In the field of flow control systems, precision, durability, and efficiency are key. Speciality Valve is a part of the group of trusted triple offset butterfly valve manufacturers in India, which also happens to present a great choice of industrial valves for severe service conditions. Triple offset butterfly valves (TOBV) are very much in demand in sectors like oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, water treatment, and marine, which require tight shut-off, zero leak, and long service life.
A triple offset butterfly valve is a type of butterfly valve which has improved upon the classic design by reducing seat wear out and also achieving a much tighter seal. Also in contrast to concentric and double offset butterfly valves which do not have this feature, the triple offset design includes an element of angular offset which does not allow the seal elements (disc and seat) to touch until the valve is fully closed.
This design which does away with friction also which in turn reduces torque requirements and at the same time increases valve life. In what may be called out as a feature of this particular design triple offset valves are also known to function as zero leakage valves and metal seated shut off valves.
The triple offset butterfly valve’s function is based on its triple eccentric design:
When the valve is actuated the disc turns without contact at the valve seat until final closure. This which in turn eliminates seat wear, reduces operating torque, and provides very tight seal for high pressure and high temperature conditions.
Triple-action butterfly valves are used in fields that require bubble-tight shut-off and fire-safe performance.
While both double offset and triple offset valves aim to reduce friction and extend lifespan, they differ significantly:
Feature |
Double Offset Butterfly Valve |
Triple Offset Butterfly Valve |
Design |
Two offsets from the disc and the shaft |
Three offsets, including conical sealing |
Sealing |
Resilient or metal seat |
Metal-to-metal seat, bubble-tight |
Applications |
General industrial use |
Severe service, high temp & pressure |
Leakage Prevention |
Low to moderate |
Zero leakage (Class VI shut-off) |
Thus, for critical industries, the triple offset design is preferred over the double offset.
Selecting a triple offset butterfly valve also does:
Triple range of butterfly valves is available which are designed for various industries:
A typical triple offset butterfly valve includes:
In the energy sector triple offset butterfly valves are a key component in the processing of hydrocarbons at high pressure and temp. For example in refinery shut down systems which are critical these valves provide zero leak isolation for safety. Also they have a fire safe design which in addition to withstanding corrosive gases and fluids makes them the preferred choice over ball valves or gate valves in critical service.
Speciality Valve is a global player in the export of triple offset butterfly valves to Asia, Middle East, Europe and North America which we serve to international quality standards. We offer custom sized valves, end connections, and actuation methods which in turn we back with a reliable global supply and support.
Triple offset butterfly valves are key in industries that require reliable shut off, fire safety, and zero leak performance. With advanced design, high quality materials, and global supply Speciality Valve is still a trusted name among triple offset butterfly valve manufacturers in India. In the oil gas, power generation, or marine sectors our valves we are at the top in terms of performance and durability.
