How does a wafer type butterfly valve work

May 15, 2025 Leave a message

Installation and rotation of butterfly plate: The butterfly plate of the wafer butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical channel of the butterfly valve body, the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axis, and the rotation angle is between 0° and 90°.

 

Flow regulation: The on-off and flow regulation of the pipeline are controlled by rotating the butterfly plate. When the butterfly plate rotates to 90°, the valve reaches the maximum opening, and the medium can pass smoothly; when the butterfly plate rotates to 0°, the valve is completely closed to prevent the medium from flowing.

Structural features: The wafer butterfly valve has a simple structure, small size, light weight, and is composed of only a few parts. It only needs to rotate 90° to open and close, which is convenient and efficient to operate, and at the same time shows excellent fluid control characteristics.

Sealing performance: When the butterfly valve is in the closed state, the butterfly plate fits tightly with the valve seat to ensure the sealing performance of the valve and prevent medium leakage.

 

Scope of application: The wafer butterfly valve is suitable for the control of various media, such as water, air, steam, etc., and is widely used in chemical industry, water treatment, food processing and other fields. This design enables the wafer-type butterfly valve to not only have good flow regulation function, but also have reliable closing and sealing characteristics. It is a type of valve widely used in modern industry.
