Agenda

Introduction to Triple Offset Technology

Overview of triple offset butterfly valve principles, comparing design approaches and understanding the three offset axes that minimise wear and friction.

Design and Construction Principles

Examination of the coned profile machining, camming action mechanics, and the difference between flexible body seats versus flexible disc seat designs using Zwick technology.

Materials and Seating Systems

Analysis of laminated seat construction combining stainless steel and graphite, body seat materials including 316 Ti and Stellite options, and shaft material specifications.

High-Pressure Capabilities

Understanding pressure ratings up to Class 900/PN150, material strengthening requirements, and the advantages of metal-to-metal seating over polymer-based systems.

Operational Characteristics

Exploration of minimal contact operation, positioning requirements, lockable levers, gearbox considerations, and actuator drive coupling with offset mechanisms.

Body Configuration Options

Review of different body styles including butt-weld, wafer pattern, through lugged, fully lugged, double flanged, and double block and bleed configurations.

Control Applications and Specialised Designs

Discussion of control valve capabilities, Tri-Shark design features, and application considerations for oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation industries.

FAQs

By the end of the course, participants will confidently specify triple offset butterfly valves for high-pressure and high-temperature applications, understand the critical importance of proper machining and assembly, and evaluate appropriate body configurations for different installation requirements. This expertise will enable you to select cost-effective alternatives to ball valves in demanding applications, specify appropriate materials for corrosive and abrasive services, and understand maintenance requirements that extend valve life in your engineering or operations role.
