A Butterfly Valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve used to regulate or isolate the flow of fluids. It consists of a disc that rotates around a central axis, allowing or blocking fluid flow. Butterfly valves are widely used due to their compact design, lightweight nature, and cost-effectiveness.
