Product Introduction
The Wafer Type Double Eccentric High Performance Butterfly Valve is designed for demanding industrial applications requiring tight sealing, high pressure resistance, and long service life.
Its double offset design minimizes seat wear by allowing the disc to disengage from the seat immediately after a few degrees of opening, greatly reducing friction and torque while extending the seat life.
This high-performance valve is suitable for a wide range of fluids — including water, steam, air, oil, and chemical media — and is widely used in power plants, petrochemical facilities, water treatment, and industrial pipelines where both pressure and reliability are critical.
Product Features & Advantages
Double Eccentric Design: The shaft center is offset from both the valve and pipe centerlines, reducing friction and ensuring smooth, low-torque operation.
Excellent Sealing Performance: Metal or soft sealing options ensure zero leakage under Class 150/300 conditions.
Longer Service Life: Reduced wear between disc and seat during opening/closing, ideal for frequent operation.
High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Suitable for working conditions up to Class 300 and temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).
Compact Wafer Type Body: Saves installation space and simplifies maintenance.
Versatile Seat Options: Soft seat (PTFE, RPTFE, VITON) and metal seat (Stellite overlay, SS, Duplex) available.
Actuation Flexibility: Can be operated by lever, worm gear, pneumatic, or electric actuator.
Technical Comparison: Double Eccentric vs. Centerline Butterfly Valve
