Cast Iron Butterfly Valve

Description

Cast Iron Butterfly Valve Trader & Supplier in Ahmedabad, Gujarat – Krishna Industries

Introduction to Cast Iron Butterfly Valve

In today’s industrial piping systems, flow control efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness are critical selection parameters. The Cast Iron Butterfly Valve has become one of the most preferred isolation and throttling valves across Indian industries due to its compact design, light weight, easy installation, and economical pricing. Whether you are working in water distribution, irrigation networks, HVAC systems, fire protection pipelines, chemical plants, or wastewater treatment projects, a cast iron butterfly valve delivers dependable performance with minimal maintenance.

At Krishna Industries, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, we specialize in manufacturing and supplying high-quality Cast Iron Butterfly Valves engineered for Indian operating conditions. Our valves are designed to withstand varying pressures, temperature fluctuations, and continuous duty cycles while ensuring leak-tight shutoff and smooth flow regulation.

A Cast Iron Butterfly Valve is a quarter-turn rotational valve that uses a circular disc mounted on a shaft to regulate or isolate flow. When the valve handle or actuator rotates the shaft 90 degrees, the disc either allows full flow (parallel to pipeline) or blocks it completely (perpendicular to pipeline). The simplicity of this mechanism makes butterfly valves highly reliable and cost-effective compared to other valve types.

Our cast iron butterfly valves are widely used alongside Wafer Type Butterfly Valve, Lug Type Butterfly Valve, Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve, Gear Operated Butterfly Valve, and Double Flanged Butterfly Valve configurations. These related valve types offer versatility across industrial sectors and pipeline specifications.

Krishna Industries focuses 100% on the Indian buyer segment, delivering robust valve solutions for infrastructure, industrial plants, municipal projects, and private contractors across India.

What is a Cast Iron Butterfly Valve?

A Cast Iron Butterfly Valve is a flow control device primarily used for on/off service and throttling applications. It consists of:

• Cast Iron Body
• Disc (CI/SS/DI depending on requirement)
• Resilient Seat (EPDM/NBR/PTFE)
• Stem/Shaft
• Actuation mechanism (Lever / Gear / Actuator)

The body is typically made of high-grade cast iron to ensure structural integrity, durability, and resistance to mechanical stress. The resilient seat ensures bubble-tight sealing and long service life.
