Butterfly Valve

Butterfly valves function as regulatory or shut-off valves. They are operated in a quarter-turn rotational motion to regulate, start, and stop the fluid flow. They limit the flow by being partially open, or they can entirely shut off the flow. Butterfly valves are best suitable for shutting off and throttling processes.Butterfly valves are designed to control the flow rate of a fluid. The type of fluid varies on what materials butterfly valves are made of. They can be chemically neutral fluids, pharmaceutical fluids, or even corrosive fluids. Butterfly valves have a good sealing system which is suitable for heating circuits.Butterfly valves have a disc mounted on a rotating shaft. The disc forms a right angle to the flow of the fluid when the valve opens. When the valve is fully closed, the disc blocks the line completely, which disrupts the flow.Butterfly valves help in decreasing pressure in a system as they control the flow of the fluid. Once the SIO High performance butterfly valve fluid passing through the valve’s opening is restricted, the pressure drops significantly further down the pipeline. Some types of butterfly valves, like PVC butterfly valves, have a handle that stops and locks at any position as it fully opens or closes to control the flow of the fluid with precision. Some butterfly valves are equipped with flanges, which means they cannot be attached to piping right away. They are essential in pressure drop since the valve disc is always present amid flow. Butterfly valves are used for different fluid services and in slurry applications. These valves are the best choice in cooling water, gases, air, and fire protection systems, and vacuum and steam services.
