BUTTERFLY VALVES
Butterfly valves are a type of quarter-turn valves used to regulate flow in a pipeline. Named for the wing-like motion of their disc, these valves are known for their simple construction, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. They are widely used in various industries, including water treatment, oil and gas, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
It operates on a simple principle: a disc is rotated 90 degrees to open or close the flow path. When the disc is aligned with the flow, the valve is fully open, allowing maximum flow. Conversely, when the disc is perpendicular to the flow, the valve is closed, stopping the flow entirely.
Intermediate positions of the disc allow for throttling and control of the flow rate. This quarter-turn operation makes butterfly valves quick to operate and ideal for applications requiring frequent opening and closure.
Butterfly valves can be categorized based on several criteria, including the type of disc alignment, seat design, and actuation method. Key types are:
• Centered (Concentric) Butterfly Valves
• Double Offset Butterfly Valves
• Triple Offset Butterfly Valves
• Lug and Wafer Butterfly Valves
