Soft Sealed Double Offset Butterfly Valve
Design Features
1. Double Offset Design: The double offset design refers to the placement of the valve shaft, which is positioned behind the seat and above the centerline of the valve. This design minimizes wear on the sealing surfaces, resulting in improved longevity and performance.
2. Soft Sealing: The valve utilizes soft sealing materials, such as elastomers, which provide excellent sealing performance even at low pressures. This ensures minimal leakage and enhances the valve’s efficiency.
3. Compact Structure: The compact design of the double offset butterfly valve allows for space-saving installations and reduces the overall weight, making it easier to handle and install.
4. Variety of Materials: These valves can be constructed from various materials, including stainless steel, ductile iron, and carbon steel, allowing for customization based on the specific application requirements.
Applications
Soft sealed double offset butterfly valves are widely used in:
Water Treatment: Effective for controlling flow in treatment plants and distribution systems.
Oil and Gas: Suitable for pipelines and storage tanks due to their ability to handle various fluids and pressures.
HVAC Systems: Commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for flow regulation.
Chemical Processing: Ideal for applications involving corrosive or abrasive materials, thanks to their robust construction and sealing capabilities.
