What is an Industrial Butterfly Valve?
Butterfly valve is a simple design and easy to operate industrial valve, widely used in the need for rapid opening and closing of pipe systems. The core component of the butterfly valve is a disc-shaped butterfly plate that controls the flow of fluid by rotating around a central axis. When the butterfly plate is parallel to the direction of the fluid, the fluid can pass freely. When the disc is rotated perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, the flow of the fluid is completely blocked. Butterfly valves are compact and lightweight, making them ideal for large diameter piping systems such as water treatment and HVAC systems. Butterfly valves can be operated manually or equipped with actuators for automated control and are ideal for industrial fluid control.
