Double Acting Pneumatic Actuated U-PVC Butterfly Valve
What is a Pneumatic Actuated U-PVC Butterfly Valve?
A pneumatic actuated U-PVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) butterfly valve is a type of butterfly valve made from PVC material and controlled by compressed air (pneumatic pressure).
It has a disc-shaped closing element inside the valve body that rotates to open or close the flow of fluid through the pipe.
In these valves, the disc is connected to a stem extending outside the valve body. When air pressure is applied to the actuator, it rotates the disc, opening or closing the valve.
The U-PVC material is widely used in valve construction because of its excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and cost-effectiveness compared to metal alternatives.
