Definition of a lug butterfly valve: The lug butterfly valve is named for the lugs on both ends of its valve. The lugs of the valve can be fixed to the pipeline to prevent the valve from wobbling or falling off when in use and can also act as a seal. The sealing performance of the lug butterfly valve is very good, which can prevent leakage, and it also has good flow characteristics with low flow resistance, which will not affect the flow of the pipeline. The lug butterfly valve is widely used in the pipeline system of chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, water treatment, electric power, food, and other industries and is a cost-effective valve product. The lug butterfly valve can be driven by manual, electric, pneumatic, and other driving methods, which can be selected according to different working conditions. In addition, the lug butterfly valve can achieve two-way sealing; that is to say, good sealing performance can be achieved in both positive and negative directions. What are the advantages of the lug butterfly valve?

Why is it necessary to install and set up an air vent in a water supply pipe? Air venting valves are essential for pipelines as they are used to quickly remove gas from the pipeline, to improve the efficiency of water conveyance equipment and to protect the pipeline from deformation and rupture. It is installed at the outlet of the pump or in the water distribution line to remove a large amount of air from the pipe to improve the efficiency of the water pipe and pumping machine, and in case of negative pressure in the pipe, the valve can quickly suck in air to keep the line damaged by negative pressure. When the pump stops working, negative pressure will be generated at any time and the float will drop at any time to ensure the safety of the pipeline by sucking in a large amount of air. When the air is discharged, the float pulls down one end of the lever due to gravity, when the lever is in a tilted state, a gap appears in the contact part of the lever and the air discharge hole. The air is discharged through this gap by the...
Introduction If you’re getting a new pipe installed, you might have noticed there are different types of valves available. Some of them are much easier to install than others. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of installing a lug butterfly valve—a type that’s designed to be easy and quick. 1. Disconnect the power. In order for you to safely install a lug butterfly valve, you will need to disconnect the power. This is because the lug butterfly valve is water and electrical hazard. To be safe, you should completely shut down any power to the valve and make sure all water connections are unplugged from their respective valves. 2. Unscrew the lug valve from the pipe. You can use various types of wrenches to unscrew the lug valve from the pipe. The most common options are: ①A wrench with a single handle that turns in either direction ②A wrench with two handles, one on each end (this is sometimes called a “combination” or “offset” wrench) ③A crescent wrench, which has the same shape as a pipe wrench except it’s small and can fit into tight spaces You may also be able to use ratcheting wrenches, which have...
Introduction: A butterfly valve, also called a flap valve, is a simple structure of the regulating valve, that can be used for low-pressure pipeline media switch control of the butterfly valve refers to the closing member (valve flap or butterfly plate) for the disc, rotating around the valve shaft to achieve the opening and closing of a valve. The valve can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, slurry, oil, liquid metal, and radioactive media. The pipeline mainly plays a cutting-off and throttling role. The butterfly valve opening and closing member is a disc-shaped butterfly plate, which rotates around its own axis in the valve body to open and close or regulate the purpose. The butterfly valve is usually less than 90° from fully open to fully closed, and the butterfly valve and the butterfly stem itself have no self-locking ability, so for the positioning of the butterfly plate, a worm gear reducer is added to the stem. The use of a worm gear reducer can not only make the butterfly plate have the self-locking ability and make the butterfly plate stop at any position, but also improve...

Butterfly valve selection, first of all, according to successful engineering practice, relevant laws, and regulations, choose the appropriate structure, material, and pressure level to ensure that the butterfly valve is safe and reliable. Structure type ①The flow characteristics of the butterfly valve are approximately linear, whether it is midline type or eccentric type, the difference is not very big. The midline type is suitable as a regulating and small diameter process valve. ②How to choose double eccentric and triple eccentric butterfly valves, both structures have the characteristics of being able to disengage quickly and close tighter and tighter, so how to choose the two structures? As a soft seal with double eccentric, it is more convenient in processing and manufacturing. The triple eccentric is more complicated to process and manufacture, but it is more prominent in the tightening characteristics, and it is not easy to produce interference, so it is more suitable for metal hard seals. At present, there is no comprehensive analysis in the market, that what is recommended to use three eccentric metal hard seal is not right, especially on the large-diameter room temperature water system is recommended use, there is no need. Because the metal hard seal...
How does the electric butterfly valve work?
