Butterfly valve is a compact shut-off and regulating valve. Its core component is a disc-shaped butterfly plate fixed on the valve stem, which can be opened and closed by rotating about 90 °. The driving methods include electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, turbine, manual, etc. According to the connection method, it can be divided into clamp type, flange type, butt welding, etc; According to the sealing form, it can be divided into soft seals (rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene) and metal seals to adapt to different temperature and pressure conditions. The main characteristics of butterfly valves are prominent: simple structure, small volume, light weight, and quick opening and closing; The flow resistance is relatively small, and a certain degree of flow regulation can be achieved by changing the butterfly plate opening; Relatively low cost and easy maintenance. However, its sealing performance is greatly affected by pressure and temperature, and there may be trace leaks when fully closed under specific operating conditions. The butterfly valves produced by Kaiweixi are widely used in industries such as water supply and drainage, fire protection, heating and ventilation, chemical industry, and power. They are particularly suitable for large-diameter pipelines and are suitable for transporting media such as water, air, oil, and slurry. When selecting, it should be noted that soft sealed butterfly valves are usually used at room temperature and low pressure, while metal seals are required for high temperature and high pressure conditions.
