Butterfly valve body: Butterfly valves generally have bodies that fit between two pipe flanges,
the most common being lug and wafer body design.
Butterfly valve disk: The disk is how the valve stops flow – it is equivalent to a plug in a plug
valve, a gate in a gate valve or a ball in a ball valve. There are variations in disk design and
orientation in order to improve flow, sealing and/or operating torque.
Butterfly valve Stem: The stem of the butterfly valve may be a one-piece shaft or a two-piece
(split-stem) design. The stem in most resilient seated designs is protected from the media, thus
allowing an efficient selection of material with respect to cost and mechanical properties.
Butterfly valve Seat: The seat of a resilient-seat butterfly valve utilises an interference fit
between the disk edge and the seat to provide shutoff. The material of the seat can be made
from many different elastomers or polymers. The seat may be bonded to the body or it may be
pressed or locked in.
Their reliability and reduced maintenance requirements of Butterfly valves make them popular.
Their reduced level of wear allows the useful life of the valve to be longer. This reduces direct
operating costs and cuts the hours of time required for valve maintenance.
Butterfly valves are easier to handle and install into an application due to their light
weight and reduced space requirements.
Butterfly valves have significantly smaller face-to-face dimensions than gate valves,
making them an ideal valve for small spaces.
Butterfly valves are easier to operate and reduce in faster opening and shut-off – only a
quarter turn is needed to fully open and close the valve.
Butterfly valves have much shorter shafts than gate valves, meaning there are less
problems with access.
Butterfly valves are generally cheaper due to less expensive requirements and less weight
