A butterfly valve is a type of valve used in a wide range of applications. It is a quarter-turn rotary motion valve that uses a disc-shaped closure element to control the flow of a fluid. The disc is positioned in the center of the pipe and is connected to a rod that passes through the valve body. When the rod is turned, the disc either opens or closes, allowing or preventing the flow of the fluid. Butterfly valves are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, water and wastewater, chemical, and power generation. The butterfly valve market is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing demand for efficient and reliable valves. The growing demand for energy-efficient valves and the increasing need for automation in various industries are some of the factors driving the growth of the market. Some of the major companies in the butterfly valve market include Flowserve Corporation, Emerson Electric Co., Metso Corporation, Velan Inc., Crane Co., Kitz Corporation, and AVK Holding A/S.
