A buttefly valve is similar to a throttle in a carburettor. It is used to give a degree of proportional control to a flow. A butterfly valve is a valve that isolates or regulates the flow of a fluid. The closing mechanism is a disc that rotates.
A butterfly valve's function is to start/stop and throttle (control) flow of water passing through it. It consists of a disc which is attached to a rotating shaft. The disc is rotated with the help of shaft to block or unblock the flow of water. Butterfly valve is a quarter turn valve i.e opening and closing of valve is done by turning it ¼ (90°).
A butterfly valve is used as a fuel regulator in carburetors . It is a valve which sends the air fuel mixture to the Cylinder of an engine . it is controlled by the choke used in automobiles. In simple words, it's a valve to regulate the flow of a liquid( Petrol, Diesel, Chilled water, etc.) in a pipeline to maintain the flow & pressure respectively. Butterfly valves are of different types depending upon the pipeline diameter & its application.
A butterfly valve is a shut-off valve with a relatively simple construction. In closed position, the disc blocks the valve bore while in open position, the disc is turned to allow flow. A quarter turn takes the valve from fully open to fully closed position, or opposite, and thus the butterfly valve allows for quick opening and closure.
Butterfly valves can be used for a broad range of applications within water supply, wastewater treatment, fire protection and gas supply, in the chemical and oil industries, in fuel handling systems, power generation etc. Some of the advantages for this type of valve are the simple construction not taking up too much space, and the light weight and lower cost compared to other valve designs.
The valves can be operated by handles, gears or actuators according to any specific need. We are one of the best PP Butterfly Valves Wholesalers in the market.
