Over the years, butterfly valves have become increasingly popular due to the thin profile between their flanges. The butterfly valve weighs less than other valves and has a smaller footprint and lower initial cost. A butterfly valve is a flow regulating disc valve in which the obturator rotates about an axis that is at right angles to the direction of flow. In other words, the butterfly valve consists of a disc in which a rod is constructed by an intermediate or additional offset. When opened, the valve flaps 90 degrees in the valve bore, in line with the direction of fluid flow, and the fluid passes smoothly; the butterfly valve…

Pros and Cons of Diaphragm valve and Globe Valve
Diaphragm valve Diaphragm valves consists of a valve body with two or more ports, a diaphragm, and a “weir or saddle” or seat upon which the diaphragm closes the valve. The diaphragm valve was initially developed for industrial applications and pipe-organs. Later on the design was adapted for use in the bio-pharmaceutical industry by using compliant materials that can withstand sanitizing and sterilizing methods. What’s more, sanitary diaphragm valves are specially designed with the highest standard for applications in manufacturing of medicine and food. Diaphragm valves use a corrosion-resistant lining valve body and a corrosion-resistant diaphragm to replace the valve plug components, and control the medium by moving the diaphragm.…
