Butterfly Valves: Reliable Flow Control for Diverse Applications

Butterfly valves are a versatile and cost-effective solution for controlling the flow of liquids, gases, slurries, and powders in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Their simple design, compact size, and ease of operation make them a popular choice for various industries. This description details the key features and benefits of our comprehensive range of butterfly valves.

Key Features:

• Disc Rotation Mechanism: Our butterfly valves utilize a rotating disc, positioned within the valve body, to control flow. The disc's rotation, typically 90 degrees, provides a simple on/off or throttling control mechanism. This simple action results in faster operation compared to gate or globe valves.
• Variety of Materials: We offer butterfly valves constructed from a variety of durable materials including:
  • Cast Iron: Cost-effective for general-purpose applications with moderate pressure and temperature requirements.
  • Ductile Iron: Enhanced strength and corrosion resistance compared to cast iron, suitable for more demanding applications.
  • Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature capabilities, ideal for hygienic and aggressive media.
  • PVC/CPVC: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for chemical processing and water treatment.
• Diverse Body Styles: Choose from various body styles to optimize performance for your specific needs:
  • Wafer Style: Compact design, ideal for space-constrained applications. Requires flange-to-flange mounting.
  • Lug Style: Bolted-on design providing increased rigidity and strength, especially for higher pressure applications.
  • Double Flanged Style: Offers superior sealing and strength for demanding operating conditions.
• Sealing Options: Ensure optimal sealing and prevent leakage with a variety of options:
  • EPDM: Excellent for water and many chemicals.
  • NBR: Good resistance to oils, fuels, and many solvents.
  • Viton: Superior resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
• Actuation Options: Control your butterfly valves with ease using various actuation methods:
  • Manual: Simple handwheel operation for low-frequency applications.
  • Pneumatic: Automated control using compressed air, ideal for remote or frequent operation.
  • Electric: Precise control via electric motor, often integrated with process control systems.

Benefits:

• Compact Size and Lightweight: Saves space and reduces installation costs.
• Cost-Effective: Generally lower in price than other valve types.
• Simple Operation and Maintenance: Easy to operate and maintain, minimizing downtime.
• Low Pressure Drop: Efficient flow control with minimal pressure loss.
• Bi-directional Flow: Suitable for both forward and reverse flow applications.
• Wide Range of Sizes and Pressure Ratings: Available in various sizes and pressure ratings to meet diverse application requirements.

Applications:

Butterfly valves find applications in numerous industries, including:

• Water Treatment: Controlling water flow in pipelines and filtration systems.
• Chemical Processing: Handling corrosive and aggressive chemicals.
• Pulp and Paper: Controlling the flow of pulp and other materials.
• Food and Beverage: Used in sanitary applications where hygiene is critical.
• HVAC: Regulating airflow in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

Choosing the Right Butterfly Valve:

Selecting the appropriate butterfly valve requires considering factors such as:

• Fluid type and properties: Viscosity, temperature, pressure, corrosiveness.
• Pipe size and pressure rating: Ensure compatibility with your existing system.
• Flow control requirements: On/off or throttling control.
• Actuation method: Manual, pneumatic, or electric.
• Environmental conditions: Temperature, humidity, and exposure to chemicals.
