Butterfly Valve

About Butterfly Valve

A butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a disc to control the flow of fluid. The disc is attached to a rod that is connected to an actuator. When the actuator is turned, the disc rotates 90 degrees. In the closed position, the disc blocks the flow of fluid. In the open position, the disc is perpendicular to the flow of fluid, allowing it to pass through the valve. These are the most simple and versatile steam boiler valves. These are also quarter-turn operated valves. quarter turn operation ensures quick operation of the valves.in opening condition, there is a minimum hindrance to the flowing fluid through the valves. This results in very less pressure drop across the valve.Due to its unique mode of operation, the valve can be actuated easily without requiring wear and tear. its advantage is its compact size which makes its installation process easy.
