What is a Butterfly Valve?

The Butterfly Valve is essential for controlling flow in various industries, including water supply, vacuum service, compressed gas, air, and lubrication systems. It is widely used in wastewater treatment, chemical, oil, food processing industries and power generation.

3 Main Butterfly Valve Types

Valve Type

Description

Common Applications

Zero-Offset Butterfly Valve

Has a disk in the center of the pipe and a body lined with rubber.

Mostly applied to systems with low pressure.

Water distribution, HVAC systems

High-Performance Double Offset Butterfly Valve

Reduces friction by having two offsets: one at the bore’s centerline and one at the disk centerline.

Oil, gas, chemical industries

Triple Offset Butterfly Valve

Contains a cone-shaped sealing device that ensures zero leakage by preventing disk-seat contact.

Power plants, refineries, hazardous material industries

What is a Butterfly Valve Used For?

A butterfly valve is used to control the flow of gasses or liquids. The valve functions by opening or closing the passage. These valves have very wide adaptability. These include:

  • Controlling the flow of water in pipelines is known as water treatment.
  • Regulating the movement of gasses or fuels.
  • Handling corrosive liquids or slurries is known as chemical processing.
  • Maintaining temperature regulation and balancing airflow.


They are widely used for commercial and industrial applications. It is due to their rapid operation, lightweight construction, and capacity to manage high volumes.

Why is it called a Butterfly Valve?

The name “butterfly valve” comes from its shape. Its disk actually looks like the wings of a butterfly. These rotate to control the flow of liquid even gas.

  • The disk lines up with the flow when the valve is fully open, permitting unhindered passage.
  • The route is totally sealed off when the disk is closed, sitting perpendicular to the flow.

Principle of Valve Operation

A butterfly valve rotates a disk inside the valve body. It regulates the flow. The valve closes, obstructing the passage, when the disk spins perpendicular to the flow. In order to manage flow, it can also be partially rotated, offering throttling control.

5 Benefits of Butterfly Valve

  1. Compact and lightweight, allowing easy installation.
  2. Suitable for both on/off and throttling services.
  3. Low torque operation reduces energy consumption.
  4. Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
  5. Can be automated for precise control in various processes.

Where is the Butterfly Valve Located?

It is located in pipelines.It’s commonly used in systems handling liquids, gases, or slurries. 

Butterfly valves are used in hydropower stations, industrial facilities, chemical processing facilities, and water distribution systems.

They are perfect for both local and large-scale activities due to their small size and adaptability.

Can You Use a Butterfly Valve for Gas?

Yes, butterfly valves can be used in gas applications. They are perfect for controlling the flow of gases like compressed air or natural gas. It is because they can manage high-pressure systems and create tight seals. Triple offset butterfly valves are very good at handling gases because of sealing.

FAQs

A butterfly valve is small and light because it regulates flow using a revolving disk. A gate valve, on the other hand, is larger and operates more slowly since it opens or closes the flow stream using a mechanism similar to a gate. 

Butterfly valves are used in hydropower plants to regulate the water flow to turbines. They are crucial for controlling water pressure and guaranteeing the plant operates safely because of its fast reaction time and strong sealing.

It is because of its lightweight design, affordability, and capacity to manage higher flow volumes.
