BFV Valve Basics
What is EPD and what does Hawle have?
Today, the decisions taken by numerous companies and consumers are shaped by the growing importance of sustainability. Against this backdrop, the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) plays an increasingly vital role. In this article, we will be taking a closer look at the concept of the EPD, in particular its relevance in relation to Hawle E3 gate valves. We will also examine the role played by transparent information and European production in pursuing our sustainability goals.
What Is A Gate Valve Used For: A Guide For Water Applications
A gate valve is the most common valve for water supply systems. It represents a linear-motion isolation valve and has a function to stop or allow the flow. Gate valves got their name from the closure element sliding into the flow stream to provide shutoff and, therefore, acting like a gate. Gate valves are used to isolate specific areas of the water supply network during maintenance, repair works, new installations, as well as to reroute water flow throughout the pipeline.
What is a butterfly valve and where it is used in water supply?
Butterfly valves are a family of quarter-turn rotational motion valves that are used in pipelines to shut-off flow. It is often said that butterfly valves can be used to regulate the flow. However, we do not recommend doing this, as it can damage the valve disk and have a negative effect on the sealing properties. They are used in a wide variety of process media and industries especially in water supply, collection, and distribution, as well as pumping stations, and have a broad range of use cases especially in flow isolation.
