About butterfly valve
Principle of operation
Operation is similar to that of a ball valve, which allows for quick shut off. Butterfly valves are generally favored because they cost less than other valve designs, and are a lighter weight so they need less support. The disc is positioned in the center of the pipe. A rod passes through the disc to an actuator on the outside of the valve. Rotating the actuator turns the disc either parallel or perpendicular to the flow. Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open.
A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In operation, the valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a quarter turn. The “butterfly” is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it completely blocks off the passageway. When the valve is fully open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn so that it allows an almost unrestricted passage of the fluid. The valve may also be opened incrementally to throttle flow.
There are different kinds of butterfly valves, each adapted for different pressures and different usage. The zero-offset butterfly valve, which uses the flexibility of rubber, has the lowest pressure rating. The high-performance double offset butterfly valve, used in slightly higher-pressure systems, is offset from the center line of the disc seat and body seal (offset one), and the center line of the bore (offset two). This creates a cam action during operation to lift the seat out of the seal resulting in less friction than is created in the zero offset design and decreases its tendency to wear. The valve best suited for high-pressure systems is the triple offset butterfly valve. In this valve, the disc seat contact axis is offset, which acts to virtually eliminate sliding contact between disc and seat. In the case of triple offset valves, the seat is made of metal so that it can be machined such as to achieve a bubble-tight shut-off when in contact with the disc. In the case of triple offset valves, the seat is made of metal so that it can be machined such as to achieve a bubble-tight shut-off when in contact with the disc.
Types
- Concentric butterfly valves – this type of valve has a resilient rubber seat with a metal disc.
- Doubly-eccentric butterfly valves (high-performance butterfly valves or double-offset butterfly valves) – a different type of material is used for seat and disc.
- Triply-eccentric butterfly valves (triple-offset butterfly valves) – the seats are either laminated or solid metal seat design.
- According to the connection form, it can be divided into wafer butterfly valve and flange butterfly valve;
- According to different sealing surface materials, it can be divided into soft sealing butterfly valve and metal hard sealing butterfly valve;
- According to the driving mode, it can be divided into handle butterfly valve, turbine butterfly valve, pneumatic butterfly valve, electric butterfly valve, etc.

Application of butterfly valve
- Generally, in throttling, regulating control, and mud medium, the structure length is required to be short and the opening and closing speed is fast (1/4 revolution). Low-pressure cut-off (small pressure difference), the butterfly valve is recommended.
- The butterfly valve can be used when two-position adjustment, narrowing channel, low noise, cavitation and vaporization phenomenon, a small amount of leakage into the atmosphere, and abrasive media.
- When the butterfly valve is used under special conditions of throttling adjustment, or strict sealing, or severe wear, low temperature (cryogenic), etc., it is necessary to use a three-eccentric or double-eccentric special designed metal seal with an adjustment device Butterfly valve.
- The centerline butterfly valve is suitable for fresh water, sewage, seawater, saltwater, steam, natural gas, food, medicine, oil, and various products that require complete sealing, zero gas test leakage, high life requirements, and working temperature of -10~150℃ Acid Zang and other pipelines.
- The soft sealing eccentric butterfly valve is suitable for the two-way opening and closing and adjustment of ventilation and dust removal pipelines and is widely used in gas pipelines and waterways in metallurgy, light industry, electric power, and petrochemical systems.
- The metal-to-metal wire sealing double eccentric butterfly valve is suitable for urban heating, steam, water and gas, oil, acid, and alkali pipelines, as a regulating and intercepting device.
- In addition to being used as a large-scale pressure swing adsorption (PSA) gas separation device program control valve, the metal-to-metal surface seal triple eccentric butterfly valve can also be widely used in petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, and other fields. It is a gate valve, stop valve, etc. Good alternative product.
