Actuation and Advantages of Butterfly Valves
Butterfly valves are a type of shutoff valve used in pipelines that are operated with a quarter-turn rotating action. Flow control with butterfly valves is a common piece of advice. However, we caution against doing this because it compromises the valve disk's sealing qualities and can cause damage. They have a wide number of applications, especially in flow isolation, and can be found in a wide range of process media and industries, such as water collection, supply, pumping stations, as well as distribution. Their compact design and straightforward manufacturing are two of their main benefits, resulting in cheaper, more lightweight, and quicker-acting final products with smaller installation footprints. Hawle butterfly valves are considered as one of the double offset type valves. The disc of this valve design is positioned at an angle of 120° from the centre of the valve body of the stem.
