China wholesale Lug And Wafer Type Butterfly Valve Factories – Triple Offset Butterfly Valve – Ruixin Valve

With the triple offset butterfly valve there are three offsets.
Two are placed in a similar position to the double offset butterfly valve, while the third offset is the geometry of the seating surface, creating a type of cone shape of the disc and seat.
This cone angle, along with the two eccentric shaft offsets, allows the disc to seal against the seat with no friction.
This seat design also allows for uniform sealing, and thus a tight shutoff in a metal seat design.
This design is a lower cost, lower torque option (easier to automate), than alternative style metal seated valves.
Triple offsets are generally used in applications similar to gate valves, where a metal seat is required, and tight shutoff and/or quarter turn actuation is desired. Applications like high pressure steam (over 150 PSI), superheated- steam, high temperature gases and oils, high temperature applications are good for this type of valve because a metal seat is required over a soft seat.
The triple offset valve is used in similar industries as the double offset butterfly valve, but in more demanding applications.
