Choosing the Right Butterfly Valve: Double Offset vs. Triple Offset When selecting the right valve for your industrial process, understanding the difference between double offset butterfly valves and triple offset valves is critical. Each design offers unique performance characteristics suited for specific pressure ratings, media types,...
Introduction Butterfly control valves are quarter-turn valves that use a metal disc to control fluid flow through a pipeline. The disc is positioned perpendicular to the flow, and when the valve is rotated, the disc opens or closes to regulate the fluid flow. Butterfly control valves...
We rely on valves to stop and seal the flow of media in its various forms: solids, liquids, and gases. Leakage of solids or liquids is relatively easy to spot, but some gas leakage isn’t something that can be detected by the naked eye. With the...
General Service Vs. High-Performance Butterfly Valves: What's the Difference? Key Takeaways: General Service vs. High-Performance Butterfly Valves General service butterfly valves are ideal for standard processing applications with non-corrosive, low-pressure, and moderate-temperature fluids or gases. They are simpler, cost-effective, and available in sizes up to 30 inches. High-performance...
Butterfly valves are used for large-scale processing applications that require quick, leak-proof opening and closing. A triple offset butterfly valve is a type of butterfly valve specially engineered to fix the shortcomings of other butterfly valve types. By design, it is the highest level of...
High-performance butterfly valves are an essential component for any company that needs to control the flow of gases or liquids. Although butterfly valves have been used since the early 1930s, their use as an effective, low maintenance mechanism to regulate fluid flow has only recently...
In short, a butterfly valve is a quarter turn rotational motion valve. Just like any other valve, they are used to either start, stop, and regulate flow. This type of valve has been around since the early 1930s and has a wide range of applications...
What Does “Value Valve” Mean? Let's face it, looking for butterfly valves can be confusing. And most companies give their butterfly valves a name that don't mean anything! That's why we call ours Value Valve “a Value in Valving” so you'll know the valve you're getting...
It's important to select the right tool for your flow system. Controlling liquid flow is a critical task that can be accomplished by a great high-performance or triple offset butterfly valve. However, what actually makes a good offset valve? Each offset valve has its own...
SIL 101: How Safe Do I Need to Be? The global importance of SIL (Safety Integrity Levels) has grown substantially in the oil/gas, petrochemical and other process industries over the last 20 years. However, for many end users, systems integrators, and product vendors, SIL is still...
The Butterfly Valve In simple words, a butterfly valve is a type of quarter turn valve used to regulate or stop the flow of liquids through a pipe. A quarter turn valve means that whenever the Operator is turned 90 degrees, the valve is either fully...
Choosing the right valve is essential for a successful operation of any flow system that needs to control liquid flow. How do butterfly valves work and what differentiates them from each other you may be wondering? Each offset valve has functionality and benefits of their...
When it comes to the world of commercial butterfly valves, not all devices are created equal. There are many differences between the manufacturing processes and devices themselves that change the specifications and capabilities significantly. To properly prepare for making a selection, a buyer must learn...
