Abstract: It is my belief that the foremost user of butterfly valves in this country is the chemical industry. However, it is certainly true that the gas industry in the last few years has begun to sit up and take notice of the butterfly valves capabilities and are also beginning to make use of them. The Manager of Operations of one gas company has recently stated that because of rising costs, it is going to be necessary in the future, to mere fully automate more plants. This means that control valves now in use may be doubled in the next five to eight years. It also means the computers have come of age and will eventually begin replacing operating personnel. At this point pressure drops will become very critical and it appears that because of the lower costs and the smaller installation space and size required for large regulators, the butterfly valve will definitely have a future in the gas industry. In fact, a recent survey shows that butterfly valves are being used widely for control in almost every phase of the gas industry from the well head to the user. However, this paper will concentrate on the use of butterfly valves as working regulators and monitoring regulators and the use of the butterfly valves in other applications in the regulatca: station.
