Flow direction of Valve-Butterfly valve | Feidavalve.com

A Butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve, that is used to stop, regulate, and start flow. A butterfly valve has a disc which is mounted on a rotating shaft. When the butterfly valve is fully closed, the disk completely blocks the line. When the butterfly valve is fully opened, the disc is at a right angle to the flow of gas or liquid.


The butterfly valve consists of only four main components: body, disk, stem and seat.

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 utilities 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.Normally FEIDA High Performance Butterfly Valve select RPTFE as a seat material.


The valve may be install in any position & offers tightness in both directions. Install the valve in pipe line so that the shaft of valve is horizontal possible. However, it isn’t recommended installing the valve with actuator on the underside because dirt in the pipeline may then enter the body cavity valve and damaged valve packing.


The butterfly valves are bi-directional but do have a preferred flow direction. It’s however strongly recommended to install the valves in the preferred flow direction, as it will extend the valve’s life span and will also lower the operating torque.



FEIDA is specialized in High Performance Butterfly Valve for more than 15 years. There are 2 main facilities includes 2 valve assembly & testing factories, 1 large CNC machinery plant, 1 investment casting foundry (3000T/Y) and 1 valve R&D center, equipped with most advanced production equipment and testing equipment.


FEIDA VALVE is the top ranking China double offset butterfly valve manufacture. The annual output of high performance butterfly valve is more than 100,000,000 set.


The fire safe butterfly valve is also in FEIDA VALVE product range. Our fire safe butterfly valve is certificated by American Petroleum Institute (API) according to API 607 standards.


FEIDA also build up a dustless workshop to produce ultra-clean valve for some critical working condition such as nuclear industry, semiconductor industry etc.


In the dustless workshop, FEIDA also produce the food-grade valves. FEIDA food-grade valve is certificated by Food and Drug Administration United States (FDA).

The bonds between PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption) and High Performance Butterfly Valve

图片
  High performance butterfly valves ： Generally refers to  double eccentric butterfly valve  and  triple eccentric butterfly valve ,due to their excellent working performance and high sealing ability (compared with concentric butterfly valve) are widely used in petrochemical,power plants,metallurgy,civil heating fields.Eccentric butterfly valves have the good working performacne to meeting sever and strict requirements in many different industries.Today, we are going to introduce the application of eccentric butterfly valve in air separation for making oxygen,hydrogen,CO etc. At present,the mature air separation system is PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption),it need certain number of programmed valves (valve parts usually double or triple eccentric butterfly valve) in its pipeline system to control and adjust the medium. FEIDA  double (and tripple) eccentric butterfly valve are widely used in this kind of PSA system due to the valves' excellent features: 1-Long service life,on-off 1 mill

Hardening method of metal hard sealed ball valve balls and valve seats

  At present, the commonly used hardening processes for the surface of  metal hard sealed ball valves  mainly include the following: (1) Surface welding (or spray welding) of hard alloy on the sphere can achieve a hardness of over 40HRC. The process of surface welding of hard alloy on the sphere is complex, with low production efficiency, and large area welding can easily cause deformation of the parts. Currently, there is relatively little use of surface hardening technology on the sphere. (2) The surface of the sphere is plated with hard chromium, with a hardness of 60-65HRC and a thickness of 0.07-0.10ram. The chromium plating layer has high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and can maintain surface brightness for a long time. The process is relatively simple and the cost is relatively low. However, the hardness of the hard chromium coating will rapidly decrease as the temperature increases due to the release of internal stress, and its working temperature cannot exce

Introduction to the Function, Principle, and Characteristics of Globe Valves

  Globe valves   are used to cut off the flow of media, and are suitable for situations that require frequent opening. The sealing parts of a globe valve are the valve disc and valve seat. In order to ensure a tight closing of the globe valve, the mating surface of the valve disc and valve seat should be ground or a gasket should be used. The sealing surface can also be embedded with corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials such as bronze and stainless steel.The valve disc and valve stem of the globe valve are connected in a movable manner to ensure a tight fit between the valve disc and valve stem. The lifting and lowering of the valve disc of a globe valve is generally controlled by the valve stem. The upper part of the valve stem is a handwheel, and the middle part is a threaded and packing sealing section. The function of the packing is to prevent the internal medium of the valve body from leaking along the valve stem. The function of a shut-off valve 1、 The main function o
