PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Velan Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve provides a bidirectional 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.

FRICTION FREE SEALING FOR LONG CYCLE LIFE

THE LAMINATED DISC SEAL
Torque seating during closing of the valve provides
uniform forces around the entire circumference of the
valve seat. The resilient seal flexes and energizes,
assuming the shape of the seat. The compression forces
equally distributed around the perimeter provide a tight
bi-directional shut off. The resiliency of the seal allows the
valve body and disc to contract or expand, without the risk
of jamming due to temperature fluctuations.
It is self-adjusting.

VALVE DESIGN FEATURES

The Torqseals advanced design features three-way
eccentricity and unique elliptical seat geometry ensuring
compressive sealing around the entire seat and a tight,
bubble free valve.

STELLITE HARDFACED SEAT

Detail A

Raised, conical seat prevents solids build-up from

interfering with the seal. Seat is hardfaced with Stellite to
meet severe service (in lieu of soft 316SS hardfacing).

abrasive services as well as high
temperature applications up to
Detail A
1112F (600C).

"ZERO LEAKAGE" - SEAT TIGHTNESS

(API 598 RESILIENT SEAT STANDARD)
The disc seal, evenly compressed around its
circumference, produces a wedging effect which flexes
the seal ring and reacts like a spring. The resilient seal
assures "zero leakage" of liquids or gases to API 598 resilient seat standard. Resiliency in the seal allows disc
movement during thermal cycles while retaining tight
shutoff as shown.

NO CAVITY
There is no cavity to allow build-up of solids.

ONE-PIECE SHAFT
Large diameter shaft for safety is connected to the disc
close to the bearings to absorb loads with taper pin
and key to allow for differential expansion due to
temperature.

SHAFT BEARINGS
The shaft is centered on two long bearings, chromed,
nitrided, or as stellite (option) protected against the
entrance of solids by bearing seals which are standard
on Torqseal valves.

LOW EMISSION SHAFT SEALS 0 100 ppm

NEW STEM SEAL TECHNOLOGY PIONEERED BY VELAN

Velan is continuing its efforts in updating the low emission technology which, in the case of butterfly valves,
concerns the stem seal alone (no body-bonnet joint)
to newly emerging standards.

As a result of extensive tests conducted by Velan between

1966 and 1972, a new technology emerged at the time
for high performance, leakproof, long life, and low maintenance stem seals for nuclear power, now available for
all industries and applications.

ASSURES LOWEST POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL EMISSIONS

The new European specification, called TA-LUFT which
is controlled by a section of the German TUV agency
(Technischer berwachungs-Verein), demands a maximum leakage of less than 1 ppm (0.0014 ppm) for critical
valves. Certification issued after extensive pressure and

cycling tests with H.P. helium, witnessed by TA-LUFT

inspectors, assures the design and performance of a
given stem seal to be equivalent to a bellows seal design.
Velan has qualified two different stem seal designs to the
TA-LUFT regulations.

RELIABILITY THROUGH FUNCTIONAL QUALIFICATION

COLD CYCLING TEST (1000 CYCLES)

Reliability of valve operation affects service life and

maintenance. To predict reliability, a sound valve design,
backed up by a stress analysis must be subjected to functional cycle testing under critical operating conditions.

820 psi water to test preferred seat side.

490 psi water to test non-preferred seat side.

To develop the Velan Torqseal Triple-Offset Metal-Seated

Butterfly valves, it required an unusual effort and extended period of time as many competitive valves in the
same category, tested in our R&D, showed repeated leaks
of seats and laminated disc gaskets. Some highlights of
the tests performed in our R&D laboratory are shown
here. Detailed reports are available on request.

Cold temperature
testing to -314F.

Cryogenic Torqseal
valve in our Lyon,
France facility.

HYDROSTATIC TESTS
Valve passed testing with zero leakage.

ACCEPTABLE RESULTS
API 598 resilient seat standard for laminated seal.
API 598 metal seat standard for solid seal.

HOT CYCLING TESTS

Requirement: 1000 Cycles 150200 psi superheated
steam at 650900F.
The valve under flow of steam at 150200 psi
superheated to 800900F passed 7250 cycles
without seizing or jamming.

Seat bubble test performed on 8ISO Class Lug style

Torqseal valve. (0 bubbles accepted).

AMBIENT CYCLING TESTS

Valve passed: 5000 Cycles with preferred flow direction,
3000 Cycles with nonpreferred flow direction and zero
leakage at seats and gasket.
Also tested 8 Class 300 to 30,000 cycles with no jamming.

TEST REPORTS

1.

The valve was tested first to API 598 with zero seat
leakage in preferred and non-preferred direction
and zero external leakage.

2. Valve during burn period is exposed to 1400 -1800F

(760-980C) flames for the duration of 30 minutes. Then
the test is repeated in the non-preferred direction.

Valve after two fire tests,

maintains zero seat and

AIR AND ELECTRIC ACTUATORS

Velan supplies high quality actuators for pneumatically,
electrically and hydraulically operated butterfly valves.
All actuators are totally enclosed. All moving parts are
permanently lubricated. Actuators can be installed in the
field although it is preferable that they be installed and
tested in the factory.

ACTUATION GUIDELINES
The Torqseal Triple-Offset design concept of the
Torqseal Butterfly Valve differs from that of a standard
quarter-turn valve in terms of seating characteristic.
A typical valve (i.e. ball or high performance butterfly)
is position seated and has a set rotation of 0 to 90.
In order to prevent over-traveling when automating
this type of valve, travel stops are used on air
operators and limit switches on motor operators.
The Torqseal Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve, on the other
hand, is torque seated and requires a set torque from
the operator to fully close the valve. Because of this
characteristic, there is no defined seating position,
and in general the valve requires 5-10 of over-travel
for a tight seal. Therefore, the travel stop or limit
switch should not be used on the closed position.
The actuators closing torque, properly sized for the
application and valve size, should be used instead.
In order to protect the valve stem, this torque should
always be limited by either:
a) The torque switch in a motor operator.
b) The spring torque in a fail-closed air operator.
c) A regulator for a double-acting or fail-open
air operator.

OPTIONS
STEAM JACKETS

STEM
EXTENSIONS

Steam jackets are also

available for Torqseal
valves in both the bolt-on
and weld on design.
Torqseal valves with
steam jackets are an ideal
choice for applications
where the media tends to
crystallize when cooled
down, such as sulphur
and other applications.

Torqseal valves are

available with stem
extension for buried
service applications
among others.
Chain wheel
operators are also
available.

SPECIAL
CLEANING

BEARING
LUBRICATION

Special cleaning
(oxygen, chlorine etc.)
available on all
Torqseal valves.

Grease from a standard

grease fitting is distributed to the shaft
through a groove in
the outside diameter
of the bearing and
from radial holes in
the bushings well.

Please consult the

factory for further

CLOSING TORQUES VS. DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FOR 0 LEAKAGE

The top two graphs show closing torques arranged by
valve size. The same curves are valid for both pressure

classes. The bottom two diagrams indicate torques related to

150, 290 and 750 psi (1, 2 and 5 MPa) differential pressure.

NOTE: Torques are for full bi-directional sealing. Please consult Quarter Turn Metal-Seated Marketing Division for torque calculations.
