Product Overview: Butterfly Valve

The butterfly valve is a commonly used fluid control valve, known for its simple structure, convenient operation, and wide application in fluid control and regulation within industrial settings. Its name derives from the structure of its valve body, resembling the shape of a butterfly, consisting of a circular or elliptical valve body and a rotating valve disc mounted on a stem.

The working principle of the butterfly valve involves controlling the flow of the medium by rotating the valve disc. When the disc is in the fully open position, the medium can flow freely through the valve body, minimizing fluid resistance to the maximum extent; whereas, when the valve disc rotates to the closed position, the medium flow is completely blocked. Due to the rapid opening and closing actions of the butterfly valve, as well as its relatively low pressure loss, it performs excellently in applications requiring frequent flow rate adjustments.

Key characteristics of the butterfly valve include:

1. Simple structure, small size, lightweight, easy installation, and maintenance.

2. Rapid opening and closing actions, suitable for applications requiring quick flow rate adjustments.

3. Low pressure loss, capable of reducing system energy consumption.

4. Excellent sealing performance, applicable to various media and working conditions.

5. Can be combined with various manual, electric, or pneumatic actuators to achieve remote control and automation.

Butterfly valves are widely used in chemical, petroleum, power generation, water treatment, food, and pharmaceutical industries for controlling the flow and pressure of various media. They are reliable, flexible fluid control devices.
