BTV2000 Elastomer Seat Energizers and Stem Compression Seals This chart is intended only as a guide for the selection of elastomers for Durco BTV2000 Fluoropolymer or U.H.M.W.P.E. lined butterfly valves. The recommendations may be used for selecting the most appropriate elastomer for the intended service but should not be considered a guarantee or blanket recommendation or for selecting the appropriate liner material. This chart is a compilation of published data and best judgment. The elastomers in the BTV2000 are normally not wetted parts and therefore do not come into contact with service media. However, should the non-metallic liner become damaged or breached due to improper installation or service conditions, compatibility with the media should be considered. The limitations of elastomers may dictate the use of an all-metal alloy Big Max BX2001 butterfly valve. Many factors must be considered when selecting an elastomeric material for a corrosive service. These include: concentration of all chemicals present; maximum, minimum and normal operating temperature; velocity; type and size of any solids present; continuous or intermittent operation; and any other peculiarities characteristic of the solution. Key To Ratings A = Excellent, little or no swelling or softening or surface deterioration. B = Good chemical resistance. Minor chemical attack, swelling, softening or surface deterioration. C = Limited chemical resistance. Moderate chemical attack. Conditional service. NR = Severe attack, swelling, softening, or dissolved within minutes to months. Not recommended.
