What Is a Double Flanged Butterfly Valve?
Double flanged butterfly valve refers to a quarter-turn valve whose ends have flanged connections. Disc rotates around the shaft opening, throttling or closing the flow. As opposed to wafer style valves, double flanged butterfly valve is installed in between pipeline flanges through bolting connections. Due to its design, it can be used in water treatment, chemical processes, power generation, HVAC, oil and gas, among other industrial pipeline systems.
How Does a Double Flanged Butterfly Valve Work?
It works by rotating the disc through about 90 degrees. When the disc is aligned with the pipe, there is an open passage allowing fluid flow with little resistance. Rotating the disc perpendicular to the fluid flow line gives the shut-off position. In accordance with application requirements, the double flanged butterfly valve may have manual operation involving a hand-wheel or gearbox or automatic actuation via pneumatic actuator or another configuration. A proper choice of material for the disc, seat and valve body provides reliability of work in the required environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Double Flanged Butterfly Valve
What is a Double Flanged Butterfly Valve?
The double flanged butterfly valve is a quarter turn flow control valve with flanges on both ends of the valve body. The valve controls the flow of fluid with a rotating disc which is connected to the pipelines through bolted flanges.
How does a Double Flanged Butterfly Valve work?
Valve regulates the flow of fluid by rotating its disc around the central shaft. A quarter turn is usually required to shift the disc from one position to another. There are three types of operation of this valve which include manual, gearbox and automation.
Where are Double Flanged Butterfly Valves used?
This valve finds its uses in water treatment plant, power plants, chemical industry, HVAC systems, process industries, irrigation and many other industrial pipeline applications.
Difference between a Double Flanged Butterfly Valve and a Lug Butterfly Valve?
A lug type butterfly valve consists of threaded or tapped lugs on the valve body which enable the valve to be fastened to the pipe flanges independently. Double flange butterfly valve has integral flanged ends with bolt holes on either side of the valve. Lug style is preferred in case of dead end services or sectional removal of the valve whereas double flange style provides rigid flanged connections.
Are Double Flanged Butterfly Valves pneumatically operated?
Yes. A double flanged butterfly valve can have pneumatic actuator mounted for the purpose of automated operations. Pneumatically operated valves are preferred for applications that need frequent cycling or where there is requirement of remote or industrial control system. It is important to select appropriate pneumatic actuator based on the valve size, torque, pressure and safety setup.
How do I select the correct Double Flanged Butterfly Valve?
Pipeline size and pressure, temperature, operating medium, material of body and disc, seat material, connection standard, flow characteristics and frequency are some of the factors to be considered for selection of double flanged butterfly valve. Method of actuation must also be taken into account for automatic operation.
