For many processes that involve fluid material moving through pipe systems, butterfly valves are needed to stop or regulate flow. With this mechanism, a circular disc is designed to move perpendicular to the passage from fully closed to fully open or anywhere in between. It’s...
Butterfly valves and control valves are two types of valves both commonly used in various processing applications. They both deal with the control of flow in a process, but the terms aren't synonymous. If you're wondering if butterfly valves are excellent replacements for the control...
If you work with petrochemicals at your plant, safety is constantly at the top of your list of everyday concerns. But how do you know just how safe your emergency shutdown valves are? In this post, you’ll learn how you can tell if your emergency...
A butterfly valve restrains the flow of any sort of semi-liquid or liquid you need to process, such as waste, oil, water, or gas. What makes it different from a regular valve is it has a disk that covers the passage to stop the flow...
Zero Offset Butterfly Valve - Rubber Seated The disc rotates around the center axis allowing for a potential 360º rotation. Sealing is achieved by the Disc deforming the soft seal resulting in full friction through the full operating cycle. Double Offset Butterfly Valve - High Performance To allow...
It’s important to pick the ideal device for your chemical or power plant, and the type required depends on its application. Triple offset butterfly valves are often considered the highest standard for virtually any application because they are durable, long-lasting and require minimum maintenance. However,...
Triple offset valves are less susceptible to wear and tear corrosion, and degradation, which makes them the most leak-proof and disaster-proof option for certain applications. Triple offset technology is made without materials that are vulnerable to corrosion. They’re the most durable option regardless of the...
There are huge safety risks that come with using the wrong type of butterfly valve for the temperature and pressure level of your application. Poorly installed butterfly valves can also cause problems. However, even when using a properly installed butterfly valve within its design limits...
The Butterfly Valve In simple words, a butterfly valve is a type of quarter turn valve used to regulate or stop the flow of liquids through a pipe. A quarter turn valve means that whenever the Operator is turned 90 degrees, the valve is either fully...
