Butterfly valve:-
A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used for isolating or regulating flow. The closing mechanism takes the form of a disk. Operation is similar to that of a ball valve, which allows for quick shut off. 
Butterfly valves are generally favored because they are lower in cost to other valve designs as well as being lighter in weight, meaning less support is required. 
The disc is positioned in the center of the pipe, passing through the disc is a rod connected to an actuator on the outside of the valve. Rotating the actuator turns the disc either parallel or perpendicular to the flow. 
Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, therefore a pressure drop is always induced in the flow, regardless of valve position.

  1. What is a butterfly valve? A butterfly valve is basically a quarter-turn rotational motion valve used to isolate or regulate a liquid’s flow. The closing mechanism used in it is a disc that rotates. In addition to standard butterfly valves, DBV butterfly valve manufacturer also offers custom orders and custom assemblies for unique applications.  https://dbaovalve.com/butterfly-valves/
