Common Applications of Butterfly Valves

Whether it’s for commercial or personal use, choosing the right valve to regulate fluid flow is important. Butterfly valves are one of the best types of valves to use for this purpose, due to their simple but effective design, relatively low cost, and low-maintenance qualities.


Ships/ Ship Building

Butterfly valves are commonly used in ships because of their high durability in saltwater when ABS approved materials are selected. This type of valve effectively creates a water-tight shutoff in the piping system of a ship, preventing any flow in the pipe. Their small size also allows them to be used in tight spaces common on board. They can be used for “jack up” rigs, ballast systems, ship side, and many other applications. Fire Safe approved valves are also necessary for many applications. Automation is easy and may be pneumatic, “ closed loop” pneumatic under water, electric and hydraulic. Be sure to use valves with ISO-5211 mounting pad AND stem, so in any port, you can find a replacement valve that would be a drop in replacement. Be wary of valves that just have a ISO-5211 mounting pad as the stems are often manufacturers “special”.
