일반적으로 배관계를 통하는 유체 유량을 조절하거나 감압하는 목적으로 각종 밸브가 널리 이용되고 있다. 이러한 밸브는 작동 유체의 종류나 밸브형상에 따라 여러 가지로 분류할 수 있으나, 밸브가 유동에 미치는 저항특성, 밸브에서 발생하는 유동관련 소음진동, 기밀도, 내구 및 보수성 등을 고려하여 적절한 밸브를 선정하게 된다. 종래 버터플라이 밸브는 주로 비압축성 유체유동을 조절하기 위하여 사용되어 왔으나, 최근 다양한 방면에서 압축성 유동을 제어하기 위하여 그 활용이 증대되고 있다. 이것은 버터플라이 밸브의 형상이 매우 단순하여 밸브가 유동에 미치는 저항이 작으며, 제작 및 설치가 용이하기 때문이다.

Performance analysis of the butterfly valve in water fire extinguishing has been carried out. Performance analysis of the butterfly valve are investigated for torque characteristics, pressure loss and cavitations. The torque characteristics of disc are corrected for the angles of attack of valve disc by theoretical torque equation, and correction equation is added. The pressure loss coefficient on opening angle of valve has been formulated by applying the Carnot's equations. The torque characteristics, pressure loss and cavitations of the butterfly valve are analyzed for the ratio of disc thickness to the valve diameter. Cavitations are analyzed from the pressure loss coefficient of valve. The analysis of pressure loss and cavitation has been carried out change of the thickness ratio on opening angle of valve. These analysis data are utilize to necessary engineering data to develope of the butterfly valve.

Investigation of flow characteristics on pressure loss and cavitations of the butterfly valve has been carried out. The pressure loss coefficient on opening angle of valve has been formulated by applying the Carnot's equations. Cavitations (such as cavitation Inception, super cavitation inception, cavitation damage inception, choking cavitation) have been predicted from the pressure loss coefficient of valve. The prediction of pressure loss and cavitation has been carried out change of the thickness ratio on opening angle of valve. The prediction data is utilize to necessary engineering data to develope of the butterfly valve.

Recently, development and using a range of natural gas is widening because anxiety of oil supply is increasing. Especially, around the world, development for Storage and transportation of natural gas is rapidly growing. On the other hand, in Korea because of technology loss for cryogenic part material, key component is rely on import. LNG and LPG are the future core of natural fuels. That are getting a lot of support and it have increased the frequency of use. So it should be associated with the development of technology. And key technology about design and manufacturing for cryogenic butterfly valve are secured. In this paper, we analyze the strength evaluation for circumference pressurization type cryogenic butterfly valve using the fluid-structure analysis.

A butterfly valve is a type of flow-control device typically used to regulate a fluid flow. This paper presents an estimation of the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution, characteristic life, and $B_{10}$ life for a concentric butterfly valve based on a statistical analysis of the reliability test data taken before and after the valve improvement. The difference in the shape and scale parameters between the existing and improved valves is reviewed using a statistical hypothesis test. The test results indicate that the shape parameter of the improved valve is similar to that of the existing valve, and that the scale parameter of the improved valve is found to have increased. These analysis results are particularly useful for a reliability qualification test and the determination of the service life cycles.

This study has investigated hydrodynamic of torque characteristics for disc of butterfly valve that is used in control for fire-protection water, The free-streamline theory is applied to predict hydrodynamic of torque characteristics. The torque characteristics of disc are corrected for the angles of attack of valve disc and surrounding velocity of flow by theoretical torque equation, and correction equation is added. The torque characteristics of disc are investigated for the ratio of hub thickness to the valve diameter. The result of prediction are shown to be successful as that show typical torque characteristics of butterfly valve. Since the velocity distribution around the disc is confirmed in a visualization, it is confirmed that the free-streamline theory can be used to predict the torque characteristics of disc.

Butterfly valves have been used for shut-off and throttling-control application in many industrial fields. Recently, they are frequently used for cooling water, oil system and ballast piping system of many larger vessels. They are especially suited for flow throttling control of heat exchangers in engine room. Measurement by the PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) was conducted to investigate the flow characteristics of butterfly valve inserted within circular pipe. Flow behaviors such as instantaneous and time-mean velocity vectors are investigated. Furthermore, to reveal systematic performance of the butterfly valve, wall pressure was measured at 6 points along the pipe by digital manometer. As the valve position moves to the closed side, flow separation increases and persists its tendency downstream until smoothly uniform flow developed. The pressure loss is found to be about zero for the disk open angles less than 45 degrees, but is substantially increased for those larger than 60 degrees.

In butterfly control valve, a multi-hole orifice is attached downstream of valve to stabilize flow fluctuation. The computational simulation is conducted to analyze valve flow characteristics. The results show that the velocity distribution of downstream of valve with the orifice is improved compared to non-orifice case. Test result in site is 60% reduction in vibration.
