Teflon-lined butterfly valves typically do not require gaskets because the Teflon lining provides a good sealing surface. However, depending on the application and the specific design of the valve, gaskets may still be used to enhance sealing or accommodate any irregularities in the flanges. It's important to consult the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific valve in question to determine if gaskets are necessary. Always consider the operating conditions and media when making this decision.

Does butterfly valves with EPDM or BUNA-N seats require a gasket?

Wafer and lug style butterfly valves don't require a separate gasket. The same gasket acts as a seat and a seal against the flanges that hold the valve in place. An AWWA butterfly is flanged and would require flange gaskets to seal against the flanges on the pipe. The seat on an AWWA butterfly valves is to provide a seal to stop the flow of water only.

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.

because this valve has a centric line through it, and control by a stem going through the disc and drive it open just like a wing of butterfly, that is why it is called butterfly valve

Where is the intake manifold runner control on a 2002 ford f150 4.2L engine?

The intake runner control is in he intake manifold. It consists of a shaft and 3 butterfly valves for each cylinder bank. The opening of these valves are controlled by an electronic module located on the back of the engine behind the intake manifold ducting on top of the engine. Each set of butterfly valves are connected to the module by a link. When the computer notifies the module to open the butterfly valves, it rotates a small motor in the module, moves the links and opens the butterfly valves. The module is very difficult to get to and you must remove the top ducting to see the links and the butterfly valves


IS butterfly valves manufactured of BS 5155 and BS EN 593 are same?

No, butterfly valves manufactured to BS 5155 and BS EN 593 are not the same. BS 5155 is a British standard for butterfly valves while BS EN 593 is a European standard. Both standards have different requirements and specifications for the design, performance, and testing of butterfly valves.
