What Is the Butterfly Valve Used For?

The butterfly valve has the advantages of simple structure, flexible operation, good sealing, light weight and small flow resistance. Its main functions include regulating flow, regulating pressure, preventing reverse flow and changing flow direction. Therefore, it is widely used in various fields such as food, medicine, chemical industry, water treatment, etc. ‌‌

‌Regulating flow‌

The butterfly valve adjusts the flow of the medium in the pipeline through the opening of the butterfly plate to achieve flow control of the fluid. This regulation method makes the butterfly valve perform well in flow regulation and is suitable for the control of large and small flows.

‌Regulating pressure‌

When the closing degree of the butterfly plate increases, the flow in the pipeline is restricted, so that the pressure of the medium can be controlled. This feature makes the butterfly valve very useful in systems that require precise pressure control.

‌Preventing reverse flow

When the flow direction of the medium changes, the butterfly valve can automatically close to prevent the medium from flowing in reverse, thereby protecting the pipeline system.

‌Change flow direction‌

By changing the position of the butterfly plate, the direction of the medium flow can be changed to achieve flow control of the pipeline system. This flexibility makes the butterfly valve very useful in applications where the flow direction of the fluid needs to be changed frequently.
