What is the difference between lug and wafer butterfly valves?
Lug and wafer butterfly valves are two types of quarter-turn valves commonly used in industrial applications to control the flow of fluids or gases. The main difference between them lies in their design and how they are installed.
A lug butterfly valve has threaded inserts, or "lugs," that are located on the valve's outer diameter. These lugs are used to secure the valve to the pipeline flange with bolts or studs. Lug butterfly valves are typically used in applications that require a higher pressure rating, as the lugs provide additional support and help to prevent the valve from being blown out of the pipeline.
A wafer butterfly valve, on the other hand, is designed to fit between two pipeline flanges without the need for additional hardware. The valve is held in place by the flanges and bolts or studs that pass through the flange holes and the valve body. Wafer butterfly valves are generally lighter and more compact than lug butterfly valves, making them more suitable for applications where space is limited.
Middleeast valve is famous for Lug butterfly valve supplier in Dubai and is available in a range of sizes and pressure ratings. The choice between the two will depend on the specific application requirements, including the pressure, temperature, flow rate, and available space.
