What is a butterfly valve?

Anix Valve USA is one of the most reliable manufacturers of butterfly valves. For more information, please visit our product pages above!

A butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a disk to regulate the flow of fluids. The disk is positioned perpendicularly to the direction of flow, and when it is in line with the pipe, the valve is open. When the disk is rotated 90 degrees, the valve is closed. Butterfly valves are often used because they are simple and can be opened or closed quickly.

How does a butterfly valve work?

A butterfly valve is a type of valve that uses a disk to control the flow of fluid or gas. The disk, shaped like a butterfly's wings, is positioned in the center of the valve body. When open, the disk allows fluid or gas to flow through the valve; when closed, it blocks off the passageway.

Butterfly valves are typically used to regulate flow in pipes and tubes. They can be opened or closed quickly and easily, making them ideal for controlling processes that require fluctuations in pressure or volume. Butterfly valves are also less likely than other types of valves to create turbulence as they close, which makes them safer for use in critical applications such as fuel lines and oil pipelines.

How does a butterfly valve work? When open, the wings on either side of the central shaft allow whatever media (gas/liquid) is passing through it unrestricted movement until it reaches your required point - e.g at 0% throttle opening on an engine - stopping everything dead despite how much fuel might be left in tank! At this stage instead you'll have 100% backpressure!! It saved my bacon more times than I care to remember on race engines where Choice A was full throttle blower boost

When is a butterfly valve used?

When a butterfly valve is used?

Butterfly valves are commonly used in many industrial applications. Some common applications include:

-Food and beverage production

-Pulp and paper processing

-Power generation

-Water and wastewater treatment

The two main types of butterfly valves are the wafer style valve and the lug style valve. The wafer style valve has a thin, flat body that fits between flanges on pipe ends. The lug style valve has lugs or tabs that protrude from the body to attach it to the flanges. Butterfly valves can be made from a variety of materials including cast iron, stainless steel, brass, bronze, or aluminum. They are available in sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 72 inches in diameter.

Butterfly valves are often used as throttling devices because they provide tight shutoff when closed and have good flow characteristics when open. In some applications, they may also be used as check valves because they will automatically reseat if backflow occurs.

What are the benefits of using a butterfly valve?

Butterfly valves offer a number of benefits when compared to other types of valve designs. Some of the most notable advantages include:

Butterfly valves are more efficient than gate valves and ball valves. They can be used as either an on/off or throttling control device, making them versatile for many applications. Because they have a smaller body size and require less torque than gate valves, butterfly valves are ideal for use in restricted spaces. In addition, the disc shape of the butterfly valve allows it to pass significantly more flow per square inch than either a ball valve or globe valve. This makes it an excellent choice for high-volume fluid applications.

The construction of a butterfly valve also eliminates problems that can occur with other types ofvalves such as blowouts (gate) and sticking (ball). And because there is very little friction when the disk slides through the seat, Butterfly Valves experience almost no wear – resulting in extended service life
