What Are The Advantages Of Sanitary Butterfly Valves Compared To Gate Valves? -structural Design And Working Principle
Gate valve: Controls the fluid by moving the gate up and down. The structure is relatively complex. There is relative friction between the gate and the valve seat when opening and closing, which is easy to be damaged. The fluid resistance is small when fully open, but the opening and closing speed is slow.
Sanitary Butterfly Valve: Controls the flow of the fluid by rotating the butterfly plate. The structure is simple, and the opening and closing are fast. It only needs to rotate 90° to open and close. It is particularly suitable for occasions that require fast switching. At the same time, the butterfly valve has small dimensions, light weight, and saves installation space.
