What's the difference between cut-off valve, gate valve and butterfly valve? What's the difference in the working principle?

Answer:

Stop valve, leak small, gate valve, leak big, butterfly valve switch fast
Stop valve is closed parts (valve) moving along the centerline of the valve seat, the valve stem to open or close the trip is relatively short, but very reliable cut off function, and because changes in the valve seat and the valve stroke is proportional to the amount of adjustment is also very suitable for convection.Check valve: also known as counter flow valve, check valve, back pressure valve or one-way valve, such valves are dependent on the flow of the pipeline itself flow force and automatically open and close, belonging to an automatic valveButterfly valve: it is a kind of valve which uses disc type opening and closing parts to turn back and forth about 90 degrees to open, close and adjust the passage of fluidGate valve is closed parts (RAM) along the vertical axis of the mobile channel valve in the pipeline, used primarily as a medium cut that open and close, generally do not have to do with traffic regulation, it can be used for low temperature and low pressure can also apply to high temperature and high pressure, and according to the different valve material is different in various media. The valve, the valve is the most widely used.
Gate valve, also known as gate valve, is a widely used valve. Its closing principle is that the gate sealing surface and the valve seat sealing surface are smooth and smooth, and they fit together to prevent the flow of the medium, and rely on the die shape of the top die, spring or gate to enhance the sealing effect. It mainly cuts off in the pipeline. The cut-off valve, also called the door, is the most widely used as a valve, it is popular is because the process of opening and closing the sealing surface friction between the small, more durable, highly open small, easy manufacture, convenient maintenance, not only for low pressure, but also suitable for high pressure. Butterfly valve with light characteristics, more than other valves to save material, simple structure, quick opening and closing, cutting and throttling can be used, the fluid resistance is small, labor-saving operation. Butterfly valve can be made into large caliber. Where you can use the butterfly valve, it is best not to make the gate valve, because the valve is more economical than the gate valve, and the regulation is good. At present, butterfly valves are widely used in hot water pipelines.
