Understanding The Difference Between Single and Double Flange

The difference between double flange butterfly valves [https://www.iflowmarinevalves.com/butterfly-valve/] and single flange butterfly valves [https://www.iflowmarinevalves.com/butterfly-valve/] mainly lies in their structure, installation method, pressure capability, and typical applications. Choosing the right type affects system safety, sealing reliability, and maintenance efficiency.

1. Structural Design

A double flange butterfly valve has two full flanges, one on each side of the valve body.This structure offers excellent alignment and stability.

*
Bolts directly to both pipeline flanges

*
Valve becomes a fixed part of the pipeline

*
Provides strong mechanical support

A single flange butterfly valve has one flange, usually on one side, while the other side connects differently.This design saves space and reduces weight.

*
One flanged connection

*
The opposite side may be wafer-type or spigot-style

*
Lighter and more compact

2. Installation Method

Double Flange:Installed using bolts on both sides.Requires more installation space.Easy to align during mounting.The valve can handle higher tightening forces.

Single Flange:Installed with fewer bolts.Faster to install.Limited axial support.Alignment accuracy depends more on pipeline conditions.

3. Pressure and Strength CapabilityDouble Flange Butterfly Valve

*
Better suited for medium to high pressure systems

*
Strong resistance to pipe movement and vibration

*
Suitable for larger pipe diameters

Single Flange Butterfly Valve

*
Generally used in low to medium pressure systems

*
Less resistant to mechanical stress

*
Best for smaller or less critical pipelines

4. Sealing Performance

Double flange valves:More uniform gasket compression.Better long-term sealing reliability

Single flange valves:Depend more on installation accuracy.May experience uneven sealing under stress

5. Maintenance and ReplacementDouble Flange

*
Easy to remove as an independent pipeline section

*
Suitable for systems requiring frequent maintenance

Single Flange

*
Removal may affect pipe alignment

*
Better for systems with limited maintenance needs

Image: https://www.iflowmarinevalves.com/uploads/s-flange-butterfly-valve.png

6. Typical ApplicationsDouble Flange Butterfly Valves

*
Marine pipelines

*
Water treatment plants

*
Power stations

*
Large-diameter industrial systems

Single Flange Butterfly Valves

*
HVAC systems

*
Compact piping layouts

*
Light industrial applications

*
Cost-sensitive projects
