What Are The Differences Between Gate And Butterfly Valves?
Nov 17, 2018
1. Different movements
Nowadays, the open and close mode of gate valves with stable performance is to drive the valve plate up and down to achieve the purpose of valve opening and closing through the stem vertical movement. This unique operation mode can guarantee the timely cutting off of all water flows to achieve better closure. Butterfly valves open and close by rotating through the disc, thus maintaining a faster speed during opening and closing.
2. Different effects
At present, the gate valves with stable performance in the market can guarantee better sealing effect when they are used. This is because the valve plate can be directly inserted in the relevant track to receive the support force from both sides of the track. Therefore, the gate valves can better use sealing effect when they are used. The butterfly valve has a certain flow regulation function, which can be operated frequently according to the requirements. Therefore, it can be used in quick opening, but its sealing is far from that of gate valve.
3. Different directions
At present, the professional gate valve products produced by gate valve manufacturers in the market also have good use effect and excellent sealing performance, which can be used in some occasions with high sealing requirements. The butterfly valve is used in some places with limited space due to the small size advantage. The different directions of use are mainly due to the big difference in relative performance emphasis between gate valve and butterfly valve.
