Overview
A clamp-type butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotary motion device designed for flow regulation or isolation. It typically features a disc rotating within a circular body, secured via a wafer-style clamp connection that aligns with standard pipe flanges.
Application
- Water Treatment: Municipal supply and wastewater systems requiring cost-effective throttling.
- Chemical Processing: Handling corrosive fluids in low-to-medium pressure pipelines.
- HVAC: Airflow control in large-scale ventilation ducts.
Precautions
- Safety: Ensure proper gasket alignment to prevent leaks under pressure.
- Maintenance: Conduct periodic inspections of the disc seal and shaft for wear.
- Replacement: Replace seals immediately if leakage occurs during cycling.
