Butterfly valve size
Butterfly valve size
Butterfly valve sizes can vary widely depending on the specific application and industry requirements. Butterfly valves are commonly used in various industries such as water treatment, HVAC, oil and gas, chemical, and more. They are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different flow rates and system demands.
Butterfly valve sizes are typically specified by their nominal diameter, which is the diameter of the pipe or duct that the valve is intended to fit into. Common sizes for butterfly valves can range from a few inches to several feet in diameter. Some common sizes include:
- 2 inch (50 mm) butterfly valve
- 4 inch (100 mm) butterfly valve
- 6 inch (150 mm) butterfly valve
- 8 inch (200 mm) butterfly valve
- 10 inch (250 mm) butterfly valve
- 12 inch (300 mm) butterfly valve
- 16 inch (400 mm) butterfly valve
- 24 inch (600 mm) butterfly valve
Larger sizes are also available for industrial applications. When selecting a butterfly valve size, it's important to consider factors such as the flow rate, pressure, temperature, and the dimensions of the piping system it will be installed in. Consulting with a valve manufacturer or an engineer with expertise in the specific industry and application is recommended to ensure the proper selection of a butterfly valve size.
