Looking for a robust and reliable valve solution for demanding high-temperature and high-pressure applications? Our Double Eccentric Flange Butterfly Valve, Metal Seated is engineered to excel. This advanced valve design, also known as a double offset butterfly valve, incorporates a metal-to-metal seat for superior sealing performance in the most challenging conditions, including abrasive media and extreme temperatures. It effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional resilient-seated valves. The unique geometry of the disc, with its two offsets from the seat and stem axes, minimizes wear and torque, ensuring a long service life and exceptional tight shut-off. Our Metal Seated Double Eccentric Flange Butterfly Valve is the industry-preferred choice for critical isolation tasks in power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, and other heavy industries where reliability is non-negotiable.
The Metal Seated Double Offset Flanged Butterfly Valve operates on a sophisticated principle. Its primary feature is the double eccentricity (or offset) of the disc. The first offset positions the stem axis behind the disc's seating plane, while the second offset positions it off-center from the pipeline's centerline. This innovative design ensures that the disc only contacts the metal seat in the final few degrees of closure and opening, virtually eliminating sliding friction during 90% of its operation. This translates to significantly reduced wear on the sealing surfaces, lower operating torque, and a dramatically extended valve lifecycle. The metal seating surfaces, often hardened or coated with specialized materials like Stellite, provide excellent resistance to erosion, corrosion, and high temperatures, guaranteeing zero leakage and dependable performance over thousands of cycles.
