-quality drinking water is extracted
every day.
Since the Harzwasserwerke started operation in 1928, the long service life of the equipment is par-
amount to engineering planning. The waterworks at the Grane Dam was built in 1972 and in recent
years equipped with ERHARD ROCO Butterfly Valves.
Especially with complex technical installations, product supplies are not enough.
