What is a flange butterfly valve?
The flange butterfly valve usually has a cylindrical shape and is usually installed in a pipe system or as an input or output to a type of closed system and is used to control the flow of some material, either liquid or granulated, which acts as a fluid with regard to flow. The flange, when the word is used to indicate the valve, is the collar that is used as an anchor point for installation. The flange is usually pre -drilled with screw holes that connect the valve to other pipe cuts, but some can be designed to connect to the system differently, as in terminals or latches.
The butterfly valve is a cylindrical cover that can be reminiscent of a tube or disk. The metal rod passes through the cylinder when it is viewed from the end of the perspective, monitoring the diameter of the line of circles created by the end of the cylinder. The circular metal disk, which fits very exactly in the cylinder, is mounted on the rod and rotate the rod and disk assembly. The metal disk that consists of a valve vaguely Resembles and a butterfly, with a metal pole of imaginationThe body and each half of the metal disk representing the wings, and is the source of the name of this type of valve.
The position of the metal disk in the butterfly flange valve determines whether the valve is closed or open. When the valve is closed, the disk rotates to lay in a plane perpendicular to the valve flow that blocks the cylinder and stops the flow. When it is open, the disk lies in a plane parallel to the valve flow, allowing the flow of liquid or other material. The valve can be manually operated by a lever mechanism or a mechanically controlled control or hydraulics.
The flange butterfly valve has a flange or collar of the material that extends outwards from the valve body, but is not part of the valve mechanism itself. The butterfly valve, depending on the application, may have one or two flanges located at one or both ends of the valve. Flange on a flange butterfly valve serves as an anchorage point for installing the valveIlu and can be designed in a number of ways to receive different connection hardware, such as screws, latches, screws or clamps.
