Butterfly Valve
Description:
A butterfly valve is a type of quarter-turn valve that is used to control the flow of fluids. It consists of a disc-shaped closure element, known as the butterfly, which rotates around a rod in the center of the valve body. When the butterfly is turned perpendicular to the flow direction, it obstructs the passage of fluid, and when turned parallel, it allows the fluid to flow freely.
Sample sentences:

- If you close the butterfly valve too quickly, it may result in pressure surges.
