Description

Butterfly Valve is a widely used flow control valve across various industries due to its compact design, lightweight structure, and ease of use. It operates using a rotating disc mounted on a central axis to regulate, open, or shut off fluid flow in a piping system. It is suitable for water, oil, gas, chemical systems, and the energy sector.

Features of Butterfly Valve

  • Simple & Efficient Design

    • Fewer components reduce leakage risks and simplify maintenance

    • Allows precise flow control using a simple rotary mechanism

  • Quick Operation

    • Requires only a 90-degree rotation to open or close

    • Enhances process efficiency and saves time

  • Durability & Strength

    • Made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and chemical-resistant alloys

    • Withstands high pressure and diverse temperatures

  • Versatile Applications

    • Suitable for drinking water systems, wastewater treatment, chemical processes, oil & gas, power plants, and food industries

  • Automation-Ready

    • Compatible with actuators (pneumatic or electric) for automated flow control

  • Compact & Lightweight

    • Smaller and lighter than Gate or Globe Valves

    • Ideal for limited-space installations and easy to mount

Types of Butterfly Valve

  • Wafer Type

    • Compact design mounted between flanges with bolts

    • Common in systems requiring easy maintenance and part replacement

  • Lug Type

    • Features side lugs for bolting to the pipeline

    • Allows removal or isolation without dismantling the entire pipeline

  • Flanged Type

    • Equipped with flanges for bolted connections

    • Suitable for high-strength, high-pressure systems

  • High-Performance Butterfly Valve (HPBV)

    • Designed to withstand high pressure and temperature

    • Used in steam and aggressive chemical systems

Applications of Butterfly Valve

  • Water Supply & Wastewater Treatment: Controls flow of drinking water, wastewater, and various liquids

  • Petrochemical & Energy Industries: Handles gas, oil, and fuels

  • Food & Beverage: Used in production of food, drinks, and pharmaceuticals

  • Chemical Industry: Manages flow of corrosive chemicals

  • Pulp & Paper Industry: Regulates chemical and liquid flows in pulp production

Advantages of Butterfly Valve

  • Fast open/close operation, low flow resistance

  • Lightweight and compact, easy to install

  • Easy to maintain due to simple structure

  • Wide material selection for different environments

  • Compatible with automation systems like pneumatic and electric actuators
