Where can butterfly valves be used

August 22, 2022

The butterfly valve is a kind of valve used to control the fluid flow in the pipeline. It uses the disc-shaped butterfly plate as the opening and closing part, and rotates 0~90° reciprocatingly to realize the opening and closing of the butterfly valve. Butterfly valves are used in a wide

range of applications. In general, butterfly valves are suitable for various water fluids, including domestic water, fire water, circulating water, sewage, etc. Some powder material media can also use butterfly valves. This article will introduce you where butterfly valves can be used.
Butterfly valve has two obvious characteristics, large diameter and low pressure difference. Compared with other types of valves, under the premise of the same diameter, the butterfly valve is lighter in weight, smaller in volume, and has the simplest structure, and this advantage will become more obvious as the diameter increases. The cost of using butterfly valves is relatively low. The pressure bearing capacity of the butterfly valve is poor. The greater the pressure of the working conditions, the greater the damage to the sealing surface of the butterfly valve, and the technical requirements and manufacturing costs of the butterfly valve will also increase significantly.

Butterfly valves are usually used to control the flow on large-diameter pipelines, and gate valves, globe valves or ball valves are not suitable. Imagine that on a DN1500 pipeline, if a gate valve or globe valve is used, the valve needs to be made very large and takes up a lot of space, while the ball valve is not suitable for large-diameter valves. Although butterfly valves can also be used for flow regulation, in small-diameter pipelines, butterfly valves are rarely used for flow regulation. One is because it is not easy to adjust, and the other is the sealing performance of butterfly valves and globe valves and ball valves. Compared with the poor, the gate valve cannot do flow regulation. Small-diameter butterfly valves are generally used in pipelines that pass through water, such as water supply and drainage, circulating water, fire water, etc. In addition, butterfly valves are often used in places where the requirements for sealing are not particularly high, and the frequency of opening and closing is not particularly frequent.

The above is the introduction of “where the butterfly valve can be used”. The butterfly valve plays a very important role and has become an indispensable control component in our daily production work.

Advantages and disadvantages of gate valve and its scope of application

September 1, 2021

This article will explain the advantages and disadvantages of gate valves and the scope of application. A gate valve is a valve in which the opening and closing part moves along the vertical direction of the pipeline channel axis. The

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

opening and closing part is called a gate, which is mainly used to cut off the flowing medium in the pipeline and can only be used fully open or fully closed. Therefore, the gate valve cannot be used as a regulating valve to regulate flow. Gate valves of different materials are adapted to different environments and temperatures, but gate valves are generally not used in pipelines that transport mud and other media, because these media contain impurities, which will affect the sealing effect of the gate.

Advantages of gate valve:
1. It can only be fully open and fully closed. When the gate is fully open, the resistance of the fluid through the valve is small;
2. The torque required for opening and closing is small and labor-saving;
3. It can be used in pipelines where the medium flows in both directions, and the flow direction of the medium is not restricted;
4. Compared with the shut-off valve, when the gate valve is fully opened, the degree of erosion and erosion of the sealing surface by the fluid medium is low;
5. Simple structure, convenient installation and use, and good manufacturing technology;
6. The overall structure length of the valve is relatively short.

Disadvantages of gate valve:
1. The overall dimensions and opening height are relatively large, which requires a large installation space;
2. When the gate is opened and closed, the friction with the sealing surface of the valve seat is large, causing certain wear on the sealing surface;
3. Usually the gate valve has two sealing surfaces, which is difficult to process and grind, and it is quite troublesome to maintain;
4. It takes a long time to open and close.

Gate valves usually have more applications in the following areas:
1. Oil and natural gas pipelines.
2. Transportation pipeline and storage equipment of refined oil.
3. Wellhead equipment for oil and natural gas exploitation.
4. City gas transmission pipeline.
5. Tap water and sewage treatment projects.

industry, water source engineering, environmental facility construction, etc. It is especially suitable for water pipelines and used as regulation and interception equipment. Compared with the centerline butterfly valve, the double eccentric butterfly valve is more resistant to high pressure, has a longer life and good stability.
Another name: high performance butterfly valve
Applicable area: water plant, power plant, steel mill smelting, chemical industry
Features: Longer life and good stability

use of double eccentric butterfly valve:
Double eccentric butterfly valve is also called high-performance butterfly valve. It is mainly used for drainage of water plants, power plants, steel smelting, chemical industry, water source engineering, environmental facility construction, etc. It is especially suitable for water pipelines and used as regulation and interception equipment. Compared with the centerline butterfly valve, the double eccentric butterfly valve is more resistant to high pressure, has a longer life and good stability. Compared with other valves, the larger the caliber, the lighter the material, and the lower the cost. But because there is a butterfly plate in the middle and the flow resistance is large, a butterfly valve smaller than DN200 is meaningless.

working principle of double eccentric butterfly valve:
The double eccentric butterfly valve is further improved on the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve. Its structural feature is that the axis of the valve stem deviates from the center of the butterfly plate and the center of the body. The double eccentric effect enables the butterfly plate to be released from the valve seat immediately after the valve is opened, which greatly eliminates unnecessary excessive extrusion and scratching of the butterfly plate and the valve seat, reduces the opening resistance, reduces wear and improves The life of the valve seat is improved. The scraping is greatly reduced, and at the same time, the double eccentric butterfly valve can also use a metal seat, which improves the application of the butterfly valve in the high temperature field.

Structural features
1 Reasonable design, compact structure, easy assembly and disassembly, and easy maintenance.
2 The eccentric structure is adopted to reduce the friction of the sealing ring and prolong the service life of the valve.
3 Completely sealed, zero leakage. Can be used in ultra-high vacuum conditions
4 Replace the valve plate sealing ring, butterfly plate, shaft and other materials, which can be applied to a variety of media and different temperatures

Applicable occasions of butterfly valve

July 14, 2020

Butterfly valves are suitable for flow regulation. Because the pressure loss of the butterfly valve in the pipeline is relatively large, the robustness of the butterfly plate to withstand the pressure of the pipeline medium when closing should also be considered. In addition, the working temperature limit of the elastic seat material

ductile iron, DI, butterfly valve, manufacturer, center line, TH valve

must be considered at high temperatures. The structure length and overall height of the butterfly valve are small, the opening and closing speed is fast, and it has good fluid control characteristics. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is most suitable for making large-diameter valves. When the butterfly valve is required for flow control, the most important thing is to correctly select the size and type of the butterfly valve so that it can work properly and effectively.

Generally, in throttling, adjustment control and mud medium, the structure length is required to be short, and the opening and closing speed is fast (1/4 turn). Low pressure cut-off (small differential pressure), butterfly valve is recommended.

Butterfly valve can be used when there are two-position adjustment, narrowing channel, low noise, cavitation and gasification, small leakage into the atmosphere, and abrasive media.

Throttle adjustment under special working conditions, or strict sealing requirements, or severe wear, low temperature (cryogenic) and other working conditions when using butterfly valves, need to use special design metal seal triple-eccentric or double eccentric Butterfly valve with adjustment device.

5 double-eccentric-butterfly-valve-2

The butterfly valve is suitable for requirements to achieve complete sealing, zero gas test leakage, high life requirements, and operating temperature between -10 degrees and 150 degrees. Applicable medium is fresh water, sewage, sea water, salt water, steam, natural gas, food, medicine, oil products And various acids and bases.

The soft seal eccentric butterfly valve is suitable for bidirectional opening and closing and adjustment of the ventilation and dust removal pipeline, and is widely used in gas pipelines and water channels in metallurgy, light industry, electric power, and petrochemical systems.

The metal-to-metal line sealed double eccentric butterfly valve is suitable for gas, oil, acid and alkali pipelines such as urban heating, gas supply, water supply, etc., as a regulating and throttling device.

In addition to being used as a large-scale pressure swing adsorption (PSA) gas separation device program control valve, the metal-to-metal face sealed triple-eccentric butterfly valve can also be widely used in the fields of petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, etc. as replacement product.
