CREATION OF BUTTERFLY VALVE AND APPLY GD&t
AIM: The main moto of this project is to design the assembly of the Butterfly valve and apply the GD&T concepts to the various parts of the Butterfly Valve.
SOFTWARE USED: CATIA V5
INTRODUCTION:
BUTTERFLY VALVE :
A Butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve, that is used to stop, regulate, and start a flow. Butterfly valves are easy and fast to open.
Applications of Butterfly Valve :
- Compressed Air or Gas Applications
- Cooling water, air, gases and fire protection
- Slurry and similar services
- Vacuum service etc..
COMPONENTS OF BUTTERFLY VALVE :
1] BODY :


2]SHAFT :


3] RETAINER:


4] PLATE :


5] HANDLE :


6] NUT :


ASSEMBLY :


Above Used GD&T Symbols and their Meanings:
| Symbols | Characteristic | Description |
| Position | Locate the center point axes. | |
| Straightness | is applied to a single line in which irregularities should be wih in two parallel straight lines. | |
| Flatness | It is applied to surface, Hence the irregularities in surface should be within the limits of a two parallel lines | |
| Circularity | It is applied to only single cross section | |
| Cylindricity | Applied to surface of the cylinder, the dia of the cylinder should be lie within the concentric cylinder. | |
| Profile of a Surface | Measurement of line across of surface irregularities on straight ine surface | |
|
Perpendiculariy |
Orientation of surface axis should be perpendicular to datum reference | |
| Angularity | Control the angle of feature. | |
| Parallelism | Orientation of surface axes should be parrallel to datum reference. | |
| Concentricity | Meadian point for the given feature. | |
| Symmetr | Similar to the concentricity but applied to rectangular feature . |
CONCLUSION:
The Butterfly valve is successfully created and GD&T is applied to all the different parts and the assembly of the Butterfly valve.
