Abstract

Butterfly valves are used for controlling or regulating the flow through pipes in wide variety of applications
such as in fire protection, HVAC, Plumbing services, marine, oil and gas field etc. This paper describes about designing
a grooved type 6-inch offset disc butterfly valve which can withstand 300psi pressure and adhere to UL and FM
guidelines. Initially benchmarking process was carried out to analyze the performance of the competitor’s valve. Reverse
engineering of benchmarked valve was carried out using 3D software Creo2.0 for future modeling and analysis
purposes. Keeping the benchmarked valve as reference different product concepts was generated on valve features and
sealing. Among these concepts the best concept was developed by using concept scoring technique. The best concept was
then evaluated by carrying out FEA and CFD analysis to analyze the UL and FM pressure rating guidelines. Based on
the developed concept of valve, 2D draft drawings are generated using Creo 2.0.
