What is difference about zero, double and tripple offset butterfly valve?

Choosing the wrong type of valve can be detrimental to your operation. There are a few different types of butterfly valves on the market, including the zero offset, double offset, and triple offset.

Zero Offset
Also known as a concentric design, this is common in general service ‘resilient seated’ or ‘rubber seated’ butterfly valves. The stem and disc are centered in the seat of the valve, all of which are centered in the body of the valve. The disc is in constant contact with the seat.

An advantage of this valve is the media going through the valve will not contact the body, since the seat is constructed as a sleeve or cartridge inside of the body.

Zero offset butterfly valves are used in basic and specialty liquid and gas applications up to 200 PSI and up to 400 deg F. The zero offset butterfly valve can handle chemicals, coatings, food, some solids, and abrasive applications.

The zero offset butterfly valve is available in epoxy coated cast iron and stainless steel with multiple seat materials such as Buna, EPDM, VITON, Teflon, Natural rubber and others.

Double Offset Butterfly Valve
This popular valve is also known as a high performance butterfly valve. This valve has two stems offset from the center.  This creates a cam action during the application's process.
  • 1st offset: The axis of the shaft is behind the centerline of the sealing point of the disc to seat.
  • 2nd offset: The axis of the shaft is eccentric to the center of the valve/pipe line.
The double offset butterfly valve is generally used in:
  • Power generation
  • Pulp and paper
  • HVAC
  • Chemical
  • Oil and gas
  • Water and wastewater treatment
  • Shipbuilding
Double offset butterfly valves are available in higher pressures than the zero offset style.  The double offset is up to ANSI Class 600 rating in carbon steel, stainless steel, Hastelloy and other body material, with variations of Teflon seats and also Fire Safe design with metal back up seats.

Tripple Offset Butterfly Valve
With the tripple 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.

FEIDA is specialized in High Performance Butterfly Valve for more than 15 years. There are 2 main facilities includes 2 valve assembly & testing factories, 1 large CNC machinery plant, 1 investment casting foundry (3000T/Y) and 1 valve R&D center, equipped with most advanced production equipment and testing equipment.

The fire safe butterfly valve is also in FEIDA VALVE product range. Our fire safe butterfly valve is certificated by American Petroleum Institute (API) according to API 607 standards.

FEIDA also build up a dustless workshop to produce ultra-clean valve for some critical working condition such as nuclear industry, semiconductor industry etc.

In the dustless workshp, FEIDA also produce the food-grade valves. FEIDA food-grade valve is certificated by Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The bonds between PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption) and High Performance Butterfly Valve

图片
  High performance butterfly valves ： Generally refers to  double eccentric butterfly valve  and  triple eccentric butterfly valve ,due to their excellent working performance and high sealing ability (compared with concentric butterfly valve) are widely used in petrochemical,power plants,metallurgy,civil heating fields.Eccentric butterfly valves have the good working performacne to meeting sever and strict requirements in many different industries.Today, we are going to introduce the application of eccentric butterfly valve in air separation for making oxygen,hydrogen,CO etc. At present,the mature air separation system is PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption),it need certain number of programmed valves (valve parts usually double or triple eccentric butterfly valve) in its pipeline system to control and adjust the medium. FEIDA  double (and tripple) eccentric butterfly valve are widely used in this kind of PSA system due to the valves' excellent features: 1-Long service life,on-off 1 mill

Hardening method of metal hard sealed ball valve balls and valve seats

  At present, the commonly used hardening processes for the surface of  metal hard sealed ball valves  mainly include the following: (1) Surface welding (or spray welding) of hard alloy on the sphere can achieve a hardness of over 40HRC. The process of surface welding of hard alloy on the sphere is complex, with low production efficiency, and large area welding can easily cause deformation of the parts. Currently, there is relatively little use of surface hardening technology on the sphere. (2) The surface of the sphere is plated with hard chromium, with a hardness of 60-65HRC and a thickness of 0.07-0.10ram. The chromium plating layer has high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and can maintain surface brightness for a long time. The process is relatively simple and the cost is relatively low. However, the hardness of the hard chromium coating will rapidly decrease as the temperature increases due to the release of internal stress, and its working temperature cannot exce

Introduction to the Function, Principle, and Characteristics of Globe Valves

  Globe valves   are used to cut off the flow of media, and are suitable for situations that require frequent opening. The sealing parts of a globe valve are the valve disc and valve seat. In order to ensure a tight closing of the globe valve, the mating surface of the valve disc and valve seat should be ground or a gasket should be used. The sealing surface can also be embedded with corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials such as bronze and stainless steel.The valve disc and valve stem of the globe valve are connected in a movable manner to ensure a tight fit between the valve disc and valve stem. The lifting and lowering of the valve disc of a globe valve is generally controlled by the valve stem. The upper part of the valve stem is a handwheel, and the middle part is a threaded and packing sealing section. The function of the packing is to prevent the internal medium of the valve body from leaking along the valve stem. The function of a shut-off valve 1、 The main function o
