1. Convenient opening and closing, labor saving, low fluid resistance, and can be operated frequently.

2. The structure is simple, the external dimensions are small, the structural length is short, the volume is small, and the weight is light. It is suitable for valves with large diameter.

3. Mud can be transported, and the least liquid is accumulated in the pipe mouth.

4. Under low pressure, a good seal can be achieved.

5. Good adjustment performance.

6. When fully opened, the effective flow area of the valve seat channel is large, and the fluid resistance is small.

7. The opening and closing torque is small, because the butterfly plates on both sides of the rotating shaft are basically the same under the action of the medium, and the direction of generating torque is opposite, so the opening and closing are more labor-saving.

8. The sealing surface material is generally rubber, plastic, so the low-pressure sealing performance is good.

9. Easy installation.

10. Flexible and labor-saving operation, you can choose manual, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic mode.

Disadvantages of butterfly valve:

1. The operating pressure and operating temperature range are small.

2. Poor sealing.

Butterfly valves can be divided into offset plate type, vertical plate type, inclined plate type and lever type according to the structure.

According to the sealing form, it can be soft-sealed or hard-sealed. The soft seal type generally uses a rubber ring seal, and the hard seal type usually uses a metal ring seal.

According to the connection type, it can be divided into flange connection and wafer connection; according to the transmission mode, it can be divided into manual, gear transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric.

What Is A Butterfly Valve?

A butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve used to regulate flow. A metal disc in the body of the valve is positioned perpendicular to the flow in the closed position, and rotated one quarter of a turn to be parallel to the flow in the fully opened position. Intermediate rotations allow regulation of liquid flow. They are often used in agricultural and water or wastewater treatment applications and are one of the most common and well-known valve types.

Advantages of a Butterfly Valve

Butterfly valves are similar to ball valves but have several advantages. They are small and, when actuated pneumatically, open and close very quickly. The disc is lighter than a ball, and the valve requires less structural support than a ball valve of comparable diameter. Butterfly valves are very precise, which makes them advantageous in industrial applications. They are quite reliable and require very little maintenance.

Disadvantages of a Butterfly Valve

One disadvantage of butterfly valves is that some portion of the disc is always presented to the flow, even when fully opened. The use of a butterfly valve therefore always results in a pressure switch across the valve, regardless of the setting.

Butterfly Valves Operating Electronically, Pneumatically or Manually

Butterfly valves can be configured to operate manually, electronically or pneumatically. Pneumatic valves operate most rapidly. Electronic valves require a signal to the gearbox to open or close, while pneumatic valves can be either single or double actuated. A single-actuated valve is typically set up to require a signal to open with a failsafe, meaning that when power is lost the valve springs back to a fully closed position. Double-actuated pneumatic valves are not spring loaded and require a signal both to open and to close.

Automated pneumatic butterfly valves are both reliable and durable. Reduced wear improves the valve life cycle, which reduces operating costs otherwise lost in working hours to maintain the valves.
