Advantages of Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a regulating valve with a simple structure that can be used for switching control of low-pressure pipeline medium. Butterfly valves have the following eight advantages:

advantage

1. The opening and closing are convenient and quick, which is labor-saving, and the fluid resistance is small, so it can be operated frequently.

2. Simple structure, small size, short structure length, small size, light weight, suitable for large diameter valves.

3. Butterfly non return valve can transport mud, and the liquid accumulated at the pipe mouth is the least.

4. Under low pressure, good sealing can be achieved.

5. When the valve is fully open, the effective flow area of the valve seat channel is larger, and the fluid resistance is smaller.

6. The opening and closing torque is relatively small because the butterfly plates on both sides of the rotating shaft are basically equally affected by the medium and the direction of the torque is opposite, so the opening and closing is relatively labor-saving.

7. The sealing surface material is generally made of rubber or plastic, so the low-pressure sealing performance is good.

8. The operation is flexible and labor-saving, and manual, electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic methods can be selected.
