Abstract
A butterfly valve includes a valve body with an internal flow passage, a seat ring attached to an inner peripheral surface of the internal flow passage, a valve stem rotatably supported by the valve body, and a valve element rotatably supported by the valve body via the valve stem. The valve element has an annular outer peripheral edge surface, and includes, at opposite positions in the direction of the rotation axis on the outer peripheral edge surface, two valve-stem openings for the valve shaft to pass therethrough. The outer peripheral edge surface of the valve element includes two annular opening raised portions each extending along the periphery of the corresponding valve stem openings, and peripheral edge raised portions connecting the two opening raised portions, each having a peripheral edge sealing surface extending along a top thereof, and chamfered surfaces inclined and extending along both sides of the peripheral sealing surface.
