What are Butterfly Valves?
Butterfly valves are a type of quarter-turn valve
used to regulate or isolate the flow of liquids, gases,
or slurries in a piping system.
They consist of a circular disc (the "butterfly") that
is mounted on a rotating shaft. When the valve is
operated, the disc rotates 90 degrees, either
parallel or perpendicular to the flow, allowing the
valve to open or close.
Butterfly valves are known for their lightweight,
compact design, and simple mechanism, making
them cost-effective and easy to install. They are
commonly used in industries such as water
treatment, HVAC, chemical processing, and food
and beverage production.
Key Features of Butterfly Valves:
Lightweight
Butterfly valves are typically made from lightweight
materials such as aluminum, cast iron, or stainless
steel, making them easier to handle, transport, and
install compared to other valve types.
Their compact design allows for space savings in
confined piping systems.
Key Features of Butterfly Valves:
Cost-Effective
Due to their simple design and efficient manufacturing
process, butterfly valves are generally more affordable
than other valve types.
They offer a cost-effective solution for both small-scale
and large-scale applications without compromising
performance.
Key Features of Butterfly Valves:
Easy to Install
Butterfly valves feature a straightforward design
with fewer parts than many other valve types,
which makes them easier and quicker to install.
They can be mounted in a variety of ways (wafer,
lug, or flanged connections), adding flexibility for
different system setups.
The quick and simple installation process
minimizes downtime and reduces labor costs.
