What are Butterfly Valve?
The butterfly valve stands as a pivotal element in regulating fluid flow within pipelines, boasting a design inspired by the wings of a butterfly. Operated through a quarter-turn mechanism, this valve comprises a flat, circular disc—referred to as the "butterfly"—within the valve body. Connected to a central shaft, the disc, equipped with a seal or gasket, adeptly controls the passage of fluid through rotational movement.
Working:
Butterfly valves operate on a simple principle of quarter-turn rotation to regulate fluid flow within pipelines. Featuring a circular disc attached to a spindle within the valve body, rotation of this disc enables the valve to either permit or block fluid flow. When the disc aligns parallel to the flow direction, the valve opens, facilitating fluid passage. Conversely, when the disc aligns perpendicular to the flow, the valve closes, halting fluid flow. With this design, butterfly valves offer swift and efficient flow control, making them a preferred choice across industries for their reliability and ease of operation.
