Concentric Butterfly Valve Rubber Seated

A concentric butterfly valve with a rubber-seated design is a type of industrial valve commonly used for regulating or isolating the flow of fluids in pipelines. Here's a brief overview of the key features and characteristics of this type of valve:Concentric Design: In a concentric butterfly valve, the center of the stem and the center of the disc are aligned, creating a circular concentric shape when the valve is closed. This design allows for a streamlined flow path and minimal pressure drop across the valve.Butterfly Valve: The valve uses a disc, or "butterfly," that is attached to a central stem. When the valve is fully open, the disc is positioned parallel to the direction of flow, allowing unobstructed flow. When the valve is closed, the disc is rotated perpendicular to the flow, effectively blocking the flow.Rubber-Seated: The valve features a rubber seat, which serves as the sealing element between the disc and the valve body. The rubber seat ensures a tight shut-off when the valve is closed, preventing leakage and providing a bubble-tight seal.Suitable Applications: This type of valve is often used in a wide range of industries, including water and wastewater treatment, HVAC systems, chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, and general industrial applications.Actuation: Concentric butterfly valves can be operated manually using a hand lever or gear operator, or they can be automated with electric or pneumatic actuators for remote or automatic operation.When specifying a concentric butterfly valve with a rubber-seated design, factors such as valve size, pressure rating, temperature range, flow characteristics, and material compatibility with the media being handled should be carefully considered.
