Differences between API609 Category A and Category B
Aug 19,2022
API 609 is the American design standard forbutterfly valves, which is divided into Category A and B. Category A valves are "concentric" type. Also known as rubber lined butterfly valves. These are popular in low pressure systems (Class 150 or less), relatively lower cycle life, rubber liners are also good for abrasive slurry services. Category B valves are "offset" type, meaning the shaft is offse...

What is Category B butterfly valves?
Aug 3,2022
A butterfly valve, abbreviated as BTFLV, is a quarter turn valve (90° or less) with a circular disk as its closing element. The standard design has the valve stem running through the disk, giving a symmetrical appearance. Other designs offset the stem. Advantages include less wear and tear on the disk and seats, and tighter shut-off capabilities. When space is limited, some...

WHAT IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE OR DOUBLE OFFSET BUTTERFLY VALVE?
Jul 14,2022
High Performance Butterfly Valves use a disc offset from the seat center, hence the name Double Offset. In this configuration, the disc is eccentric, or offset, from the valve seat. As the disc starts to rotate, it moves away from the seat instead of across it. This design actually uses the line pressure to help give it its seal. This feature allows the use of offset butterfly valves in high‐press...

Butterfly Valves – An Economical Choice - High Performance Butterfly Valve
Apr 15,2022
Butterfly valves are a great (and less expensive) alternative to globe and other control valves in applications where 1-2% accuracy is acceptable. Process conditions will dictate whether a resilient seated or high performance butterfly valve should be selected. A resilient seated butterfly valve is the most economical choice. If pressures and temperatures are not extreme, this type of valve should...

An Overview of Butterfly Valves
Jan 21,2022
HIGH PERFORMANCE BUTTERFLY VALVE (also called double offset) have two offsets: The first offset of stem is off center to or behind the disc seating face, followed by the second offset, which shifts the stem off centerline of the pipeline. This double offset creates camming action, moving the disc away from the seat rather than across it, reducing rubbing between the disc and seat as seen in concen...
