Butterfly Valves: On Off or Regulating Valves?
Butterfly valve is a kind of commonly used industrial valves, with the advantages of small size, light weight, flexible operation, etc. It is widely used in many industries. So is a butterfly valve a switching valve or a regulating valve? In this article, DELCO Valve will answer this question from the working principle, characteristics and application areas of butterfly valve.
Working Principle of Butterfly Valve
When the valve is open, the butterfly plate rotates along the valve seat, and the fluid can flow freely through the valve; when the valve is closed, the butterfly plate is perpendicular to the fluid flow direction, thus blocking the fluid in the pipeline. Therefore, from this point of view, butterfly valve can be regarded as a kind of on-off valve.
However, unlike an ordinary on/off valve, the butterfly valve’s butterfly plate can regulate the flow to a certain extent. By adjusting the angle of the butterfly plate during the opening of the valve, the amount of fluid flow can be controlled. Therefore, butterfly valve can also be regarded as a regulating valve in some cases.
Butterfly Valve Features
- Butterfly valve has both the fast switching function of a switching valve and the flow control ability of a regulating valve. It has the following main features:
- Simple structure: butterfly valve is mainly composed of valve body, valve plate, valve stem and sealing ring, light weight, easy installation and maintenance.
- Simple operation: the opening and closing action is intuitive, only need to rotate 90 ° to complete the switching operation, the operating torque is small, especially suitable for manual operation, easy to operate and maintain.
- Flow regulation function: widely used in the field of large-diameter regulation, with good flow regulation characteristics.
- Corrosion resistance: the use of high-performance elastic materials as seals ensures a good sealing effect, while synthetic rubber and polymer polymerization materials, making the butterfly valve has good corrosion resistance, suitable for a variety of harsh environments.
Application of Butterfly Valve
- Chemical field: as a commonly used regulating valve, butterfly valve is widely used in chemical reaction equipment and pipelines, which can effectively prevent the leakage of chemical substances.
- Food and pharmaceutical field: to ensure the hygiene and safety of food and drugs, simple operation, to meet the requirements of rapid response.
- Wastewater treatment: prevent leakage of wastewater and odor emission, ensure the effect of wastewater treatment.
Summary
Butterfly valve can be regarded as both a switching valve and a regulating valve. It has the function of fast switching of on/off valve, and also can control the flow and pressure by adjusting the angle of butterfly plate.
