Flowserve TX Triple Offset High Performance Butterfly Valve

Designed for Heavy Duty Industrial Applications

Triple Offset Metal Seated Valves

About Triple Offset Valve Technology
In many applications, double offset metal-seated butterfly valves cannot offer bubble tight shut-off. For these applications, Flowserve is now introducing triple offset metal seated valves. It features a special sealing mechanism, which consists of contacts of an inclined and conical disc with laminated seat. As a result, the friction and abrasion between the sealing elements (disc and seat) are minimized. The unique feature of this design is that it provides low torque, broad sealing and tight shut-off.

Body Centerline Disc Rotation Axis Double

Single offset
The rotation axis of the disc is moved back from the sealing surfaces of the disc. The purpose of this offset is to have a continuous sealing surface on the disc.

Double offset
The rotation axis of the disc is moved away from the center-line of the valve body. The purpose of this offset is to lift the disc quickly off and away from the seat ring in the body while decreasing the friction during operation
Single
sc Di Ro i tat

Triple offset
The virtual conic axis, extended from the sealing surfaces of the disc is inclined from the rotation axis of the disc. The purpose of this offset is to eliminate friction, galling and wear generated at the sealing surface during operation and provide bubble tight shut-off on high pressure and temperature.

Features and Benefits

Triple Offset Design Eliminates wear associated with sealing surface contact and maintains sealing integrity and high cycle life Metal to metal sealing Robust single-piece shaft Fire safe per API 607 5TH edition Provides low operating torque. Tight shut-off: Achieved by introducing triple offset sealing technology. Triple offset design with inclined conical sealing system: Eliminates rubbing and jamming associated with sealing surface contact Laminated metal or solid metal seat. 3

Sealing system
Principle of Sealing System TX Triple offset valves operate using a camming action which reduces the possibility of galling or scratching on the sealing surfaces between the sealing elements (disc and seat). The camming action of these valves also reduces the possibility of jamming between the sealing elements, which can happen with valves that rely on single point sealing.

The sealing surfaces of the Flowserve valve disc have different angles in all points. The Flowserve TX valve has an elliptical sealing system The sealing surfaces of an elliptical sealing system are completely in contact at the final position only, and upon opening, all contact points are released immediately from the seat ring. This mechanism provides flawless bubble tight shut-off. Unlike conventional valve designs, the seat ring is fixed in the body with setscrews along with a retaining ring, mating with the thrust collar. Therefore, the seat ring is not directly influenced by fluid in open positions.

Laminated seat ring

The laminated seat ring is composed of alternating layers of metal and graphite. The layers of graphite compensate for the lack of smooth mating surfaces. The laminated seat ring of a Flowserve TX valve provides bubble tight shut-off even in gas applications. Each individual layer performs an independent sealing and is unaffected by the damages to other layers. The elements of the laminated metal plate can be made of various metals including Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy depending on the application. Additionally, for high temperature and more severe applications, a solid metal seat ring is available and for low temperature applications the solid metal seat ring can be replaced with a PTFE or RTFE seat ring. 4
