Applicable occasions and application conditions of butterfly valves

At present, the butterfly valve has become the most widely used valve in the application field. Many people are not very familiar with the applicable occasions of butterfly valves. This article will take you to understand the applicable occasions and application conditions of butterfly valves, so that you have a better understanding of butterfly valves.
When the valve plate of the butterfly valve is opened and closed, there is wiping property between the butterfly plate and the valve seat, so the butterfly valve can be used in the flowing medium pipeline with suspended solid particles, according to the strength of the seal. It can also be used in powder and granular flowing medium pipelines.

The structure length and overall height of the butterfly valve are not large, and the opening and closing speed is very fast. When the butterfly valve is fully opened, only the butterfly plate in the valve body is the only resistance to the flow of the medium, so the fluid resistance of the butterfly valve is also very small. Between 15° and 70°, sensitive flow control can be performed. Therefore, according to the structure principle of the butterfly valve, the butterfly valve is most suitable for making large-diameter valves.

Specifically, the application occasions of butterfly valves are as follows:
1. In the pipeline that requires throttling, adjustment and control of flow;
2. In the working environment of mud medium and medium containing solid particles;
3. In occasions requiring short valve structure length;
4. In occasions requiring fast opening and closing speed;
5. In occasions where the pressure difference is small.

The butterfly valve can also be used under the following conditions:
1. In the case of two-position adjustment, narrowing passage, low noise, cavitation and vaporization, a small amount of leakage to the atmosphere, and abrasive media, butterfly valves can be used.
2. Under special working conditions, throttling adjustment or strict sealing requirements, or severe abrasion, low temperature and other working conditions require the use of three-eccentric or double-eccentric special butterfly valves with metal sealing belts.

The above is an introduction to the applicable occasions and application conditions of the butterfly valve. I hope to provide you with help in the use of the butterfly valve.

resilient seated butterfly valve vs metal seated butterfly valve

Butterfly valve, also called flap valve, has a wide range of uses. It is generally installed on pipelines that transport various corrosive and non-corrosive fluid media in gas, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, cold and hot air, chemical smelting and other engineering systems for adjustment. And cut off the flow of the medium. There are many types of butterfly valves, and different types of butterfly valves have different uses. Butterfly valves are classified according to the sealing form and can be divided into soft-sealed /resilient seated butterfly valves and hard-sealed /metal seated butterfly valves. Although there is only one word difference between the two types of butterfly valves, they are very different in terms of structural materials and application fields. This article will analyze the difference between a resilient seated butterfly valve and a metal seated butterfly valve.

The main difference between resilient seated butterfly valve and metal seated butterfly valve lies in the sealing surface:

The two sides of the sealing pair of the resilient seated butterfly valve are made of metal materials on one side, and the other side is made of elastic non-metallic materials, generally rubber or tetrafluoroplastics. The combination of this sealing material makes the resilient seated butterfly valve have good sealing performance, but it is not resistant to high temperature, easy to wear, and has a short service life.

Both sides of the sealing pair of the metal seated butterfly valve are made of metal materials. The metal-to-metal seal makes the sealing performance of the metal seated butterfly valve normal, but it is resistant to high temperature, pressure and abrasion, and has a long service life.

The seat of the soft sealing butterfly valve is made of rubber or tetrafluoroplastic. It has excellent sealing performance and can achieve zero leakage, but it has a relatively short service life and is not resistant to high temperatures. It is also not suitable for some highly corrosive media pipelines. The sealing seat of the hard-sealed butterfly valve is made of metal material, and the sealing performance is

relatively poor, but it is wear-resistant and has strong pressure resistance. It is suitable for strong corrosive medium pipelines.

In addition to the difference in the sealing surface, the difference between the resilient seated butterfly valve and the metal seated butterfly valve is as follows:

  1. Resilient seatedbutterfly valves are mostly center-line type. Metal seatedbutterfly valves are mostly single eccentric, double eccentric and triple eccentric.
  2. The Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is suitable for normal temperature environment. metal seatedbutterfly valves are well adapted to low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature environments.
  3. The Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is suitable for low pressure and normal pressure environment. metal seated butterfly valveis not only suitable for low pressure and normal pressure, but also suitable for medium and high pressure working environment.
  4. As mentioned above, the sealing performance of the Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is better than that of the metal seatedbutterfly valve, but now in order to adapt the hard sealing butterfly valve to more working conditions, it has a special process
  5. The Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is suitable for the two-way opening and closing of the ventilation and dust removal pipeline and the adjustment of water treatment, light industry, petroleum, chemical and other industries. metal seatedbutterfly valves are mostly used in heating, gas, gas, oil, acid and alkali environments.
