butterfly valves triple offset can handle a variety of different fluids including steam, high-temperature gases and liquids as well as corrosive and abrasive fluids. These valves are widely adopted in district heating and cooling systems, petrochemical plants and power generation plants to provide efficient leak tight shutoff as well as precise control of flow operations. They can also be found in fire safety systems where stringent flammability requirements are met.
The Triple Offset Technology offers several distinct benefits over standard butterfly valves. The first is the design of the seat geometry where the third offset deviates from the centerline of the axle and axis of the disc/seat sealing surface. This allows for a right-angled cone shape which reduces friction as the valve opens and closes, and extends seat life. This combined with the optimized seat angle and the use of Stellite in the body seat enables the valve to deliver exceptional abrasion resistance and performance.
Triple Offset Butterfly Valves: A Reliable Solution for High-Pressure Environments
Unlike other types of valves, Triple Offset butterfly valves are capable of handling both quick stroke time requirements and frequent operating cycles. This is largely due to their non-rubbing rotation. This feature ensures low and consistent running torque over the entire 90-degree opening and closing cycle.
Proper installation and regular maintenance are key to ensuring that these valves continue to perform optimally. Incorrect installation or lack of regular lubrication can lead to reduced performance and even failure of the valve. For this reason, it is always advisable to seek professional advice from experts before purchasing and installing any type of butterfly valve.
