Valve Components

A butterfly valve (a type of precision valve component) is a flow control device that incorporates a rotational disk to control flowing media in a process. As the disc is thin, it reduces resistance to the fluid flow. This kind of valve component consists of the body, disc, stem and seat.Advances in technology has seen the butterfly valve evolve as a favourite for varied industrial uses, especially for fluids. This type of valve component offers many advantages that include quarter-turn, openness for less plugging and good control capabilities. Other advantages of this valve component include an inherently simple, economic design that consists of fewer parts, which makes butterfly valves easy to repair and maintain. The wafer-shaped body and relatively light weight offer a savings in the initial cost of the valve and installation costs--in person-hours, equipment and piping support.Valve components are used in many industries, but chiefly for controlling fluid flow in diverse industries like food, chemicals, etc.Butterfly valves range in size from 1 in to more than 200 in and most have a pressure capability of 150-psi to 740-psi cold working pressure. The general temperature rating for a resilient seated valve is 25
