Product Description
I. Product Definition and Structure
The wafer - type butterfly valve is a valve in which the closing member is a disc - shaped butterfly plate and can rotate around the axis inside the valve body. It adopts a wafer - type structure, that is, there is no independent flange on the valve body. It is clamped between the flanges at both ends of the pipeline by bolts and fixed through the valve body. The basic structure includes components such as the valve body, valve cover, clamping device, valve stem, valve seat, and sealing ring. The valve body and valve cover are commonly made of materials such as cast iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and plastic; the valve seat materials include polytetrafluoroethylene, rubber, metal, etc.; and the sealing ring can be divided into seat rings and sealing rings.
II. Working Principle
The fluid is opened and closed by rotating the butterfly plate. The butterfly plate rotates around the axis in the valve body, with a rotation angle ranging from 0° to 90°. When it rotates to 90°, the valve is fully open, and the medium flow is controlled by changing the deflection angle of the butterfly plate. When closing, the clamping device presses the valve cover to make the valve seat and the sealing ring seal; when opening, the valve stem lifts and rotates the valve cover to separate the valve seat, the sealing ring from the valve stem.
III. Performance Parameters
- Nominal Diameter: Commonly DN32 - DN2000mm.
- Nominal Pressure: Mostly PN1.0 - 1.6Mpa, and there are also other pressure ratings.
- Applicable Temperature: Different materials have different applicable temperatures. For example, the wafer - type butterfly valve with rubber seal is generally ≤120ºC; carbon steel material is -29ºC~425ºC; stainless steel material is -40ºC~600ºC.
- Applicable Media: Water, steam, oil products, acid - and alkali - corrosive media, gas, semi - fluids, and solid powders, etc.
IV. Product Features
- Structure and Installation: Simple and compact structure, small volume, and light weight. The wafer - type connection is adopted, with a short axial length and small installation space requirements, but the loading and unloading are relatively troublesome. Some types (such as lug - type butterfly valves, which are a type of wafer - type butterfly valve) are more flexible in connection and use.
- Operating Performance: Small operating torque, can be quickly opened and closed with a 90° rotation, labor - saving and light - weight, facilitating frequent operation.
- Sealing Performance: Reliable sealing. The soft - sealing type can achieve zero leakage. Some adopt sealing structures such as triple - offset, with little wear between the valve seat and the butterfly plate, and have the sealing function of getting tighter when closed.
- Materials and Service Life: Can be manufactured with a variety of materials. For example, the valve body can be made of cast iron, ductile iron, cast steel, stainless steel, etc.; the butterfly plate can be made of cast iron, nylon, stainless steel, etc.; the valve seat lining can be made of NBR, EPDM, PTFE, etc. It can adapt to different media and working conditions, and some sealing rings and other components are corrosion - resistant and wear - resistant, with a long service life.
- Flow Regulation: The flow characteristic is approximately an inclined straight line, with good regulation performance, which can effectively control the medium flow.
V. Driving Modes
- Manual: Operated by a handle or handwheel, simple and straightforward, suitable for small - diameter valves and occasions with infrequent operation.
- Electric: Driven by an electric actuator, it can be remotely controlled and automated, and is used in larger - diameter valves or systems that require centralized control.
- Pneumatic: Powered by compressed air and driven by a pneumatic actuator to rotate the valve stem. It moves quickly and is often used in environments where the opening and closing speed is required or in dangerous environments such as flammable and explosive areas. There are also other driving modes such as hydraulic.
VI. Application Fields
It is widely used in pipeline systems of industries such as chemical, petroleum, electric power, pharmaceutical, food, paper - making, hydropower, shipbuilding, water supply and drainage, smelting, and energy, for cutting off or regulating fluid flow, and also has good application effects in environmental protection projects, sewage treatment, etc.
