themselves are not self-locking. For the positioning of the butterfly plate, a worm gear reducer must be installed on the valve rod. The use of worm gear reducer can not only make the butterfly plate have self-locking ability, make the butterfly plate stop at any position, but also improve the operation performance of the valve. Industrial-specific butterfly valves are characterized by high temperature resistance, high applicable pressure range, large nominal diameter of the valve, the valve body is made of carbon steel, and the sealing ring of the valve plate uses a metal ring instead of a rubber ring. Large high-temperature butterfly valves are manufactured by welding steel plates, and are mainly used for flue ducts and gas pipes for high-temperature media.

Advantages of manual butterfly valve:
The opening and closing is convenient and rapid, labor-saving, low fluid resistance, and can be operated frequently. Simple structure, small size and light weight. Mud can be transported, with the least accumulation of liquid at the pipe mouth. Under low pressure, good sealing can be achieved. Good adjustment performance.

Disadvantages of manual butterfly valves:
1. Use pressure and working temperature range are small.
2. Poor airtightness.

Classification of manufal butterfly valve:
According to the structure, it can be divided into offset plate type, vertical plate type, inclined plate type and lever type. According to the sealing form, it can be divided into two types: soft sealing type and hard sealing type. The soft seal type generally uses a rubber ring seal, and the hard seal type generally uses a metal ring seal. According to the connection type, it can be divided into flange connection and wafer connection; according to the transmission mode, it can be divided into manual, gear transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric.

Uses and characteristics of manual butterfly valve (1)

The butterfly plate of the manual butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical passage of the butterfly valve body, the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axis, and the rotation angle is between 0°-90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is fully opened. The butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, and consists of only a few parts. Moreover, it can be opened and closed quickly by rotating 90°, and the

Introduction of manual butterfly valve:
The butterfly plate of the butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipe. In the cylindrical passage of the butterfly valve body, the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axis, and the rotation angle is between 0°-90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is fully opened.

The butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, and consists of only a few parts. Moreover, it can be opened and closed quickly by rotating 90°, and the operation is simple. At the same time, the valve has good fluid control characteristics. When the butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance when the medium flows through the valve body, so the pressure drop generated by the valve is small, so it has better flow control characteristics. Butterfly valves have two sealing types: elastic seal and metal seal. Elastic sealing valve, the sealing ring can be embedded in the valve body or attached to the periphery of the butterfly plate.

Valves with metal seals generally have a longer life than valves with elastic seals, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. Metal seals can adapt to higher operating temperatures, while elastic seals have the defect of being limited by temperature.

If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to correctly select the size and type of the valve. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large diameter valves. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

Commonly used butterfly valves include wafer butterfly valves and flange butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve uses double-head bolts to connect the valve between two pipe flanges. Flange type butterfly valve has flanges on the valve, and bolts are used to connect the flanges at both ends of the valve to the pipe flanges.

difficult to meet the needs of on-site repair. Special equipment is used for repair, which consumes a lot of heat and electricity, which takes time and effort. Today, we use new method gradually of adopting polymer composite materials to replace traditional methods. The superior adhesion and excellent wear and tear resistance of its products ensure that the repair cycle reaches or even exceeds the life cycle of new parts, greatly reducing downtime.

Installation and maintenance of butterfly valves:
1. During installation, the valve disc should stop at the closed position.
2. The opening position should be determined according to the rotation angle of the butterfly valve disc.
3. Butterfly valves with bypass valves should be opened before opening.
4. The installation should be carried out according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The heavy butterfly valve should be installed with a solid foundation.

Construction and installation points
1. The installation position, height, and direction of entrance and exit must meet the design requirements, and the connection should be firm and tight. The handles of all kinds of manual valves installed on thermal insulation pipes must not be downward.
2. The valve must be visually inspected before installation, and the nameplate of the valve should comply with the customer’s national standards. For valves with a working pressure greater than 1.0 MPa and acting as a shut-off on the main pipe, strength and tightness performance tests should be carried out before installation, and qualified before use. During the strength test, the test pressure is 1.5 times the nominal pressure, the duration is not less than 5min, and the valve housing and packing should be leak-free. During the tightness test, the test pressure is 1.1 times the nominal pressure; the test pressure lasts no less than 120 seconds during the test, and the valve flap sealing surface is qualified as no leakage.

It is used to cut off, connect, and adjust the medium in the pipeline. Has good fluid control characteristics and closed sealing performance.

2. The butterfly valve can transport mud and has the least liquid accumulation at the pipe mouth. At low pressure, a good sealing effect can be achieved. Good adjustment performance.

3. The streamlined design of the butterfly plate makes the fluid resistance loss small, which can be described as an energy-saving product.

4. The valve stem is a through-rod structure. After quenching and tempering, it has good comprehensive mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and scratch resistance. When the butterfly valve is opened and closed, the valve stem only rotates and does not move up and down. The filler of the valve stem is not easy to damage and the seal is reliable. It is fixed with the taper pin of the butterfly plate, and the outgoing end is designed to prevent the outgoing type, so as to prevent the valve rod from collapsing when the connection between the valve rod and the butterfly plate is accidentally broken.

5. Connection methods include flange connection, wafer connection, butt welding connection and lug wafer connection. The driving form includes manual, worm gear transmission, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, electro-hydraulic linkage and other actuators, which can realize remote control and automatic operation.

close, simple operation, and the valve has good fluid control characteristics. When the butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the single resistance when the medium flows through the valve body, so the pressure drop generated by the valve is very small, so it has good flow control characteristics. There are two types of butterfly valve: elastic seal and metal seal. Elastic sealing valve, the sealing ring can be embedded on the valve body or attached to the periphery of the butterfly plate.

Valves with metal seals generally have a longer life-time than valves with elastic seals, but it is difficult to achieve complete sealing. Metal seals can adapt to higher operating temperatures, while elastic seals have the disadvantage of being limited by temperature.

Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

Commonly used butterfly valves are wafer-type butterfly valves and flanged butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve is to connect the valve between the two pipeline flanges with double-headed bolts. Flange type butterfly valve is to have a flange on the valve, and use bolts to connect the two ends of the valve to the pipeline flange. There are four types of butterfly valves in Tanghai Valve company, see below:
