Single 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 valve made from PVC material and controlled by compressed air. It contains a disc-shaped closure element that rotates within the valve body to start or stop the flow of liquid through the pipeline.

In these valves, the disc is connected to a stem that extends outside the valve body. When air pressure is applied to the actuator, the disc rotates, opening or closing the valve. The U-PVC material is commonly used because of its excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight structure, and cost-effectiveness compared to metal valves.

Where Are Pneumatic Actuated U-PVC Butterfly Valves Used?

• Water Treatment Plants:
  Used to control water flow during filtration, disinfection, and other purification stages.

• Chemical Processing Plants:
  Ideal for systems where corrosive or aggressive chemicals are present, as U-PVC is resistant to many acids and bases.

• Food and Beverage Industry:
  Controls the flow of air, steam, or liquid in sanitary process lines.

• HVAC Systems:
  Used to regulate airflow through ducts and ventilation lines.

• Agricultural Irrigation Systems:
  Controls water flow to fields and crops efficiently.

• Plumbing Systems:
  Directs water flow through pipes, fittings, and manifolds.

• Other Industrial Applications:
  Found in oil and gas production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and power plants where lightweight, corrosion-resistant valves are required.
