How to Choose the Right Butterfly Valve for Industrial Pipelines

Selecting the correct butterfly valve for your industrial system is critical to ensure efficient flow control, minimal maintenance, and long-term durability. JUHAN VALVE provides a range of high-quality butterfly valves suitable for diverse applications.

1. Identify the Required Valve Type

Butterfly valves can be classified by connection type, disc design, and actuator type. Consider whether your system requires:

• Flanged or wafer-style connection
• Concentric or eccentric disc
• Manual, electric, or pneumatic actuator

2. Determine Pressure and Temperature Ratings

Choose valves that match your pipeline’s operating conditions. High-pressure systems may require robust flanged valves, while low-pressure systems might accommodate simpler wafer designs.

3. Material Considerations

Stainless steel (SS304 or SS316) is preferred for corrosion resistance and long service life. For harsh chemical or marine environments, always check material compatibility.

4. Flow Control and Performance

Pinless designs improve sealing and reliability. Ensure the selected valve provides precise flow control, minimal leakage, and reliable operation under varying loads.

5. Maintenance and Durability

• Choose valves that are easy to disassemble for inspection and cleaning
• Verify long-term durability for cyclic operations
• Check if OEM customization is available for unique requirements

By following these steps, you can select the optimal butterfly valve to ensure performance and reliability in your industrial pipeline systems. JUHAN VALVE offers expert guidance and high-quality valves to meet every application.
