The advantages of Triple Offset Butterfly Valves
Sometimes customer ask Verspec team what means by triple offset of triple offset butterfly valve.
Now let’s know what triple offset is:
A Triple Offset Butterfly Valve has 3 separate offsets. Two of the offsets apply to the location of the shaft in respect to the centerline of the bore and the centerline of the disc/seat sealing surfaces. The third offset is the design in the axis of the seat cone angle.
The advantages of Triple Offset Design
1- Unique conical sealing design ensures that the metal sealing components are never in contact until its final degree of closing – this results in repeatable sealing and a vastly extended valve life.
2- Metal-to-Metal sealing ensures bubble tight shut-off, resulting in zero-leakage performance
3- Suitability to harsh media – construction of the valve features no elastomers or materials typically affected by corrosion
4- Geometric design of sealing components provides friction-free stroking throughout the valve. This extends the valve life and allows a lower torque-actuator to be fitted.
5- There are no cavities between sealing components, resulting in no clogging, low maintenance and extended valve life.
