Several issues can arise with butterfly valves, including:
Leakage: Worn or damaged seats can lead to leaks, especially if the valve is not maintained properly.
Disc Wear: Frequent operation or exposure to abrasive materials can wear down the disc, affecting its sealing capability.
Sticking: Debris or corrosion can cause the valve to stick, making it difficult to operate.
Improper Installation: Incorrect alignment or installation can result in malfunctions and increased wear.
Temperature and Pressure Limits: Exceeding the valve's rated temperature or pressure can lead to failure or damage.
Actuator Issues: If using an automated system, actuator malfunctions can prevent the valve from opening or closing properly.
