Why Use a Triple Offset Butterfly Valve?

Why Use a Triple Offset Butterfly Valve?

Triple offset butterfly valves are designed for demanding industrial applications where reliable shut-off and efficient flow control are essential. At BM Engineering, we supply high-performance butterfly valves, including triple offset designs, that deliver long service life, tight sealing, and durability in harsh environments.

What is a Triple Offset Butterfly Valve?

Zwick triple Offset Valve Supplier - BM Engineering Supplies

A triple offset butterfly valve (TOV) differs from standard butterfly valves through its unique design. It uses three separate offsets that reduce friction and wear on the sealing components. This ensures a bubble-tight shut-off, even in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

  • First offset: Shaft placed behind the sealing surface for unobstructed operation.
  • Second offset: Shaft positioned off the pipe centreline for reduced wear.
  • Third offset: A conical sealing surface ensures precise, friction-free sealing.

Key Benefits of Triple Offset Butterfly Valves

  • Zero leakage: Metal-to-metal sealing provides reliable shut-off.
  • Long service life: Reduced friction minimises wear on valve components.
  • High performance: Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
  • Cost-effective: Lightweight design makes installation easier and reduces system costs.
  • Versatility: Performs in demanding industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and chemical processing.
