Butterfly valve flow direction is single or two-way?

Butterfly valve flow direction is single or two-way?

Answer:

Hello, soft sealing butterfly valve is generally two-way flow, large bore with flow direction is one-way flow. Hard sealed butterfly valves are the same.
To see your butterfly type low voltage soft sealing clamp / flange butterfly valve is a two-way flow; and high pressure valve seal to choose clip / flanged butterfly valve, these are single direction flow, the valve body is provided with a flow indicator! There are so many factors that you have to say, such as working conditions, pressure, temperature, design concept and so on.
The arrow on the butterfly valve is the medium direction of circulation, generally double eccentric, and the three eccentric butterfly valve has the arrow in this direction.The butterfly valve, the valve direction and fluid flow direction should be consistent, we use the butterfly valve is in accordance with the arrow direction and flow direction of the installation.If the arrow is marked on the valve body, it must be installed in its direction. If it is marked on the handle, it means open. Depending on the internal structure, it is possible to have the installation direction required.
