Types of Butterfly Valves
There are many classifications of butterfly valves, and different classification forms can divide butterfly valves into different types. Let’s talk about it specifically.
1. According to the different connection forms, it can be divided into wafer butterfly valve, flanged butterfly valve, welded butterfly valve, threaded butterfly valve, clamp butterfly valve and so on. The most commonly used connection forms are wafer butterfly valve and flanged butterfly valve.
2. According to the different transmission modes, it can be divided into handle butterfly valve, turbine butterfly valve, pneumatic butterfly valve, electric butterfly valve, hydraulic butterfly valve, solenoid valve, etc. The most common transmission methods are handle, turbine, pneumatic and electric. The handle butterfly valve and turbine butterfly valve are collectively referred to as manual butterfly valve.
3. According to the material of the sealing surface, it can be divided into soft sealing butterfly valve and hard sealing butterfly valve. The sealing performance of the soft-seal butterfly valve is better than that of the hard-seal butterfly valve. The commonly used materials for the sealing surface of the soft-seal butterfly valve are EPDM, nitrile rubber and PTFE. Hard-sealed butterfly valves are mainly used in high temperature and high pressure conditions.
4. According to different structural forms, it can be divided into centerline butterfly valve, single eccentric butterfly valve, double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve. Among them, the midline butterfly valve generally uses a soft seal; the eccentric butterfly valve uses a hard seal. The triple eccentric butterfly valve is the valve with the best performance at present. It not only has the excellent sealing performance of the soft sealing butterfly valve, but also has the characteristics of high temperature and high pressure resistance and corrosion resistance of the hard sealing butterfly valve.
5. According to the different working pressure, it can be divided into vacuum butterfly valve (nominal pressure lower than standard atmospheric pressure), low pressure butterfly valve (nominal pressure PN<1.6MPa), medium pressure butterfly valve (nominal pressure PN2.5-6.4MPa), high pressure butterfly valve (nominal pressure PN2.5-6.4MPa) Nominal pressure PN10.0-80.0MPa), ultra-high pressure butterfly valve (nominal pressure PN>100MPa). A high-quality butterfly valve manufacturer, Tanghai Valve mainly produces low-pressure butterfly valves and medium-pressure butterfly valves.
The above is an introduction to the types of butterfly valves. For the description of butterfly valve models, you can refer to the article “Method of Representing Butterfly Valve Models”. The code name of the butterfly valve is D. The commonly used butterfly valve models include D71X, D371X, D671X, D971X for the wafer type of the soft-sealed butterfly valve, and D41X, D341X, D641X, and D941X for the flange type. Among them, X represents the rubber material. Pipes with corrosive media can be replaced with F fluoroplastics. For hard sealing, you only need to change X or F, that is, the material of the sealing surface, to H, that is, the metal material.

The types and models of butterfly valves are introduced here. For more butterfly valve information, you are welcome to visit the official website of Tanghai Valve.

Applicable occasions and application conditions of butterfly valves

August 17, 2021

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.

Butterfly valve structure principle and application analysis

July 21, 2021

Butterfly valve (also called flap valve) is a kind of regulating valve whose closing part is circular disc or disc, mainly composed of valve body, valve stem, disc and sealing ring. The valve body is cylindrical with short axial length and built-in butterfly plate. The butterfly plate of the 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° and 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. The butterfly valve has two sealing types: elastic seal and metal seal. Elastic sealing valve, the sealing ring can be inlaid on the valve body or attached to the periphery of the butterfly plate.
Butterfly valves with metal seals generally have a longer life than those with elastic seals, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. The metal sealing butterfly valve can adapt to higher working temperature, while the elastic sealing butterfly valve has 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 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 type butterfly valves and flange type 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.

How to choose the right butterfly valve (1)

July 13, 2020

When the butterfly valve is fully open to fully closed, it turns usually less than 90°. The butterfly valve and the butterfly stem itself have no self-locking capability. For the

U-type-flange-butterfly-valve-2

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 self-locking, stop the butterfly plate at any position, but also improve the valve performance. The characteristics of industrial special butterfly valve: can withstand high temperature, the applicable pressure range is also high, the nominal diameter of the valve is large, 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 gas ducts and gas pipes of high-temperature media.

Selection:
The butterfly plate of the butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. The butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight. It is composed of only a few parts, and can be quickly opened and closed only by rotating 90°. The operation is simple, 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 resistance when the medium flows through the valve body. Therefore, the pressure drop generated by the valve is very small, so it has good flow control characteristics.

If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to choose the valve size and type correctly. The structural principle of the butterfly

valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Commonly used butterfly valves are wafer-type butterfly valves and flanged butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve is to use double-headed bolt to connect the valve between two pipeline flanges. Flange type butterfly valve is to use the process of connecting the flange of the valve to the pipeline flange with bolts.

The butterfly valve has been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, hydropower, etc. as a component used to realize the on-off and flow control of the pipeline system. In the well-known butterfly valve technology, the sealing form mostly adopts a sealing structure, and the sealing material is rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene and the like. Due to the limitation of structural characteristics, it is not suitable for industries such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

An existing more advanced butterfly valve is a three-eccentric metal hard-sealed butterfly valve. The valve body and valve seat are connected components. The sealing surface layer of the valve seat is welded with temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials. The multi-layer soft stack type sealing ring is fixed on the valve plate. Compared with the traditional butterfly valve, this butterfly valve has high temperature resistance, is easy to operate, and has no friction when opening and closing. When closing, the torque is compensated with the increase of the torque of the transmission mechanism, which improves the butterfly valve. The sealing performance and the advantages of extended service life.

According to the connection method, the butterfly valve can be devided into four or five types:

1. Wafer type butterfly valve

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

The butterfly plate of the wafer butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. The valve is fully open.
Wafer type butterfly valve has simple structure, small volume and light weight. 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.

2. Lug butterfly valve

2 lug-type-butterfly-vlave-6

The butterfly plate of the lug butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. The butterfly plate rotates around the valve shaft, and the rotation angle is between 0°-90°. When it rotates to 90°, the valve is fully open.

3. Flanged butterfly valve

U-type flange butterfly valve, ductile iron, DI, center line,

Double flange butterfly valve (4)

The flanged butterfly valve has a vertical plate structure, and the valve stem is an integral type. Metal hard seal, valve sealing ring
It is a composite structure of flexible graphite plate and stainless steel plate, which is installed on the valve body, and the sealing surface of the butterfly plate is welded with stainless steel. The sealing ring of the soft seal valve is made of nitrile rubber, EPDM or VITON, and is installed on the butterfly plate. The sealing seat of the centerline sealed flange butterfly valve is directly fusion bonded on the valve body.
Flanged butterfly valves are divided into U-shaped butterfly valves and double-flanged butterfly valves according to the length of the structure. The U-type butterfly valve has a relatively short face to face structure, which reduces the weight of the valve body and saves space for use.

4. Welded butterfly valve
Welded butterfly valve is a non-hermetic butterfly valve, widely used in the construction materials, metallurgy, mining, electric power and other production processes, the medium temperature ≤300 ℃, the nominal pressure is 0.1Mpa pipeline, used to communicate, open or close or adjust the medium volume.

The electric regulating butterfly valve belongs to a variety of electric valves and electric regulating valves. The main connection methods are: flange type and wafer type, which are important execution units in the field of industrial automation control. Two major analysis points for the installation points of the electric adjustment butterfly valve: the installation position, height, and inlet and outlet directions must meet the design requirements. Note that the direction of the medium flow should be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked on the valve body, and the connection should be firm and tight. Before installing the electric butterfly valve, a visual inspection must be carried out. The nameplate of the valve should comply with the provisions of the current national standard “General Valve Mark” GB12220. For valves with a working pressure greater than 1.0 MPa and acting as a shut-off on the main pipe, a strength and tight performance test should be carried out before installation. Use only after passing the test. 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. The electric adjustable butterfly valve can be divided into offset plate type, vertical plate type, inclined plate type and lever type according to the structural form; according to the sealing form, it can be divided into two types: soft seal type and hard seal type; soft seal type generally adopts rubber ring seal, hard seal type Usually a metal ring seal is used.
