The butterfly valve is characterized by being fast acting as it is ¼ turn and controls circulation by means of a circular disc, with the axis of its orifice at right angles to the direction of circulation.
Applications:
General service, liquids, gases, semi-liquid pastes, liquids with solids in suspension
Recommended for:
- Service with total opening or total closing.
- Service with strangulation.
- For frequent operation.
- When positive shear is required for gases or liquids.
- When only a minimum of fluid trapped in the pipeline is allowed.
These valves are low pressure and very simple and versatile designs.
It allows them to adapt to a wide range of sizes, pressures, temperatures and connections and can operate with all types of fluids, gas and even solids.
Its configuration allows the valve to be free of wear due to friction of the components and allows the passage of solids in suspension, in addition, it opposes a low pressure loss when it is open.
