Functional Uses Of Butterfly Valves

The angle from fully open to fully closed of a butterfly valve is usually less than 90°. The butterfly valve and butterfly rod themselves do not have self-locking capabilities. In order to position the butterfly plate, a worm gear reducer must be installed on the valve rod. The use of worm gear reducer not only makes the butterfly plate self-locking, allowing the butterfly plate to stop at any position, but also improves the operating performance of the valve. The characteristics of the industrial butterfly valve are: it can withstand high temperatures, has a high applicable pressure range, has a large nominal diameter, the valve body is made of carbon steel, and the sealing ring of the valve plate uses a metal ring instead of a rubber ring. Large high-temperature butterfly valves are manufactured by welding steel plates and are mainly used in flue ducts and gas pipelines for high-temperature media.
