TIANYU Triple Offset Metal Hard-Seal Flanged Butterfly Valve: Reliable Control for Harsh Industrial Conditions

I. Product Technical Overview

The TIANYU triple offset metal hard-seal flanged butterfly valve features a triple-eccentric geometry (offsets between the stem axis, disc center, sealing surface centerline, and disc rotation axis). Equipped with a worm gear actuator, it uses ductile iron/WCB body, stainless steel disc with Stellite hard-seal coating, and stainless steel stem. Designed for high-temperature (≤425℃), high-pressure (≤6.4MPa), corrosive/abrasive media (e.g., petrochemical steam, power plant desulfurization slurry, metallurgical gas, municipal heating), it meets strict shut-off and regulation needs in industrial piping systems.

II. Core Advantages

(A) Triple-Eccentric Structure: Zero Friction & Self-Tightening Seal

Three Offsets:
1. Radial offset (stem vs. disc center).
2. Axial offset (stem vs. sealing surface centerline).
3. Angular offset (sealing surface vs. disc rotation axis).
  The disc disengages from the seat within 5° of opening (near-zero friction) and self-tightens during closing, achieving ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class VI bubble-tight leakage (metal-to-metal seal).
Extended Lifespan: Eliminates seal wear during operation, doubling service life in abrasive media (e.g., blast furnace gas) compared to double-offset valves.

(B) Metal Hard-Seal System: Harsh Condition Adaptability

Seal Technology:
The disc’s sealing surface uses Stellite 6/21 hard alloy overlay (≥2mm thickness) via plasma cladding, ensuring ≥200MPa bond strength, HRC 45-55 hardness, and resistance to 800℃ short-term heat and particle erosion (e.g., coal dust, slag).
Bidirectional Sealing:
Combines triple eccentricity with metal sealing for bidirectional zero leakage, suitable for high-temperature steam (350℃, 4.0MPa) and corrosive slurries (pH 2-12).

(C) Worm Gear Actuation: High Torque & Precision

Torque Efficiency:
Worm gearboxes (ratio 1:30–1:60) deliver ≥1000N·m torque (DN300), ideal for large diameters (≤DN1200). Manual operation requires ≤80N·m (API 609 compliant).
Mechanical Lock:
Worm gear drive provides self-locking to prevent disc movement from media backpressure, ensuring system safety (e.g., high-pressure steam lines).

Body	Ductile Iron (QT450)/WCB	QT450: ≥450MPa tensile, ≥27J impact at -20℃; WCB: ≤425℃, hydrogen embrittlement resistance.

Application

V. Application Scenarios

(A) Petrochemical: High-Temperature Steam/Oil

In refinery catalytic cracking steam lines (350℃, 4.0MPa), the metal hard-seal resists heat, and triple eccentricity prevents stem corrosion from condensate. A DN600 valve achieved 3-year leak-free operation, doubling maintenance intervals.

(B) Power: Desulfurization & Cooling Water

In power plant desulfurization slurry lines (pH 2-12, 80℃), 316L + Stellite resists corrosion, and worm gear drives large (DN800) valves. A 600MW unit saw 100,000 cycle reliability, reducing slurry leakage by 70%.

(C) Metallurgy: Blast Furnace Gas

In steel mill blast furnace gas lines (250℃, 1.6MPa, coal dust), triple eccentricity prevents clogging, and metal sealing stops gas leaks. A DN1000 valve replaced a gate valve, cutting flow resistance by 40% and energy use by 15%.

(D) Municipal: High-Temperature Heating

In city district heating networks (150℃, 1.6MPa), ductile iron resists corrosion, and metal sealing ensures long-term leakage. A DN300 valve operated winter continuously, slashing maintenance costs by 30%.
