What is a butterfly valve
2012-09-06
A butterfly valve is a flow control device that incorporates a rotational disk to control the flowing media in a process. The disk is always in the passageway, but because it is relatively thin, it offers little resistance to flow.
Butterfly valve technology has evolved dramatically over the past half century, as has its industry popularity. This popularity can be partly attributed to the quarter-turn operation, tight shutoff and its availability in a variety of materials of construction.
