  Butterfly valve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A butterfly valve is a type of flow control device, used to regulate a fluid flowing through a section of pipe.
The valve is similar in operation to a ball valve.
Butterfly valves are widely used in water distribution and waste water processing (not recommended, as the debris may block the operation of the disc).

 A Review of Butterfly Valve Components and Operation
The general temperature rating for a resilient seated valve is 25 Degrees F to 300 Degrees F and 400 Degrees F to 450 Degrees F for a high-performance butterfly valve.
The disk is the equivalent of a plug in a plug valve, gate in a gate valve or a ball in a ball valve.
In high-performance butterfly valves, the shutoff may be provided by an interference-fit seat design or a line-energized seat design, where the pressure in the pipeline is used to increase the interference between the seat and disk edge.

 What is a Butterfly Valve?
The high performance butterfly valve, used in slightly higher-pressure systems, features a slight offset in the way the disc is positioned, which increases the valve's sealing ability and decreases its tendency to wear.
The valve best suited for high-pressure systems is the tricentric butterfly valve, which makes use of a metal seat, and is therefore able to withstand a greater amount of pressure.
One of the most common examples of a butterfly valve is in the carburetor of a car.

 Valve engineering - butterfly valve
However, "double flanged" is commonly used in the butterfly valve industry to distinguish between the normal "double flanged" valve (two flanges, one on either side) from the "lug-type" which has a "single flange" in the center.
Metal seated butterfly valves can be either damper type (somebody mentioned) with leakage rate varied usually by the valve size (very difficult to get a small damper to conform to a low leakage rate); or metal seated valves can be double or triple offset type.
However, manufacturers of triple offset valves sometimes test to API 607 and produce certificates to this spec, claiming that their metal seal is to a certain degree flexible, and hence the seat is "soft".
