Butterfly valves are often used for the regulation or isolation of the flow of a fluid through pipelines with a quarter-turn action. They consist of a circular disc attached to a shaft which rotates either clockwise or counterclockwise in order to open or close the valve. Such valves are preferred for water supply and wastewater treatment, heating, ventilation, air conditioning applications in industrial use designed in compact form for low weight and fast operation. There are myriad materials available for these valves from cast iron to stainless steel and PVC. Hence there are a good many applications which can include any types of media, be it air, water, or chemicals. Butterfly valves provide good sealing, low-pressure drop, and manual or automatic operation.
