Type B is bi-direction wafer valve which has been designed for media with high steadiness. They’re used in paper and pulp, energy generation, in water treatment, chemical industries, and power station technology.
Type C is uni-directional wafer valve which has been designed for industrial massive handling service purposes. It is used in chemical, mining, food/beverage industries, agriculture, and animal feed sector.
