A valve plate is the material, usually flat or nearly so, that makes up the valve assembly. It needs to be durable and strong, and in many cases also resistant to heat, pressure and corrosion. There are valves that are automatically activated by changes in pressure within the setup of a machine, valve plate is used to control the flow of gas, liquid or air. the valve plate is an important part of the valve and helps to ensure that it operates efficiently and effectively.
A typical application is the butterfly valve plate, usually made of rubber and metal, the butterfly valve consists of a circular disc or plate built with a stem through the middle or attached offset. When opened, the disc pivots 90° in the valve bore, aligning with the flow and creating a nearly unrestricted flow path. Like ball valves, butterfly valves rotate 90° to enable quick shutoff.
We supply a wide range of standard and non-standard valve plates, the materials include but are not limited to Nitrile, Viton, HNBR.
