Abstract
An eccentric butterfly valve includes a valve body formed therein with an internal flow passage extending in a direction of the flow passage axis, a disk-shaped valve member disposed in the internal flow passage and supported by the valve body through valve stems to be rotatable about a rotation axis R, and an annular valve seat portion provided on an inner periphery of the internal flow passage, and the internal flow passage is opened and closed by rotating the valve stem to bring a sealing surface of an outer peripheral edge portion of the valve member into and out of contact with the valve seat portion. The valve member is further provided in one of the principal surfaces with a groove portion extending in a direction across the rotation axis R, and both side walls of the groove portion are formed as convex curved surfaces extending in a convex shape.
