Understanding torque behavior of the double offset butterfly valve
Tuesday, January 15, 2019
Butterfly valves are a primary selection in case of shut-off application. It is known for its high-performance in fluid flow industry. Actuators are a very crucial part of the complete valve assembly and costs about 30 to 40% of total package cost. The selection of actuator depends on many factors, but most importantly on torque requirement. This blog discusses the hydrodynamic torque behavior of the double offset butterfly valve. Using our Control Valve Performer app, a comparative study is done to understand the hydrodynamic torque and how it behaves in case if flow direction is reversed. Get the insight into butterfly valve hydrodynamic torque for seat and shaft side flow.
