Key features/benefits
With the triple offset butterfly valve there are three offsets. Two are placed in a similar position to the double offset butterfly valve, while the third offset is the geometry of the seating surface, creating a type of cone shape of the disc and seat. This cone angle, along with the two eccentric shaft offsets, allows the disc to seal against the seat with no friction.
This seat design also allows for uniform sealing, and thus a tight shutoff in a metal seat design. This design is a lower cost, lower torque option (easier to automate), than alternative style metal seated valves.

Principle Of Operation
The Convalve Triple Offset Butterfly Valve provides a bi-directional bubble tight shut-off. This geometry ensures that the disc seal contacts the body
seat only at the final shut-off position without rubbing or galling, providing a torque generated resilient seal with sufficient “wedging” to ensure a uniform seal contact.
The Triple Offset Geometry
OFFSET 1 The shaft is offset behind the seat axis to allow complete sealing contact around the entire seat.
OFFSET 2 The shaft centerline is offset from the pipe and valve which provides interference free opening and closing of the valve.
OFFSET 3 The seat cone axis is offset from the shaft centerline to eliminate friction during closing and opening and to achieve uniform compressive sealing around the entire seat.
