There are numerous factors to consider when selecting a butterfly valve. You can select from single or double offset, non-wetted or actuated, and many other options. However, when selecting one, it is best to consult a professional.
The butterfly valve's body has traditionally been designed to fit between two pipe flanges. In a variety of ways, the seat and disc are bonded or interleaved. Metal to metal, polymer to metal, or a rubber-backed cushion can be used for the seat.
China butterfly valve are built to withstand high pressures. They are most commonly used in food, beverage, and dry bulk handling applications. They are also employed in oil and gas drilling. They provide zero leakage shutoff. Because of their lightweight profile and low cost, they are frequently preferred over other valve designs.
When a butterfly valve is fully open, the disc is designed to create little resistance. This results in little turbulence and a low pressure drop.
The butterfly valve is also notable for its zero-leakage shutoff function. Its ability to provide such a sealing mechanism is thought to extend valve life. Butterfly valves, unlike other valve designs, do not need to be pigged. They are instead intended to provide long-term, maintenance-free performance.
A butterfly valve's disc is concentric with the valve body, which aids in sealing. This is accomplished through the use of an interference fit between the seat and the disc. The seat and disc can be separated by up to 85 degrees.
Non-wetted butterfly valves, unlike other types of shut-off valves, isolate the valve stem from the medium being measured. They require less weight and space than other valves, and they operate quickly and quietly. The material used for the valve body and seat can be chosen according to the environment and application.
A butterfly valve's seat material can be reinforced PTFE, rubber, or plastic. The seat material is determined by the type of media being measured, the pressure required, and the media temperature. The seat material should be compatible with the media being measured and resistant to corrosive media.
The flanged butterfly valve is the most common type of butterfly valve. It is designed to fit between standard flanges and has four holes. In universal flow systems, these valves can be used to connect pipes and prevent backflow.
Butterfly valves are widely used in hydropower plants, refineries, chemical plants, and other process industries. They are typically used in applications that require a quick shut-off and precise throttling.
Metal butterfly valve seats are used in high-pressure applications. They are more durable than soft seats and can withstand high pressure and heat. Metal seats are suitable for use with high-temperature media but may not be suitable for use with corrosive media.
Butterfly control valves are designed for low-pressure applications and provide a quick and easy way to regulate the flow of liquids and gases. These valves, which are typically operated by a handwheel or gear, have a number of advantages, including low maintenance, low pressure drop, and high performance.
Butterfly control valves come in wafer or full lug configurations. A wafer-type valve is bolted together and installed between two flanges. These valves are intended to be simple and inexpensive to manufacture. They may not, however, be available in all material combinations.
The use of an actuator is the most efficient method of controlling the flow of a fluid. A mechanical device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy is known as an actuator.
An electric motor is converted to mechanical energy by the actuator in an actuated butterfly control valve. A disc inside the valve body is rotated by the electric motor. This disc is then installed in the pipe's center. A small amount of fluid passes through the valve when the disc is rotated.
In contrast to a rotary valve, which rotates 180 degrees back, a butterfly valve rotates at a 90-degree angle. This enables faster actuation speeds as well as a smaller installation footprint.
Actuators are classified into two types: electric and pneumatic. The electric actuator creates a variety of butterfly valves such as double eccentric butterfly valve.
Every valve manufactured by AFC Valve is guaranteed to be hydrostatically tested. The pressure ratings for the seat and shell are 1.5 * for the pressure test and 1.1 * for the pressure rating. Using the tests valve, we are confident that all valves such as lug butterfly valve in water systems can be serviced properly. EN12266 is the standard that we tested. The UL/FM test procedure is followed by products that meet UL and FM standards.
A standard manufacturing process is used to monitor each stage of the pneumatic butterfly valve manufacturing process. With IPQA, AFC's quality control system was able to monitor each stage of the manufacturing process. This ensures that every step of the casting, machining, coating, and assembly process is monitored and controlled. Inadequate process control leads to poor product quality.
The wafer butterfly valve design is the result of our team's over 30 years of experience and extensive feedback from field workers. Our product has proven to be far more durable and user-friendly in the field than competing products. Each valve is built in accordance with various standards. The gate, for example, can meet EN and AS standards. Butterfly valves with double embroidery can meet EN and AWWA standards. Each product has its own set of compliance requirements.
Without a doubt, China has the most comprehensive and cost-effective supply chain. The castings are the most expensive component of the valve's water like water air release valve. China's castings are of high quality and reasonably priced. There are several methods for determining the quality of castings. The AFC valve is the best way to strike a balance between price and quality.
