Flange Butterfly Valve Overview

The Flange Butterfly Valve is a highly versatile valve designed for effective fluid control in various industries. With its robust flanged connections and efficient operation, this valve is commonly used in water treatment, oil and gas, HVAC, and more. Its combination of durability, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness makes it an essential component for modern piping systems.

What Makes the Flange Butterfly Valve Unique

The Flange Butterfly Valve features a rotating disc as its main control element. The valve is distinguished by its flanged ends, which ensure a secure connection to the pipeline. This design allows it to handle high-pressure and high-temperature environments, providing reliable performance in critical operations.

Key Features and Benefits

Flanged Connections for Stability.The flanged ends offer a strong, leak-proof connection, making the valve ideal for high-pressure systems.

Effortless Operation.With a simple quarter-turn mechanism, the valve provides quick and reliable control over fluid flow.

Durable Construction.Available in materials like stainless steel, cast iron, and ductile iron, flange butterfly valves are built to withstand harsh conditions.

Compact and Lightweight.Compared to other valve types, flange butterfly valves save space and are easier to install.

Versatile Sealing Options.Choose between resilient or metal-to-metal seals based on the specific needs of your application.

How Flange Butterfly Valves Operate

The valve’s circular disc pivots around a central axis to open or close the flow. When the disc is parallel to the pipeline, the valve is open, allowing fluid to pass freely. Rotating the disc 90 degrees shuts off the flow. The flanged ends ensure that the valve remains securely attached to the pipeline, even under challenging conditions.

Comparison with Other Butterfly Valves

Wafer Butterfly Valve: Lightweight and compact but less stable in high-pressure environments.

Lug Butterfly Valve: Allows one side of the pipeline to be disconnected without disturbing the other side.

Flange Butterfly Valve: Offers maximum stability and is better suited for high-pressure systems.
