 Butterfly valves for the
requirements of tomorrow
More than 140 years ago, Johannes Erhard
founded his valve factory which already in
the 1950s produced butterfly valves in large
nominal widths.
2 ERHARD double-eccentric butterfly valve
46291EN_ROCO_wave.indd 2
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.
ERHARD is setting the standard
ERHARD Butterfly Valves have been a classic under valves for decades. In the
1950s and 1960s already, they were recognised as a standard and used world-
wide. This also applies to the constant product developments up to the ERHARD
EAK Butterfly Valve and the ERHARD ROCO Premium, the latter of which was
launched to the market in 2007. They ensured that ERHARD has been the trend-
setter for more than half a century in the area of butterfly valves.
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,
innovative and customer-oriented products come into being where state-of-the-
art technologies used in engineering, during production and installation as well
as continuous quality assurance ensure highest quality made in Germany.
Perfect solutions for a wide spectrum of applications
Among other things, ERHARD Butterfly Valves are suitable for drinking water,

 Double-eccentric butterfly valves are successfully used in a multitude of installations worldwide
whether in water treatment, in pipelines or in power plants.

industrial water, gas and air as well as for waste water and suspensions. This
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.

For various applications, ERHARD has a comprehensive assortment of dou-

ble-eccentric butterfly valves:
With the new ERHARD ROCO wave [1], the further development of the ERHARD
ROCO Premium, ERHARD is completely redefining the standard for nominal
diameters from DN 150 to DN 1600 and nominal pressures from PN 10 to PN
40 [Page 4].
Based on the ERHARD ROCO Premium, a wide spectrum of special solu-
tions is available for particular application areas, such as a dismantling type
valve[2] or for the BLS system [3] [Page 21].
And for nominal widths beyond DN 1600, the proven ERHARD EAK Butterfly
Valve [4] is the suitable product [Page 24].

redefined the standard

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.

Six large topics define the quality of butterfly valves. By means of the new
ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valve, all tasks are performed to the highest
degree.

 Dynamics
innovative design for optimised flow
and highest economic efficiency

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.

Safety with extreme requirements

The challenge is even greater with large nominal widths or pressure ratings.

During development of the ERHARD ROCO

wave Butterfly Valve, we use the modern
CFD process (computational fluid dynam-
ics). Computational fluid dynamics make it
possible for complex, non-linear fluid me-
chanics problems, which often cannot be
solved exactly, to be solved approximately
using numeric methods.

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.

Precision:
Gearbox with slider-crank
mechanism for opening and
closing without problems
The actuation gear has the task of opening and closing the butterfly valve with-
out any problems at any time. The gearbox with slider-crank mechanism devel-
oped and manufactured at ERHARD is the ideal solution, because its movement
kinematics is perfectly adjusted to the torque curve of the ERHARD ROCO wave
Butterfly Valve.
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
the tilting disc reliably into its seat. A defined preload of the sealing element
guarantees sufficient sealing pressure and thus the valves reliability of service.
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

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.

Flow Minimisation of pressure surge danger

Worm Gear The gearbox with slider-crank mechanism initially closes from full
Slider-crank mechanism opening towards half-open position. In the further course, in the
hydraulically effective throttle range between 30 and 0 % [from A], it is
closed in a heavily slowed down way due to the toggle lever effect. The
A B danger of pressure surges is thereby clearly minimised. By contrast,
the worm gear closes in a linear way and thus relatively slow. In the
30 % further course [from B], the hydraulically effective throttle range is run
through with the same actuation speed until closed position. During the
process, the danger of pressure surges is increased several times.

 Power:
safe movement without any play
thanks to the polygon
plug connection

A strong connection is required in order to transmit drive forces to the butterfly

disc in a safe way at any time. The polygon plug connection, which was already
introduced and patented with the ERHARD ROCO Premium and which is also
used with the ERHARD ROCO wave, ensures torque and zero backlash.

Thanks to highest precision during manufacturing, it enables an absolutely

clearance-free connection due to the notch-free polygon profile with the same
shaft diameter and thus 20 % higher torque reserves in comparison with the key
joint connection.
At the same time, the construction with completely closed butterfly eye and
the use of O-ring cages allows complete encapsulation of the bearing from the
medium.

The polygon plug connection is ideally

adjusted to the reserves of the ERHARD
SKG gearbox with slider-crank mecha-
nism enabling precise and safe power
transmission.

10 ERHARD double-eccentric butterfly valve

46291EN_ROCO_wave.indd 10 28.04.2014 08:09:38

 However, the polygon plug connection also provides even more advantages:
Additional connection elements are not required; therefore there are also no
separation joints.
State-of-the-art precision manufacturing technologies make it possible that
the connection is absolutely free of play and together with the flow-optimised
shape of the butterfly disc prevents any fluttering.
Sealing takes place consistently on the coated component areas.
In addition, the construction is perfectly adjusted to the reserves of the ERHARD
gearbox with slider-crank mechanism used as standard with the ERHARD
ROCO wave.

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.

 Protection:
perfect surfaces for
every field of application

Optimal protection of the medium and construction is the precondition for a

permanent function of all valves. By means of the modern surface technologies
from ERHARD, your valves will always be provided with the solution adjusted to
the relevant application.

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.

The castings are first sandblasted using
a special granulate so that the metal is
blank. Depending on the size, the epoxy
plastic is applied in the powder coating or
wet process.
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.
Special coatings
Special coating technologies protect ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valvesin a
reliable way, also with critical fields of application, such as acids or lye solutions,
with sediment-containing water, in cooling systems, in hydraulic steel struc-
tures, with sea water or brackish water as well as with industrial wastewater.

polymer ceramic composite mate-
rial with an excellent mechanical

 Permanently protected
by means of ERHARD Pro-Enamel
ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valves are also available in a fully enamelled
version for perfect corrosion protection. After firing at about 720 C, enamel
becomes a vitreous, high-tensile material forming an inseparable bond with the
metallic substrate. As a special feature, ERHARD valves provided with ERHARD
Pro-Enamel have a special fibre enamel. With ERHARD Pro-Enamel, short
fibres in the material stop the enamel from cracking in case of any damage.

In accordance with DIN 51178, ERHARD Pro-Enamel offers numerous

advantages: 3
Safely protected against infiltration
Absolutely tight for water vapour and oxygen
Stable connection, also in case of bend of the material and other strains
Resistant against acids, lye solutions and neutral organic media 2

enables us to carry out a high-quality production in which we can seamlessly
monitor all steps.

Except for fully enamelled versions (up to DN 600), ERHARD ROCO wave But-
terfly Valves are also available in combinations of EKB and Enamel, for example
with interior surface enamelling and/or an enamelled tilting disc.

Safety:
permanently tight and
easy to maintain
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.
Seat ring for lasting safety
A welded-on seat ring is used with the ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valve
for all models with inside EKB coating. During the process, a special alloy is
metallurgically bonded to the base material by means of the PTA welding pro-
cess (Plasma Transferred Arc or also Plasma Powder Build-Up Welding) . The
resultant layer offers high wear protection and an exceptionally high resistance
against pitting and crevice corrosion. This particularly applies also to mineral
acids, alkaline media, sea and brackish water as well as with high-tempera-
ture media. That way, the new construction ensures a permanently tight contact
between the rubberized sealing ring and the seat applied to the housing.
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.
Shaft bearing - reliable and ease of maintenance
The shaft bearing, too, complies with highest standards in terms of safety and
ease of maintenance: On the drive side [5] , the construction features the follow-
ing details which together ensure a sealing concept without any dead spaces:

A
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.

rior which is combined with and EPDM or NBR seal depending on the relevant
field of application. Thanks to this construction, it is impossible for it to slip

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

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.

Easy-to-maintain main seal 8

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.

 Size:
one product design for all
nominal widths and pressure ratings

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.

1 1
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
2 2 Valve for DN 80 to DN 125 (PN 16 and PN 25) as well as the ERHARD EAK But-
terfly Valve for all nominal diameters beyond DN 1600 [Page 20].

 For a perfect connection
Dismantling type and BLS connection

ERHARD ROCO Premium Butterfly valve - dismantling type

An ideal butterfly valve for replacement in plants and pipe networks is the
ERHARD ROCO Premium Butterfly Valve - dismantling type. It combines all
advantages of the ERHARD ROCO Premium Butterfly Valve with a tightly con-
nected dismantling type and is thus perfectly suited for all plant and pipeline
network operators.

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.

ERHARD ROCO Premium Butterfly valve BLS

The longitudinal positive-lockingBLSsocket connection (BLS = Buderus Lock
System) is a further development of proven restraint systems. It is form-fitting
and extremely durable, i.e. it can also be used for extreme applications, and it
can be easily mounted or dismounted. So in a rocky terrain, for example, it has
proved itself since many years.

On the basis of numerous technical and economic advantages of this flangeless

connection, ERHARD - apart from other valves and a lot of fittings - has also
developed for this future-oriented system ERHARD ROCO Premium Butterfly
Valves in nominal widths DN 200, 250 and 300 (PN 16).

Special variants for a
wide spectrum of applications
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 ROCO Premium Butterfly Valves with butt-welding ends
ERHARD ROCO Premium butterfly valves with butt-welding endsare manufac-
tured especially for the use in gas supply networks for pressure ratings up to PN
16. In this special case, the outer corrosion protection consists of a high-quality
two-component polyurethane coating for underground valves. This coating is
excellently suitable for the safe corrosion protection connection after welding
took place in the pipe trench. The valves housing consists of ST 52-3. For gas
applications, pressure tests are carried according to DIN 3230, Part 5 in PG1 or
PG3.
ERHARD ROCO Butterfly Valves of the long series
Apart from the standard version in overall lengths according to DIN EN 558-1,
basic series 14, ERHARD ROCO Butterfly Valves are also available in a long ver-
sion according to basic series 15. The product range comprises nominal widths
from DN 400 to DN 1200 in the pressure ratings PN 10 and PN 16. Further ver-
sions are possible on request. As a basic variant, there is one version each avail-
able - one with and one without bypass. The main application field of this valve
is filling and discharging of pipelines free of pressure surges via the integrated
bypass using an ERHARD Gate Valve. Therefore it can be done without the com-
plex installation of a bypass line in the pipe trench. The whole system looks as
if from one and the same cast, providing optimal corrosion protection.
Further accessories
The wide product range of ERHARD Butterfly Valves also includes further acces-
sory items, such as:
Limit switch on the gearbox
Lockable hand wheels
Hang-up devices

proven technology

Since more than 70 years, ERHARD EAK Butterfly Valves provide proven tech-
nology of the highest quality. Tried and tested details ensure reliable quality and
high economic efficiency. With nominal widths between DN 1600 and DN 3600
and pressure ratings from PN 10 to PN 40, the cover a wide field of application.
As a matter of course, further customer-specific variants are also possible with
the ERHARD EAK Butterfly Valve.

Proven bearing and sealing section

Drive shaft and journal are mounted in maintenance-free, self-lubricating plain
bearings [3] . They are highly resistant, robustly designed and designed for
toughest operating conditions. The lining of the DU sleeve bearings with PFE
ensures very low friction values and a correspondingly high service life. The
double shaft sealing [4] is equipped with robust O-rings and support rings and
blow-out proofed enclosed.

ERHARD EAK Butterfly Valves are suitable for

a wide range of tasks: whether in the turbine 1 2 3
feed of the coal-fired power plant of EnBW in
Karlsruhe [1], where a butterfly valve DN 3600
[2] is used, or with the comprehensive refur-
bishment of the water supply in Leipzig which
is partly almost 100 years old [3] and where 15
ERHARD Butterfly Valves were installed in sizes
of DNV 500 to DN 1000
partly with integrated bypass for optimal
pressure balance during start-up.

 Notes on design
and installation

Gearbox arrangement
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.

 Optimal drives
for every application

Depending on the mounting location and area of application, there are a lot
of drive options available which thanks to standardised connections can be
replaced easily at any time.

To both the classic spindle gear and the innovative gearbox with slider-crank
mechanism, the following drives can be directly connected:
1. Interface with coupling sleeve for installation equipment according to DVGW
Worksheet GW 336
2. Square caps
3. Hand wheel
4. Chain wheel
5. Column stand with hand wheel and spindle extension
6. Column stand with electric rotary drive and spindle extension
7. Spindle extension with hand wheel
8. adjustable underground installation equipment with street cap or
9. adjustable underground installation equipment with street cap and gear
wheeled position indicator

For use of electric rotary drives [10], in combination with spur-type transmis-
sion gears [11], if necessary, the spindle gear is supplemented by a drive flange
[12] . Further options are hydraulic or pneumatic rotary actuators [13] as well
as break-and-lift units [14] .

Brake-and-lift units are available for nom-
inal widths from DN 200 to DN 3000. They
can be combined both with ERHARD ROCO
wave and ERHARD EAK Butterfly valves.
Also with international large-scale projects,
professionals rely on ERHARD when it
comes to the topic of butterfly valves. So
in the power plant in Taishan, China, for
instance, 26 ERHARD EAK Butterfly Valves
DN 2400 with hydraulic brake-and-lift units
are used [1]. The 18-ton heavy brake-and-
lift valves in the Austrialian Warragamba
dyke are designed for emergency shuts
with a maximum flow velocity of 30 m/s [2].
30 ERHARD double-eccentric butterfly valve
46291EN_ROCO_wave.indd 30
Safety first
Break-and-lift drive
Both ERHARD ROCO wave and ERHARD EAK Butterfly Valves are optionally
available with a hydraulically controlled break-and-lift drive in compact design.
Among others, applications include:
Pipe burst control
automatically operated pump return safety device
Turbine inflow safety device
Quick-opening valve
All devices which are required for hydraulic control of the closed hydraulic sys-
tem, such as pumps and valves, are fastened directly to the cylinder so that
few piping is necessary. In order to reduce the flow rate within a pipeline, the
first braking range (approx. 70 % of the closing angle) is passed quickly, with
the remaining 30 % flow rate being strongly throttled in order to keep dynamic
pressure peaks low (closing time characteristic in 2 steps).
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.
Piston actuator and emergency hand wheel
With the version with piston actuator and emergency wheel it is ensured that
the valve can be closed in a safe way also when the hydraulic system or the
pressure-air supply fails.
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 three-point locking

Accidental opening of the butterfly valve in case of revisions of the pipeline
system is safely and reliably prevented due to the ERHARD three-point locking
system. This guarantees that the butterfly functions as a locked and drip-tight
closed safety valve. Inspection of the pipeline can take place without danger
even in case of an operating error on the drive.

The locking device consists of two fixed and one movable end stop. At the mov-
able end stop, a pin operated by a hand wheel drives into the housing, blocking
reliable the closed tilting disc. In this position, the valve is closed drip-tight in
both pressure directions. An additional mechanical locking of the pin in the end
positions serves as another safety feature. Unintentional opening and closing of The pin positions of the ERHARD Three-

 Tested safety
with drinking water and gas

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.

Furthermore, for ERHARD ROCO wave Butterfly Valves, we have a DIN-DVGW

Type Examination Certificate which internally and externally confirms that
these valves comply with the high requirements in the drinking water area. As a
matter of course, however, all other drinking water valves also comply with the
requirements according to the KTW and DVGW Regulations W270.

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.
