We can see that the hand wheel of the valve and the handle of the butterfly valve are very similar. Some people will mistakenly think that they are the same thing, but they are actually different.
The sealing performance of butterfly valve handle and valve handwheel is different. We can see which common butterfly valve and gate valve with the same nominal pressure and nominal diameter of butterfly valve handle has better tightness and is not easy to leak. This is a difference.
These two spaces are also different, which is a difference why gate valves can be used in some places and can not be used in some places. Because of some space restrictions, it greatly increases the installation difficulty and scope of application. Gate valves have small volume and small space.
Butterfly valve is large in volume and small in space, so we need to pay attention to this point and also important when selecting. Although the functions of the two are similar, the differences between them should be understood.
The trial scope of the two is also different, and the fields involved are also very different, for example, in the gas management of the butterfly valve handle multi-purpose sulfuric acid industry.
