Valve member for a butterfly valve

The valve member comprises a sealing disc (1) having opposed trunnions (2) at or adjacent one face of the disc to provide an offset axis of rotation for said disc within the valve body (5), and a load-equalising member (3) connecting the trunnions to provide, in combination with said disc, an anti-d...

Zusammenfassung:The valve member comprises a sealing disc (1) having opposed trunnions (2) at or adjacent one face of the disc to provide an offset axis of rotation for said disc within the valve body (5), and a load-equalising member (3) connecting the trunnions to provide, in combination with said disc, an anti-deformation arrangement which, in use, restricts flexing of said disc. Preferably the valve member is designed so that the fluid flow is towards that face of the disc opposite to said one face, in which case, said load-equalising member acts in tension. Said load-equalising member is preferably of fixed construction, e.g. a flat plate (3), and may incorporate means (7) Fig. 3, (not shown) for preloading.
