A butterfly valve, also known as a flapper valve, is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluids in pipes and other systems. It works by opening and closing a hinged plate, or "flap", which is positioned within the flow path. The valve can be opened or closed by rotating an actuator attached to the flap, allowing for precise control over fluid flow. Butterfly valves are known for their compact design and ease of operation, making them a popular choice for various applications.
