A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter turn valves. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it completely blocks off the passageway. When the valve is open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn so that it allows unrestricted passage. The position of the disc is effected from outside the valve. And the Steel butterfly valve is one kind of butterfly valve , the main material is steel.

∙ 13y agoa valve is used for regulating the flow of a fluid by opening, closing or partially obstructing a passegway
:)
The correct answer would be as followsA "valve" can be used for positive shut off such as a gate or ball valve valveA Glove pattern valve is used for throttling and a needle valve is used fro fine adjustments such as use on oxygen and combustible lines.
Then there are check valves which in theory prevent back flow of mediums such as liquid or air
There are Leslie valves for example that are pressure reducing valves for steam stations..
For example the pressure a structure maybe as high as 125# and to make it more manageable one would use pressure reducing valves.
There is no one valve fits all applications

∙ 11y agoFor certain high volume low pressure flow applications, butterfly valves or pneumatic controlled flapper valves are more than adequate to throttle the flow.
For high pressure and low flow control applications hydraulic blocks, balanced valves, needle valves and globe valves are preferred.

Disadvantages of butterfly valve?
The use of butterfly valves for control applications is limited to the valve opening range between 30 degrees to 70 degrees. Throttling using butterfly valves is limited to low pressure drop applications. Potential cavitation is a concern when butterfly valves are used. Also possibility of a choked flow is a concern.

Which valve is the preferred valve to use as flow control valve at the pump discharge 8 inch size ball valve can be used for the same application?
I would use a butterfly valve to set the flow and a pitot tube to measure it. Nexus Valve makes a good one and it is price competetive as well.
Were those tps140 go on a Saturn 2001twin cam 24 valve 3.0 liter v6 i looked every were?
The throttle position sensor is a device that signals the position of the butterfly valve of the throttle body. The throttle body is the part that is between the air intake and the intake manifold. Disconnect the air intake from the throttle body then have someone press the accelerator pedal. Watch the butterfly valve open and close as your assistant presses down and lets up on the pedal and you should see the butterfly valve moving. On the end of the rod that passes through the butterfly valve should be a sensor that detects the position of the butterfly valve. THAT is the TPS. There will be an electrical connector.
