Rotary control valves

Rotary control valves are direct through design to provide less resistance to flow and a higher pressure recovery.

As a consequence, they provide a higher flow capacity with low pressure loss than equivalent size globe body valves that may make they appear more economical. .

Rotary control valves include all forms of butterfly valves as well as ball valves are most designed to be installed “sandwiched” between piping flanges.

If it can be avoided you should not use a butterfly for control. Butterfly valves have a very small controllable range generally in the 25% to 50% range only
