What are the major disadvantages of butterfly valves?

Answer:

Rubber elastomer in the butterfly valve will cause tear, wear, aging, perforation and even shedding in continuous use. The traditional heat curing process is difficult to adapt to the needs of on-site repair. It is time-consuming and laborious to use special equipment when repairing, and it consumes a lot of heat and electricity. Nowadays, polymer composite method is gradually used instead of traditional method.
Shortcoming:A. operating torque is large, such as larger diameter or high pressure, it needs to be equipped with larger actuators;B. leakage is large, ordinary type is 2%C;C. as the adjustment of some butterfly valve, its rotation angle is limited to 60. Adjustable range is small.
Also known as butterfly valve, control valve has a simple structure, can be used for low pressure pipeline valve switching control is closed parts (disc or disc) is a disk, around the valve axis to achieve the opening and closing a valve, the valve can be used to control the flow of air, water, steam steam, all kinds of corrosive medium, mud, oil, metals and radioactive liquid media and other types of fluid. On the pipeline, mainly from cutting and throttling. Butterfly valve headstock is a disc shaped disc, in the valve body around its own axis of rotation, so as to achieve the purpose of opening or closing or regulation.shortcoming1, use pressure and working temperature range is small.2, poor sealing.Butterfly valve can be divided into bias plate, vertical plate, inclined plate and lever by structure. According to the form of sealing, can be soft sealed and hard sealed type of two. The soft sealing type usually adopts rubber ring seal, and the hard sealing type usually adopts metal ring seal.According to the connection type can be divided into flange connection and clamp type connection; according to the transmission mode can be divided into manual, gear drive, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric several.
