Butterfly Valve
A butterfly valve is a type of quarter-turn valve that is used to control the flow of a fluid through a pipeline. It operates by rotating a disc or vane perpendicular to the flow direction to either allow or block the flow. Butterfly valves are commonly used in various industries due to their simple design, quick operation, and versatility.
Key Features:
-
Quarter-Turn Operation: The valve can be quickly opened or closed with a 90-degree turn of the disc, allowing for efficient flow control.
-
Compact Design: Butterfly valves are typically more compact than other types of valves, making them ideal for applications with limited space.
-
Low Pressure Drop: The streamlined disc design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, reducing energy consumption.
-
Versatility: Butterfly valves can be used for both on/off and throttling applications in various industries, including water treatment, HVAC, chemical processing, and more.
-
Resilient Sealing: Options for resilient seat materials such as EPDM, NBR, or PTFE ensure tight shut-off and reliable sealing.
Types of Butterfly Valves:
-
Wafer-Type Butterfly Valve: Designed to fit between two flanges, this type is lightweight and cost-effective.
-
Lug-Type Butterfly Valve: Features threaded inserts or lugs for easy installation and removal from the pipeline.
-
Double Offset Butterfly Valve: Offers improved sealing performance and reduced wear due to the offset disc design.
-
Triple Offset Butterfly Valve: Provides bubble-tight sealing in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
Applications:
- Water and Wastewater Treatment
- Chemical Processing
- Power Generation
- HVAC Systems
- Food and Beverage Industry
