The electric flanged butterfly valve is an essential component in industrial fluid control systems. It is widely used for regulating, controlling, and isolating the flow of liquids and gases in pipelines. Thanks to its unique design, which combines the reliability of a butterfly valve with the precision of an electric actuator, the electric flanged butterfly valve provides efficient and precise flow management in various industries, including oil and gas, water treatment, HVAC, and chemical processing.

What is an Electric Flanged Butterfly Valve?

A butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a disc to control the flow of fluid through a pipe. The disc is mounted on a rotating shaft and can be turned to adjust the flow. When the valve is fully open, the disc is parallel to the flow, allowing maximum fluid passage. When the valve is closed, the disc rotates to a position perpendicular to the flow, completely blocking it. Anelectric flanged butterfly valvecombines this basic butterfly valve design with an electric actuator for remote operation. The electric actuator uses electric power to rotate the valve’s disc to the desired position. The flange connection enables easy installation onto a pipeline, as it has standard flanged ends that are compatible with pipe flanges, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal.
