Butterfly valves are crafted to control or block the flow of liquids. They work by turning a central disc about 90 degrees to either open or close the valve. These valves are appreciated for being budget-friendly, easy to handle due to their light build, and for saving space. They are a popular choice for swiftly stopping the flow and find extensive application across different sectors.

Key Operational details
Butterfly valves work much like ball valves but with a simpler quarter-turn mechanism, making shut-off swift. Positioned at the center of the pipe, the disc is connected to a rod, or valve stem,
which extends to an actuator located outside the valve. By turning the actuator, the disc aligns either parallel or perpendicular to the flow. Unlike ball valves, the disc stays within the flow path, causing a pressure drop even when fully open. Nevertheless, the valve can be gradually opened to regulate the flow.
Applications
Butterfly valves offer incredible adaptability, making them perfect for various industries, such as
