Butterfly Valves Saudi Arabia Guide Types and Uses

BUTTERFLY VALVES SAUDI ARABIA GUIDE Understanding industrial valves for flow control and pipeline systems INTRODUCTIO • Butterfly valves are quarter-turn valves used to control Nor isolate fluid flow in pipelines. • They are widely used in many industries due to their compact size, low cost, and fast operation. • In Saudi Arabia, these valves are vital in sectors like water, oil & gas, chemical processing and power generation. WHAT IS A BUTTERFLY VALVE? • A valve with a rotating disc that opens or closes flow with a 90° turn. • When open, the disc aligns with the flow; when closed, it blocks flow. • Operated manually, pneumatically or electrically. HOW BUTTERFLY VALVES • The disc is mounted on a shaft inside the valve body. W• ROotaRtinKg the shaft turns the disc for on/off or throttling control. • Quick quarter-turn action makes them efficient in many systems. MAIN TYPES BY DESIGN • Wafer Butterfly Valves • Fits between flanges and lightweight for easy installation. • Lug Butterfly Valves • Has threaded lugs enabling one-side SPECIALIZED TECHNICAL • Concentric Valves T•YDPiscE aSnd shaft are aligned centrally; ideal for low- pressure systems. • Eccentric Valves (Double/Triple Offset) • Offsets reduce friction and improve sealing, ideal for high pressure/temperature MATERIALS USED • Cast iron & ductile iron — general applications. • Stainless steel — for corrosion resistance. • Special alloys & metal liners — high temperature and aggressive fluids. • Rubber or elastomer seats for tight sealing in low- temperature systems. ADVANTAGES OF BUTTERFLY V•ACoLmVpaEcSt & lightweight — easier to install and support. • Fast operation — quick on/off with a 90° turn. • Low maintenance — simple design reduces upkeep. • Cost-effective — generally less expensive than other valves. • Versatile applications in many industries.
