What's the difference between a clip type turbine butterfly valve and a flanged turbine butterfly valve?
The clamp and flange are the two connections.The clip type is cheaper and the price is approximately 2/3 of the flange.The length of the clip type valve bolt is longer, and the requirement of construction accuracy is higher. If the flange on both sides is wrong, the bolt will be subjected to greater shearing force, and the valve will leak easily.
The clip type valve bolts are generally longer, in high temperature conditions, bolt expansion may lead to leakage, so the high temperature conditions are not suitable for large diameter.But for the end and downstream pipeline occasions need to remove the clip on butterfly valve is generally not, because when the downstream flange dismounting clamp down, the valve will fall down, it must do in order to remove the nipple, and the flange type butterfly valve does not exist on the surface of the problem, but the cost will be relatively high.
For clip butterfly valves, there are no flanges at the ends of the butterfly valve. There are only a few guide bolts. The valve is connected with the end flange with a set of bolts / nuts.In contrast, the demolition to facilitate some of the lower cost of the valve, but the drawback is that a sealing surface problems, the two sealing surfaces have to be taken apart.Flange butterfly valve at both ends of the flange, and pipe flange connection. The seal is relatively more reliable, but the valve is of relatively high cost.
