Triple Offset Butterfly Valves
Why use a triple offset butterfly valve?
Triple offset butterfly valves have developed since the 1980s to become a popular alternative to the use of gates and ball valves in high temperature, high pressure and cryogenic applications.
These valves are highly cost effective, not only at point of purchase, but also during installation. They are also easily maintained after installation. The space and weight saving of these valves compared with ball and gate valves is remarkable. Also, butterfly valves have no cavities, which is a major advantage over ball and gate valves where over pressure in the cavity can present a serious hazard. The caming action of the seat on these valves allows for minimal wear but bubble tight shut off.
Butterfly valves have an inherently low operating torque which results in low cost actuation. Their adjustable stem sealing lends itself to the new era of emission control.
