Butterfly Valve Bodies
- Bodies require minimum space for installation (figure 3-9).
- They provide high capacity with low pressure loss through the valves.
- Butterfly valve bodies offer economy, particularly in larger sizes and in terms of flow capacity per investment dollar.
- Conventional contoured disks provide throttling control for up to 60-degree disk rotation. Patented, dynamically streamlined disks suit applications requiring 90-degree disk rotation.
- Bodies mate with standard raised-face pipeline flanges.
- Butterfly valve bodies might require high-output or large actuators if the valve is big or the pressure drop is high, because operating torques might be quite large.
- Units are available for service in nuclear power plant applications with very stringent leakage requirements.
- Standard liner can provide good shutoff and corrosion protection with nitrile or PTFE liner.
- Standard butterfly valves are available in sizes through 72-inch for miscellaneous control valve applications.
Smaller sizes can use versions of traditional diaphragm or piston pneumatic actuators, including the modern rotary actuator styles. Larger sizes might require high-output electric or long-stroke pneumatic cylinder actuators. Butterfly valves exhibit an approximately equal percentage flow characteristic. They can be used for throttling service or for on-off control.
Soft-seat construction can be obtained by using a liner or by including an adjustable soft ring in the body or on the face of the disk.

Corpi di valvole a farfalla
- I corpi richiedono uno spazio minimo per l’installazione (figura 3-9).
- Essi forniscono una grande capacità con una perdita di pressione minima attraverso le valvole.
- I corpi di valvole a farfalla offrono un risparmio, in particolare le misure più grandi e in termini di portata per dollaro investito.
- I dischi sagomati convenzionali forniscono un controllo dello strozzamento per una rotazione massima del disco di 60 gradi. I dischi brevettati, dinamicamente ottimizzati, sono adatti ad applicazioni che richiedono una rotazione di 90 gradi.
- I corpi si accoppiano attraverso flange a gradino standard per condotte.
- I corpi delle valvole a farfalla potrebbero richiedere l'uso di attuatori grandi o ad alto rendimento se la valvola è grande o se la caduta di pressione è alta, in quanto le coppie di esercizio potrebbero essere abbastanza elevate.
- Sono disponibili unità per l’utilizzo nelle applicazioni in centrali nucleari con requisiti di tenuta molto rigorosi.
- Il rivestimento standard può offrire una buona tenuta e protezione dalla corrosione, grazie all'utilizzo di nitrile o PTFE.
- Le valvole a farfalla standard sono disponibili in misure fino a 72 pollici per applicazioni di vario genere come valvole di controllo.
Le misure più piccole possono utilizzare versioni di attuatori pneumatici a diaframma o a pistone, tra cui i moderni modelli ad attuatore rotante. Le misure più grandi potrebbero richiedere attuatori a cilindro elettrici ad alto rendimento o pneumatici a corsa lunga. Le valvole a farfalla mostrano una caratteristica di flusso approssimativamente equipercentuale. Esse possono essere usate per lo strozzamento o per un controllo di tipo apertura/chiusura.
Si può ottenere una configurazione a sede morbida usando un rivestimento o aggiungendo un anello morbido regolabile nel corpo o sulla parte anteriore del disco.

Bio

I consider myself a real pro in the Translation Industry thanks to my experience with technical, marketing and business texts, my accuracy in term selection and, last but not least, style in target language.
I have been using CAT tools for almost 20 years, this allows me to jump easily from one to another and to be keen to explore new tools as per my customers' needs and requests. My experience:

- Manuals
- Standards (UNI EN, ISO)
- Training materials
- Brochures, leaflets, catalogues
- Websites
- Software localization
- Newsletters
- Business correspondence
- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- Business policies
- Presentations
- Press releases

Fashion industry and digital marketing are the areas in which I am working mainly at the moment.


I also offer transcreation, MTPE, SEO and copywriting services.
