Butterfly valves are versatile flow control devices characterized by a simple design and quarter-turn operation.

Operation:

• Rotation Mechanism: The disc of the butterfly valve rotates about a central axis perpendicular to the flow direction. This rotation is controlled by an external actuator, such as a lever, gear operator, pneumatic actuator, or electric actuator.
• Flow Regulation:By rotating the disc, the valve can be positioned to either allow full flow or throttle the flow by partially obstructing the passage. The disc can also be rotated to completely shut off flow through the pipeline.

Key Features:

• Bi-Directional Sealing:Audco Butterfly Valves provide bidirectional sealing capabilities, ensuring effective sealing and preventing leakage in both flow directions, providing versatility and flexibility in installation and operation.
• Low Torque Operation:The design of the valve disc and seat results in low torque requirements for actuation, making Audco Butterfly Valves easy to operate and suitable for both manual and automated control systems.
• Compact Design:Wafer-style Audco Butterfly Valves have a compact and lightweight design, making them ideal for installations where space is limited.
• Bubble-Tight Shut-off:When fully closed, Audco Butterfly Valves provide bubble-tight shut-off, ensuring leak-free performance and maintaining system integrity and safety.

Application:

• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Used for regulating flow in treatment plants, controlling the flow of water and sewage.
• Oil and Gas: Employed in pipelines for crude oil, natural gas, and other hydrocarbon products, facilitating flow control and isolation.
• Chemical Processing: Ideal for handling corrosive fluids, these valves manage the flow of chemicals in manufacturing processes.
• HVAC Systems: Utilized in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for regulating air and fluid flow.
• Food and Beverage: Used for controlling the flow of liquids, ensuring hygiene and compliance with safety standards.
• Mining and Mineral Processing : Employed for the handling of slurry and other abrasive materials in mining operations.

Benefits :

• Compact Design : The valve's slim profile requires less space than other valve types, making it ideal for installations with limited space.
• Lightweight : Being lighter than many other valve types, it is easier to handle and install, reducing labor costs.
• Quick Operation : The quarter-turn operation allows for rapid opening and closing, enhancing operational efficiency.
• Low Pressure Drop : Provides a smooth flow path, resulting in minimal pressure loss and improved energy efficiency.
• Versatility : Suitable for a wide range of applications, including liquids, gases, and slurries, across various industries.
• Corrosion Resistance : Many Audco butterfly valves are available with materials resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for handling aggressive fluids.
• Cost-Effective : Generally more affordable than other valve types, offering good performance without a significant investment.
• Ease of Maintenance : Simple design allows for easier maintenance and repair, reducing downtime and associated costs.
• Reliable Sealing : Provides effective sealing capabilities, minimizing leaks and ensuring operational integrity.
• Adaptable Actuation : Compatible with various actuator types (manual, electric, pneumatic), allowing for flexibility based on operational needs.
