I. Structure and Form of Butterfly Valves

The Detson butterfly valve is a type of valve used to regulate and cut off the fluid in pipelines. Its structural features lie in the small diameter, thin thickness and light weight of the valve body. The closing mechanism of this valve is a large butterfly-shaped plate, which can rotate back and forth in the valve pipe diameter channel to achieve the functions of opening and closing. The butterfly plate of a butterfly valve is shaped like a disc-shaped disc, hence the name "butterfly valve".

Ii. Historical Background of Butterfly Valves

As early as the 4th century BC, the ancient Greeks had already begun to use simple butterfly valves. These butterfly valves consist of a pair of metal plates and are used to control water flow. At that time, this kind of valve was called a "butterfly valve", meaning "a valve that dances like a butterfly". With the advancement of technology and the development of industry, the structure and materials of butterfly valves have been continuously improved and they are widely used in various fields.


Iii. Reasons for the Naming of Butterfly Valves

The butterfly valve is so named mainly because its structure and shape are similar to those of a butterfly. This type of valve features a butterfly-shaped appearance and dynamic characteristics. Over time, the "butterfly valve" gradually evolved into the current "butterfly valve". In addition, butterfly valves have a simple structure, are easy to use, and have excellent sealing performance. Therefore, they have been widely applied in various occasions.


In conclusion, the Detenson butterfly valve is a common type of valve, and its name is derived from the shape of a butterfly. With the development of technology, the application fields of butterfly valves have become increasingly extensive, and they have become indispensable important equipment in industries, construction and other fields.
