ELITE FLOW CONTROL UK specialize in providing high-quality butterfly valves for a wide range of applications. As a leading supplier and exporter based in the UK, we are committed to delivering top-notch products that meet international standards and exceed customer expectations.
Butterfly Valves:
- Design Variations:
- Wafer Style: These valves are designed to fit between two flanges, with the valve body forming a wafer-like shape. They are lightweight and less expensive but rely on the flange bolts for alignment and sealing.
- Lug Style: Also fits between flanges but has threaded inserts (or lugs) on the valve body that allow for easier installation and removal without disrupting the piping system.
- Double Eccentric: The disc rotates on an offset axis from the valve stem axis and the pipe axis, reducing friction and wear, and improving sealing performance.
- Triple Offset: Features an additional offset where the sealing surface is machined into a conical shape, providing a bubble-tight shut-off even in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
- Applications:
- General Purpose: Used in a wide range of industries including HVAC, water treatment, chemical processing, and power generation.
- Large Diameter: Commonly used in applications where large flow volumes need to be controlled, such as in pipelines and cooling systems.
- High-Performance: Triple offset butterfly valves are particularly suited for demanding applications requiring tight shut-off and resistance to wear and corrosion.
Butterfly valves are chosen for their simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in a wide range of applications. The specific design and type of butterfly valve selected depend on factors such as the type of fluid, pressure and temperature conditions, and operational requirements.
