What are the functions and uses of butterfly valves?

Answer:

Butterfly valve is fully open to fully closed is usually less than 90 degrees, butterfly and butterfly stroke itself has no self-locking capability, in order to position the disc to install the valve stem on the worm gear.Using worm gear reducer, not only can the butterfly plate have self-locking ability, so that the butterfly board stops at any position, but also can improve the operation performance of the valve.
Butterfly valve (English: butterfly valve) refers to the closure of parts (valve or butterfly plate) for the disk, around the valve shaft to achieve rotation and closing of a valve, the main cut off on the pipe and throttling role. 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.
Industrial butterfly valve features, capable of high temperature, applicable pressure range is higher, the valve nominal diameter is large, the valve made of carbon steel, the valve plate sealing ring using metal rings instead of rubber rings. Large high temperature butterfly valve welded by steel plate, mainly used for high temperature smoke duct and gas pipe.Construction: mainly composed of valve body, valve stem, disc and sealing ring. The valve body is cylindrical and has short axial length and is internally provided with a plate.
