Specification of Basic Valve

Triple-offset butterfly valve

Triple-offset butterfly valve uses three geometric offsets (axial, radial, and angular cone axis) to enable rapid disengagement/engagement of the disc from the seat during operation, drastically reducing friction and wear while achieving near-zero leakage with metal-to-metal sealing. Compact, heatresistant, and highpressure capable, it offers long service life and low torque, making it ideal for demanding services in oil, chemical, and power industries.

Structural Characteristics

1) Axial offset: stem axis deviates from valve centerline, creating a cam effect during disc movement to reduce initial seating force.

2) Radial offset: stem axis deviates from pipe centerline, ensuring rapid disc seat separation during rotation, minimizing friction travel.

3) Angular (cone) offset: sealing cone axis is angled to the flow passage axis, enabling uniform wedging at closure and instant release at opening.

4) Metal hard sealing: laminated or solid metal to metal sealing pairs, no soft materials, resistant to high temperature, erosion, and corrosive media.

5) Bidirectional pressure capability: geometric design allows equal sealing performance in both flow directions, no mandatory installation orientation.

6) Flexible actuation: compatible with manual, pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators, plus smart positioners and fieldbus, enabling remote modulation, on/off control, and seamless integration with DCS/PLC systems.

Operation of This Valve

The Operation of this Valve is Worm Gear Operation

Worm gear actuation converts high speed low torque input (from handwheel or motor) into low speed high torque output through a worm and wheel reducer to operate valves. Its key strengths are effort saving operation, self locking capability, compact design, and high reliability, making it ideal for medium to large diameter valves and applications requiring precise position holding.
 
Main Features
 
1. High Torque Output: Large gear ratio multiplies input torque several to dozens of times, making handwheel operation extremely easy even for large diameter, high pressure valves.
 
2. Self ocking Function: When the worm lead angle is smaller than the friction angle, the mechanism provides reverse self locking, securely holding any valve position without external brakes for enhanced safety.
 
3. Visual Position Indicator: A mechanical opening indicator is typically mounted on the gearbox top, clearly displaying the current valve opening percentage for convenient on site monitoring.
 
4. High Protection Class: Fully enclosed housing offers dust and water resistance (IP65 or higher), suitable for outdoor, humid, or dusty environments.
 
5. Electric Upgrade Ready: The worm gear drive can be retrofitted with a motor adapter without replacing the valve body, enabling quick automation for remote control.

Packaging & Shipping

Our key points to keep in mind when packaging valve products:

1. Protection Against Contamination
Valves must be sealed at all openings (flanges, threaded ends, or socket ends) with appropriate caps, plugs, or covers. This prevents dust, dirt, moisture, and foreign particles from entering the internal cavities and seating surfaces, which could compromise performance.
 
2. Corrosion Prevention
Apply a rust-preventive coating or volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) film to all machined and unpainted metal surfaces. Desiccant bags should be placed inside sealed plastic liners to control humidity, especially for long-term storage or ocean freight.
 
3. Cushioning and Shock Absorption
Use adequate padding (e.g., foam, bubble wrap, or corrugated cardboard inserts) to protect actuators, positioners, handwheels, and other protruding components. Fragile accessories like solenoid valves or limit switches require additional isolation from the main valve body.
 
4. Secure Fixation Inside the Container
The valve must be firmly blocked and braced within the outer packaging (wooden crate, corrugated box, or metal rack) using wooden chocks, metal brackets, or strapping bands. This prevents shifting, rolling, or impacting during handling and transit, which could damage threads, flanges, or stem seals.
 
5. Weight Distribution and Lifting Points
For heavy or large-diameter valves, ensure the packaging design evenly distributes weight and provides clear, reinforced lifting points (e.g., sling slots or fork-lift pockets). Mark the center of gravity on the outside to avoid tipping.
 
6. Clear and Durable Labeling
Attach weather-resistant labels showing:
Valve model, size, pressure class, and material grade
Purchase order number and batch/lot code
Handling instructions (e.g., "Do Not Drop," "This Side Up," "Use Spreader Bar")
Weight and center-of-gravity markings
 
7. Compliance with Export/Import Regulations
For international shipments, use Non solid wood material without fumigation wooden pallets/boxes. Include proper hazardous goods declarations if the valve contains residual testing fluids, lubricants, or nitrogen pre-charge.
