Electric flanged butterfly valves are crucial components in various industrial applications, offering efficient flow control in a compact design. These valves combine the benefits of electric actuation with the simplicity and effectiveness of the butterfly valve design, making them a popular choice for many fluid handling systems.
At their core, electric flanged butterfly valves consist of a circular disc that rotates within a pipeline to regulate flow. The "flanged" aspect refers to the valve’s connection to the piping system through flanges, which provide a secure and leak-proof attachment. This design is particularly advantageous in systems where space is limited, as butterfly valves are typically more compact than other valve types, such as gate or globe valves.
