Wafer butterfly valves offer several significant advantages. Firstly, their compact and lightweight design makes them highly space-efficient, ideal for installations where space is limited. Unlike traditional valves, their wafer-style body can be easily sandwiched between two flanges, reducing installation complexity and saving both time and cost.
With a simple structure, small size, and light weight, they are easy to install and save space, making them particularly suitable for the production of large-diameter valves. They feature rapid and labor-saving opening and closing, low fluid resistance, and good regulating performance. When fully open, the flow resistance is minimal, and they can achieve sensitive flow control within an opening angle range of 15° - 70°.
Applied to pipelines for domestic water, fire water, circulating water, and sewage in water supply and drainage systems to control and regulate flow.
Suitable for pipelines transporting powder, oil, and mud, as well as high-volume ventilation and HVAC air control systems.
Engineered for complex working conditions in chemical and smelting industries, offering resistance to high temperatures, pressure, and erosion.
Designed for slightly acidic and alkaline media such as water, air, and oil, delivering outstanding, bubble-tight sealing performance.
The global butterfly valve market size was approximately $11.34 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $11.907 billion in 2025. Demand from petroleum and natural gas industries remains strong, accompanied by significant automation trends across all processing sectors. Coupled with accelerated urbanization in China, immense demand continues in water distribution, sewage treatment, and building HVAC systems. The projected growth rate of China's pneumatic high-performance butterfly valve sector is anticipated to reach approximately 15% from 2025 to 2030.

Wafer butterfly valves feature an ultra-compact and lightweight body designed to be sandwiched directly between pipe flanges. This design minimizes installation footprint, lowers material costs, and enables rapid assembly compared to bulkier flanged valve types.
Soft-sealed butterfly valves are ideal for standard working conditions handling water, air, light oil, and mildly corrosive media where absolute bubble-tight shutoff is critical. Hard-sealed butterfly valves are engineered for severe conditions involving high temperatures, elevated pressures, and abrasive or erosive media commonly found in smelting and chemical processing.
Butterfly valves offer excellent flow regulation capabilities, providing sensitive and proportional control within a disc opening angle of 15° to 70°. When fully opened, the disc profile ensures minimal fluid resistance and low pressure drop across the line.
PN10 and PN16 indicate nominal pressure ratings (10 bar and 16 bar, respectively). While the basic face-to-face dimensions may align, PN16 models feature reinforced body construction, thicker flange standards, and distinct bolt circle dimensions (PCD) to withstand higher line pressures.
Yes, the valves feature standard top-plate flange mountings (PCD patterns), allowing quick and seamless mounting of pneumatic actuators, electric actuators, and manual gear operators to support remote control and automated facility operations.
These valves are versatile and compatible with domestic water, firefighting water, industrial circulating water, sewage, ventilation air, fine powders, slurries, and petroleum products depending on liner and disc material selection.
