What does butterfly valve do?

Answer:

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 closure of a valve, the main cut off on the pipe 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. 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. 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.
5, connections are flanged, wafer connections, welded connections and lugs on the clip connection. ?Drive in the form of manual, worm gear, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic linkage actuator, can realize remote control and automation.Advantages of butterfly valves1, opening and closing convenient, fast and labor-saving, fluid resistance is small, you can often operate. ?2, simple structure, small volume, light weight. ?3, to transport slurry, accumulation of fluid in the pipe outlet at least. ?4, under low pressure, can achieve a good seal. ?5, good regulating performance.Disadvantages of butterfly valve1, use pressure and working temperature range is small. ?2, poor sealing. ?Butterfly structure can be divided according to the bias plate, vertical plate, inclined plate and lever type. According to the form of sealing can be divided into soft sealing type and hard sealing type of two. The soft sealing type usually adopts rubber ring seal, and the hard sealing type usually adopts metal ring seal. ?By connection type can be divided into flange and clamp connections; press can be divided into manual transmission, gear transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric types.
[1] butterfly valve is also known as turn over plate valve, is a simple structure of the control valve, but also can be used for low pressure pipe medium switch control.[2] butterfly valve: 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. Butterfly valve used in furnace, coal gas, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, city gas, hot and cold air, chemical smelting and power generation environmental protection engineering system, conveying a variety of corrosive and non corrosive media pipeline, used to adjust and cut off the media flow. Butterfly valve categories are: handle butterfly valve, turbine butterfly valve, pneumatic butterfly valve, electric butterfly valve and so on.
