Definition and Types of Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

Triple eccentric butterfly valves are specially designed to provide excellent sealing. They achieve this by incorporating 3 offsets in their design, which allows the valve to close tightly. The valve has a conical metal seat and a sealing disc that moves away from the seat to improve sealing effectiveness. Here are the 2 main types:
 

Metal-Seated Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

These valves have both a metal seat and a metal sealing disc. They are highly effective at sealing and can handle high temperatures and corrosive fluids, making them suitable for demanding environments.
 

Soft-Seated Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

These valves use softer materials like rubber or PTFE (a type of plastic) for the seat and sealing disc. They provide a tight seal that prevents leaks, making them ideal for applications where a bubble-tight shut-off is needed.

Working Principles of Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

Triple eccentric butterfly valves work using a special design called the triple offset. This design means that the disc, which is the part that blocks or allows flow, moves in a way that prevents rubbing against the seat. Instead, it moves like a cam, which helps the valve seal tightly without wearing out the parts.
 
When the valve is fully open, the disc moves entirely out of the flow path. This reduces any pressure drop and allows the liquid or gas to flow freely without obstruction. Even under high pressure, the valve can create a tight, leak-free seal.

Key Features and Advantages of Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

Triple eccentric butterfly valves have several features that make them valuable in controlling the flow of fluids. Here are some key features:
 
Excellent Sealing
The triple eccentric design allows the valve to create a very tight seal, reducing the chance of leaks and providing reliable shut-off.
Easy Operation
These valves require low torque to operate, meaning they are easy to open and close. This makes them ideal for automated systems and remote control applications.
Handles Various Conditions
Triple eccentric butterfly valves are designed to work across a wide range of temperatures and pressures, making them useful in many different industries.
Bi-Directional Flow
These valves can control the flow of fluids in both directions, offering greater flexibility in how they can be used in fluid control systems.

Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves vs Triple Offset Butterfly Valves

Feature

Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

Triple Offset Butterfly Valves

Design

3 offsets: axial, radial, rotational

2 offsets: axial, radial

Sealing Performance

Superior sealing; minimal contact between disc and body

Good sealing; more contact compared to triple eccentric

Service Life

Longer service life due to reduced friction and wear

Shorter service life compared to triple eccentric

Operating Torque

Lower operating torque; less resistance

Higher operating torque; more resistance

Flow Resistance

Lower flow resistance; more efficient

Higher flow resistance compared to triple eccentric

Triple eccentric butterfly valves and triple offset butterfly valves are both designed to improve sealing and reduce wear, but they have some differences.

Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

These valves have three types of offsets: axial, radial, and rotational. This design keeps the disc from directly touching the valve body during rotation. As a result, there is less friction and wear, which leads to better sealing and a longer service life.

Triple Offset Butterfly Valves

These valves have only 2 offsets: axial and radial. While they perform better than regular butterfly valves in terms of sealing and lifespan, they don’t match the performance of triple eccentric butterfly valves.

Applications of Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves

Triple eccentric butterfly valves are commonly used in industries that need reliable sealing and efficient performance. These valves are versatile and can handle various tasks, making them suitable for different environments. Some common uses include:
 
Power Plants
Used to regulate the flow of steam, water, and other fluids essential for power generation.
Oil and Gas
Applied in pipelines and processing facilities to control the flow of oil, gas, and related products.
Petrochemicals
Used in the production and processing of chemicals, where precise flow control is needed.
Water Treatment
Employed in water purification and distribution systems to manage the flow of water.
Process Industries
Utilized in various manufacturing processes to regulate and isolate fluids, ensuring smooth operation in demanding environments.

Features & Benefits

We proudly offer the Tri Lok triple offset butterfly valve, an ideal choice for isolation in high-pressure applications, especially where zero leakage is essential. Compared to other valves of the same size and pressure class, Tri Lok provides space and weight savings, lowering installation and maintenance costs. The valve’s non-rubbing, metal-to-metal seal provides zero leakage with minimal torque and is certified fire-safe.
 
A key feature of the NTVAL Tri Lok is its splined disc/stem connection, allowing the disc to move independently of the stem. This design maintains the correct positioning of the seal ring and seat, even under temperature changes and pressure variations, preventing misalignment issues. The close tolerance engagement between the disc and stem reduces operational delays, offering maximum strength in demanding environments.
Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valve 26

Triple Offset Geometry

A triple offset valve, or triple eccentric valve, has a stem offset on both the X (1) and Y (2) axes from the valve’s centerline, creating a cam-like motion. The third offset (3) is an inclined conical profile on the sealing surface, enabling the seat and seal ring to engage without interference. This design eliminates rubbing between the seat and seal ring, reducing wear and extending the valve’s lifespan.

When the seat and seal ring are fully engaged, torque is applied to create a bi-directional, metal-to-metal seal that prevents leaks. Because of this, triple offset valves are often referred to as “torque-seated” rather than “position-seated,” which is common in resilient or high-performance valves.

Components

  • Field-Replaceable Seat & Seal System: This system allows the seat and seal to be replaced on-site, extending the valve’s life, reducing downtime, and avoiding costly off-site repairs or full replacements.
  • Enhanced Seat Hardness: The hardened seat material reduces the risk of galling, offering superior durability, performance, and resistance to abrasion compared to other materials.
  • Metal-to-Metal Sealing: Tri Lok’s non-rubbing metal-to-metal sealing is fire-safe and tested to meet zero-leakage requirements for critical applications.
  • Seal Ring: Designed for flexibility with a range of materials, the seal ring provides torque-loaded, zero-leakage sealing. A solid seal ring option is also available.
  • Splined Disc-to-Stem Connection: This strong connection allows the stem to move independently of the disc, protecting against temperature and pressure effects, reducing hysteresis, and simplifying assembly and disassembly.
  • Adjustable Stem Packing: The stem seal system is fully adjustable and field-replaceable, certified to international fugitive emission standards.
  • Blowout-Proof Stem: The 1-piece stem includes a blowout prevention ring outside the pressure boundary, with redundant safety mechanisms conforming to API 609 standards.
  • Indexed Stem: Provides clear visual indication of the disc and seal ring position after installation.
  • Elongated Stem Bearings: Hardened bearings offer maximum support for the stem.
  • Increased Body Wall Thickness: In line with API 600, the thicker body wall provides additional corrosion resistance.
  • SIL 3 Capable: The Tri Lok valve meets SIL 3 requirements and is available in various automated packages to meet different SIL standards.
