Advantages of Triple Offset Butterfly Valves
The primary advantages of triple offset butterfly include:
- Zero Leakage: The valve is designed to achieve zero leakage, making it highly suitable for applications demanding tight shutoff.
- Versatility: These valves can handle high-temperature and high-pressure applications, making them useful across a wide range of industries.
- Lower Torque Requirements: The triple offset design reduces the torque requirement for opening and closing the valve, making it more energy-efficient.
- Longevity: Due to the no-rubbing action during rotation, the valve components experience less wear, increasing the overall lifespan of the valve.
Applications of Triple Offset Butterfly Valves
Triple Offset Butterfly Valves are used in various industries such as:
- Oil & Gas
- Chemical & Coal
- Petrochemical
- Desalination Plants
- Waterworks
- Fossil Fuel Applications
- District Heating
Comparisons to Other Valve Types
Triple offset valve excel compared to other valve types in several ways:
- Superior to Globe Valves: Due to their compact design and lower cost, Triple Offset Butterfly Valves are a more economical choice when compared to Globe Valves.
- Low Maintenance vs. Ball Valves: Triple Offset Butterfly Valves have fewer moving parts, making them easier to maintain and repair compared to Ball Valves.
