Disc of butterfly valves: designs and materials
The disc inside the butterfly valve controls or shuts off the entire medium flow inside the pipe line. To accomplish this, the disc is turned around its rotational axis into the appropriate position, so that the flow is throttled to suit the require ments. As explained in chapter "Construction types" , the disc is turned in a concentric or eccentric way inside the valve body. When the disc is in the closed position, it bears the full medium pressure, as does the body of the valve, so it is consi
