Butterfly Valves VS Check Valves

Butterfly valves are widely used due to their small size, low maintenance, and versatility of their application. With the transformation of energy and the enhancement of environmental standards, the demand for butterfly valves is increasing. Yaye Industrial are Butterfly Valve Manufacturers in China who focuses on manufacturing of premium butterfly valves for industrial applications. Their valves are applied in different sectors such as oil and gas, water treatment, and power generation. Every valve is designed and manufactured to meet high-quality standards to perform well in harsh environments.

Butterfly valves are designed to the highest quality and are made from materials that can work from -40°C to 800°C. This makes them appropriate for use in both cold and hot conditions. In closed position, the disc blocks the valve bore while in open position, the disc is turned to allow flow. The valves are made from stainless steel that does not corrode easily thus making the valves have a longer life span and less frequent replacement. A quarter turn takes the valve from fully open to fully closed position, or opposite, and thus the butterfly valve allows for quick opening and closure.

On the other hand, check valves are self-activating relief valves. They operate entirely by reacting to the flow and pressure generated by the process streams in which they are installed. Also known as one-way directional or non-return valves, these devices are designed to allow fluid, air or gases to flow in only one direction and eliminate backflow. Proper sizing ensures the valve integrates seamlessly into existing flow lines, matching the inner diameter of pipes or tubing.

Every application exposes check valves to unique operating environments. One of the most pivotal considerations in check valve design is the choice of construction materials, which directly influences the valve’s longevity, efficiency, and resistance to operational stresses. Beyond materials, we devote considerable attention to the physical dimensions of check valves. The right check valve design ensures reliable performance, long service life, and seamless integration into a fluid system. As Check Valve Manufacturers in China, we work every day to provide our customers with the highest-quality products at the best possible value.
