PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Velan Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve provides a bi-directional 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
Disc
Retainer
ring
Gasket(2)

Laminated
disc seal

Seating forces are generated by the torque during closing

uniformly around the entire circumference. 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.

Radial Loading
Velan provides an extra rigid retaining ring with

(1) Seat is hardfaced with Stellite as standard.
(2) The gasket is spiral wound SS/Graphite for zero leakage

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 seal. Seat is hardfaced with
Stellite to meet severe service (in lieu of soft
316SS hardfacing).
STANDARD LAMINATED
RESILIENT DISC SEAL TO
800F (427C)
One to four graphite layers
are carefully assembled
between stainless steel rings
and graphite using phenolic
LOAD
resin bond. Solid seal rings
are available for abbrasive
services as well as high
temperature applications up
Detail A
to 1112F (600C).

HP

"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.

HP

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

solids.

NOTE: The valve is marked HP for the preferred pressure side

when installing the valve (shaft side is the high pressure side for
flow assisted sealing). Valve is bi-directional

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.

TRIPLE SHAFT BLOWOUT PROTECTION

CONFORMS TO API 609
Internal

SHAFT BEARINGS The shaft is centered on two

long bearings, chromed, nitrided, or as stellite

NEW STEM SEAL TECHNOLOGY PIONEERED BY VELAN

ASSURES LOWEST POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL EMISSIONS
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. 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.

1. STANDARD LOW EMISSION STEM SEAL

WITH 0-100 PPM

OPTIONAL
LIVE-LOADING
provides predictable and
constant packing
compression for more
than 5000 cycles before
adjustment or re-packing.

1) Short and narrow packing chamber

Maximum 5 rings, 1/4" wide.
2) Large compression load required
Graphite rings precompressed to 4000 psi
for effectiveness of all rings. Gland torque must
be maintained after installation and in service to
levels shown in manuals.
3) Superior finish (32 RMS) of packing chamber and
stem (8 RMS) to assure long cycle life.
4) Stem bearing to assure concentric stem rotation,
allowing stem packing to provide maximum
sealing effectiveness.

Stem bearing

5) Two-piece gland with spherical mating surfaces

to assure an even packing load over 360%.

2. STEM SEAL WITH 0

HELIUM BUBBLES

Graphite
high density

Special High Performance Packing

is installed and then compressed using gland
bolting to approximately 80% of its "free length".
The inherent sealing ability due to its cup and
cone technology and excellent quality
of materials has been proven in standard and
very difficult valve applications, all backed up
by an intensive research program.

NEW STEM SEAL TECHNOLOGY PIONEERED BY VELAN

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 for critical valves a maximum leakage of less than
1 ppm (0.0014 ppm). 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.

3. THE TA-LUFT* SEAL

WITH LESS THAN
1 PPM (0.0014 PPM)
* Technical instructions to maintain
cleanliness of air.

1) Fully-guided stem
Stem bearings in body and gland follower
prevent wobbling and packing leakage due to
side thrust on stem.
2) Precompressed packing rings to 4000 psi.
3) Two O-Rings in gland follower provide
additional stem seal protection to assure
tightness of less than 1 ppm.
4) Live-loading
Provides constant packing compression and is
essential for this packing arrangement.
5) Two-piece flanged gland.
6) Superior finish of packing chamber (32 RMS)
and stem (8 RMS) to assure long life.

4. LANTERN RING OPTION

DOUBLE PACKED WITH
LEAK-OFF MONITORING
PURGE PORT
OPTIONAL
LIVE-LOADING
provides predictable and
constant packing
compression for more
than 5000 cycles before
adjustment or re-packing.

Double packing with leak-off monitoring purge port.

Two sets of packing rings, precompressed to 4000
psi (graphite). A lantern ring and leak-off connection
allows removal of leakage, if any, from bottom
packing set.

AIR AND ELECTRIC ACTUATORS

Velan supplies high quality actuators for pneumatically-operated butterfly valves. All actuators are totally
enclosed. External adjustment stops provide accurate adjustment for closing and opening positions. 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.
The triple-offset design concept of the Torqseal
Butterfly valve differs from that of a standard quarterturn 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,
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 510 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.

installed in Hydrocarbon
Vapor lines on return to
Fractionator and they
operate at approximately
850F @ 50 psi. Steam
purges were installed to
keep the coke fines and
partially cracked,
polymeric, residual
hydrocarbons out of the
valve seat area.

OPTIONS
STEM EXTENSIONS
Torqseal valves are available with stem extension
for buried service applications among others.
Chain wheel operators are also available.

STEAM JACKETS
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.

BEARING LUBRICATION
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.

SPECIAL CLEANING
Special cleaning (oxygen, chlorine etc.)
available on all Torqseal. Please consult the
factory for further information.

RELIABILITY THROUGH FUNCTIONAL QUALIFICATION TESTS

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.

AMBIENT CYCLING TESTS

Valve passed:
5000 Cycles with preferred flow direction,
3000 Cycles with nonpreferred flow direction and
zero leakage at seats and gasket

To develop the Velan Torqseal Triple-Offset MetalSeated 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.

Also tested 8 Class 300 to 30,000 cycles

with no jamming.

HYDROSTATIC TESTS
Valve passed testing with zero leakage.

ACCEPTABLE RESULTS
