Butterfly valve parts

1. Disc: It is a circular plate mounted on a rotating shaft that regulates the flow within the system
2. Valve body: Made of cast iron, stainless steel or carbon steel. It is a flanged type
3. Seat: It is a strong elastomer or a metal anti leak seal that ensures tight closure when the valve is shut.
4. Stem: It connects the disc to the actuator that enables rotation

Butterfly valve working principle

When opened, the disc turns parallel to the flow, liquid or gas flow freely around the disc with minimal blockage. In closed position, the disc turns perpendicular to the flow, blocking it completely. They generally provide bi-directional flow and shut off capability in a piping system

Butterfly valve types

1. Wafer butterfly valve
2. Flanged valve
3. Lug Butterfly Valve

Applications

This type of valve is widely used in industries due to their compact size, lightweight and the unique specifications. They can be used in

• Water treatment plants
• HVAC systems
• Fire protection facilities
• Compressed air systems
• Food and beverage industries
• Irrigation systems ( Pop up sprinkler, RAIN HOSE PIPE )

Advantages of butterfly valves

• They are easy to operate
• They are light in weight
• They generally have a low pressure drop, which benefits pump efficiency
• Can handle large flow of liquids at low pressure
• Can be used with HDPE fittings(adaptors, Reducing socket, HDPE Elbow coupling Kenya, HDPE TEE COUPLING )by connecting it via flange adapters and backing rings, ensuring a secure, leak-proof seal for efficient flow control in piping systems
• Its cost-effective compared to other valves
• They require little maintenance
• They operate efficiently across a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
