Metal seated severe-service butterfly valve
Клапан-бабочка с тройным смещением из нержавеющей стали
A compact quarter-turn isolation valve using triple-offset geometry to reduce seat wear and support reliable metal-seated closure at elevated temperature or demanding pressure conditions.
What is a stainless steel triple offset butterfly valve?
A triple offset butterfly valve separates the shaft from the seat centerlines and adds a conical sealing geometry. This causes the disc and seat to disengage rapidly during opening and approach contact only near final closure, reducing sliding friction compared with concentric or double-offset resilient-seated designs.
The metal sealing system can suit elevated temperature, fire-safe and severe isolation duties, but performance depends on the exact seat stack, seal ring, body pattern, pressure direction, shaft support and actuator torque. Leakage class and bidirectional capability must be confirmed for the offered design.

Дизайн, testing and project compliance
API 609
Common design and testing basis for butterfly valves. Категория, body pattern, seat design and exact edition must be identified.
ASME B16.34
Provides pressure-temperature and general valve design requirements where applicable to the offered construction.
API 598 / EN 12266-1
Shell and seat testing can be specified to the applicable market and project basis.
API 607 / ISO 10497
Fire-safe performance is qualification-specific and must be supported for the exact seat, seal and valve configuration.
Standards are supplied only when stated in the quotation and purchase order. Пожаробезопасный, неорганизованные выбросы, кислый сервис, cryogenic and PED requirements require a defined design and supporting qualification or documentation.
Типичные применения
| Промышленность | Типичная обязанность | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Нефть и газ | Process isolation and emergency shutdown | Fire-safe design, torque margin and leakage class |
| нефтехимическая | High-temperature hydrocarbon and utility service | Seat stack, emissions packing and pressure direction |
| Производство электроэнергии | Steam and high-temperature auxiliary systems | Thermal cycling, material strength and actuation |
| Marine and offshore | Utility, cooling and corrosive fluid systems | Duplex materials, external corrosion and gearbox protection |
Application examples are not a service approval. The end user or piping materials engineer must verify corrosion compatibility, pressure-temperature limits, emissions class, operating frequency and applicable regulations.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What are the three offsets?
The shaft is offset from the seat centerline, offset from the body/pipe centerline, and combined with an angled conical sealing geometry. Exact geometry varies by manufacturer design.
How is a triple offset valve different from a double offset valve?
Triple offset designs add a conical sealing geometry that minimizes rubbing and supports engineered metal seating. Double offset valves commonly use resilient or high-performance seats and have different temperature and leakage capabilities.
Is the valve bidirectional?
Some designs provide bidirectional shutoff while others have a preferred pressure direction or different leakage performance by direction. Confirm the tested capability of the exact offered configuration.
Can it be supplied fire-safe?
Yes only when the exact valve construction has appropriate fire-test qualification. Material selection alone does not establish fire-safe performance.
What information is needed for actuator selection?
Provide maximum differential pressure in both directions, seat design, fluid and temperature, operating time, frequency, fail position, power supply and required safety factor.
