Product Description
Manual Flanged Hard - Sealed Butterfly Valve Product Details
1. Basic Category Attributes
(1) Valve Type
It is a manual flanged hard - sealed butterfly valve. It uses a handle to drive the valve stem, which then rotates the butterfly plate around the axis. This realizes the on - off control and flow regulation of the pipeline medium. It belongs to the butterfly valve category and is a common device for and regulating media in industrial pipeline systems.
(2) Connection Form
Adopts flange connection. The valve body has flanges at both ends, which are fastened to the pipeline flanges with bolts. This connection method has high structural stability and is suitable for various industrial pipeline systems, ensuring reliable connection and sealing performance.
2. Structural and Working Principle
(1) Main Components
- Butterfly Plate: A disc - shaped metal component (the rotatable part in the center of the valve body in the figure). It rotates 0° - 90° around the valve stem axis to change the flow area with the valve seat, thereby controlling the on - off and flow of the medium.
- Valve Seat: Usually a metal sealing surface (matching the butterfly plate). In some cases, hard alloys (such as Stellite alloy) may be surfacing - welded on it to enhance wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
- Valve Stem: Passes through the valve body and the butterfly plate to transmit the torque of the handle and drive the butterfly plate to rotate. It is generally made of stainless steel to ensure strength and corrosion resistance.
- Handle and Transmission Mechanism: The handle is the manual operation part. Through the gear or worm gear transmission mechanism (the gear structure connected to the handle in the figure), the manual rotation force is converted into the torque of the valve stem to realize the opening and closing of the butterfly plate.
(2) Working Principle
When the handle is rotated, the transmission mechanism drives the valve stem to rotate, and then the valve stem drives the butterfly plate to rotate in the valve body. When the butterfly plate is parallel to the medium flow direction, the valve is fully open; when the butterfly plate is perpendicular to the medium flow direction, the valve is fully closed. By controlling the rotation angle of the butterfly plate, the flow of the medium can be adjusted. The hard - sealed structure relies on the close fit of metal surfaces to achieve sealing, which is suitable for harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and strong corrosion.
3. Material Attributes
(1) Valve Body Material
Common materials include cast steel, stainless steel (such as 304, 316), etc. Cast steel has high strength and good adaptability to general industrial media; stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for media with strong corrosiveness such as acids and alkalis.
(2) Butterfly Plate Material
Mainly made of stainless steel or surfacing - welded with hard alloys on the basis of carbon steel. Stainless steel butterfly plates have good corrosion resistance; surfacing - welded hard alloys can enhance the wear resistance of the butterfly plate, making it suitable for media containing particles or with high wear.
(3) Valve Seat Sealing Material
It is a metal - to - metal hard - sealed structure. The valve seat and the butterfly plate are both metal materials, and some may be treated with surfacing welding, spraying, etc. to improve sealing performance and service life.
(4) Valve Stem Material
Usually made of stainless steel to ensure sufficient strength and corrosion resistance, preventing the valve stem from rusting, jamming, etc. during use, and ensuring the flexible operation of the butterfly plate.
(5) Handle and Transmission Mechanism Material
The handle is generally made of engineering plastics or metal materials. Engineering plastics are lightweight and corrosion - resistant; metal handles have higher strength. The transmission mechanism components (such as gears, worm gears) are usually made of metal materials to ensure transmission accuracy and service life.

7. Maintenance and Precautions
(1) Routine Maintenance
- Regularly check the sealing performance of the valve, including the sealing of the valve seat and the butterfly plate, and the sealing of the valve stem. If leakage is found, timely maintenance or replacement of sealing components should be carried out.
- Clean the surface of the valve body and components to prevent the accumulation of impurities from affecting the operation and sealing performance of the valve.
- For the transmission mechanism, regularly add lubricating oil (grease) to ensure flexible operation and reduce wear.
(2) Installation Precautions
- During installation, ensure that the pipeline and the valve are correctly aligned, and the bolts are evenly tightened to avoid uneven force on the valve body, which may affect the sealing performance and service life.
- Pay attention to the flow direction of the medium (some models have flow direction requirements). Although the hard - sealed butterfly valve has certain adaptability to the flow direction, it is recommended to install it according to the identification to ensure the best performance.
(3) Media Adaptation
- Avoid using it in media that are extremely incompatible with the valve material for a long time to prevent serious corrosion or damage to the valve. For example, if the valve body is made of ordinary cast steel, it should avoid long - term contact with strong corrosive media such as concentrated acids and alkalis.
In general, the manual flanged hard - sealed butterfly valve is a key control device for pipeline systems with harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and strong corrosion, relying on the characteristics of metal hard sealing, and is widely used in industries such as chemical engineering, energy, and metallurgy.
