Fire-Safe Triple Offset Butterfly Valve

In 2006, Hobbs Valve became the first manufacturer to produce a fire-safe Triple Offset
Butterfly Valve and in 2010 they were the first manufacturer to deliver a fire-safe certified
nickel aluminium bronze Triple Offset Butterfly Valve to the later standards BS EN ISO
10497:2010.
With this release, Hobbs Valve can offer an innovative solution to such applications as
onshore and offshore fire mains service with excellent corrosion resistance.
Non-Graphite Triple Offset Butterfly Valve
Hobbs Valve continued its innovative nature and engineered what they believe to be the
first fire-safe certified nongraphite Triple Offset Butterfly Valve, eliminating the chances of
galvanic corrosion through the use of graphite in Duplex and Super Duplex. Test results
certified by Lloyds Register indicated exceptional performance. The Hobbs Valve TVT range
recorded zero leakage in both preferred and reverse flow directions on Through Seat
Leakage and external leakage at 15 bar G at up to 1000C during the 30 minute burn period.
Double Block & Bleed Valve
Hobbs Double Block & Bleed Valve guarantees zero leakage and is safe for critical
applications with verifiable and maintainable shut off.
Before release of the Double Block & Bleed Valve two individual isolations valves would
have to be used. This would include a spool piece and a bleed valve which recognised cost
and weight but increased the risk of emissions because of the multiple flanged faces. After
seeing the benefits the Triple Offset Butterfly Valves can bring, Hobbs Valve devised a way
to incorporate these features into a three piece valve assemble manufactured within a one
piece cast body.
The Double Block & Bleed range has increased cavity between both discs, reducing the
possibility of a breach during full pressurisation and further enhancing safety perform In
2006, Hobbs Valve became the first manufacturer to produce a fire-safe Triple Offset
Butterfly Valve and in 2010 they were the first manufacturer to deliver a fire-safe certified

The Cryogenic Valve
The Cryogenic Butterfly Valve is designed to withstand the harsh conditions felt when
dealing with cryogenic fluids (temperatures as low as -196C) and has benefit of quick
operation due to the quarter turn design.
Hobbs Cryogenic Valve range gives the requirements for Cryogenic duties including leak
tight isolation, throttling, flow control as well as having the range of benefits associated with
Hobbs triple offset technology. Triple Offset design & unique sealing method results in zero
leakage performance which allows full isolation to be maintained in cryogenic conditions.
The valves also have an extended bonnet with an adequate gas column to keep the shaft
(stem) packing away from cryogenic fluids.

Triple Offset Technology?Alternatively, head over to the solutions centre and speak to a

Valve Coatings for Severe Application

Process Industry Forum article; by Hobbs Valve Limited

Valves are used in every plant or process application worldwide. They are essential for modulating, regulating
or isolating media in pipelines. Increasingly, engineers and plant designers are expecting more from their
valves; they want them to last longer, perform better, wear less, erode less and fail less all in more severe or
harsh environments.
Hobbs Valve aim to be leaders in the design and manufacture of Triple Offset Butterfly Valves and as a result
have recently concluded an investigation into which materials were most suitable for our valves in severe
applications. A number of hard faced test pieces were used in materials common within industry for severe
service applications. Amongst which were Titanium Nitride and industry standard Stellite 6. The tests were
performed under laboratory conditions at Cranfield University.

Aims and Objectives

To identify suitable coatings which can be applied to the sealing surfaces of a Triple Offset Butterfly Valve.
To identify the most common wear mechanisms which a Triple Offset Butterfly Valve may encounter.
To perform wear tests on a series of coatings to identify the most effective coating.

Methodology
2 types of testing were carried out; Erosion testing and Abrasion testing. The primary mechanisms of wear that
are likely to occur during the lifetime of a valve are erosion by solid particle impact and low stress three body
abrasion.

Erosion testing

Two tests were conducted at 50 & 100 m/s

Impact angle was 90 degrees
Erodent feed rate of 0.5g/min
Tests conducted at room temperature.
The erosion rate was calculated for each specimen as a mass loss per mass of erodent impacting the specimen.

Abrasion testing
Performed in accordance with ASTM G65
Erodent feed rate of 200 g/min
Wheel set of 120 rpm
The wear rate was calculated for each specimen as a mass loss per wear distance travelled.

Results
Hobbs found that TiN (Titanium Nitride) achieved the greatest results under both the erosion and abrasion
wear mechanisms. It was found the substrate has a large influence on the coating ability to resist wear and it
was found the rate of erosion is directly related to particle velocity.

Conclusion
The TOV industry standard is to use a Stellite 6 coating on sealing components to prolong the life of a valve;
this weld overlay process is time consuming and costly to apply and machine. When the valve is open these
sealing components are exposed to full flow path of the media. Our investigation clearly indicates that in such
environments Stellite is not the best option when prolonging the life of your valve; it can wear quickly and
might lead to valve leakages and premature failure.

TA LUFT Certification Now Available

October 2013;
This October Hobbs Valve successfully completed TA Luft fugitive emissions testing to
coincide with the existing ISO15848-1:2006 certification already available for the TVT range
of valves.
The test was undertaken at TV Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH premises in Cologne
under strict environmental conditions. The performed tests also cover the requirements of
the TA Luft -Technical Instructions for Air Pollution Control, Section 5.2.6.4 with VDI 2440,
Section 3.3.1.3.
The selection of a Class 300 valve required an ambient test pressure to be maintained at 740
psig (51.02 bar) and a 200C test pressure at 635 psig (43.78 bar) with a pressure variance of
+/-10 psig. Utilising Helium as the test medium the valve withstood 4 thermal phases of
temperature up to 200C whilst being operated up to 2500 cycles.
Test results certified by TV indicated exceptional performance.
At Hobbs Valve we are supremely confident in the quality and performance of our products,
which is why we choose for the tests to be performed away from our manufacturing facility
at third party premises.
In August 2012, the Hobbs Valve TVT range of Triple Offset Butterfly Valves had previously
successfully passed the Fugitive Emissions test requirements of international standard ISO
15848-1:2006; Industrial valves Measurement, test and qualification procedures for
fugitive emissions Part 1: Classification system and qualification procedures for type
testing of valves (ISO 15848-1:2006).

ISO15848-1 Testing on this occasion was performed by DET NORSKE VERITAS (DNV) in
Houston, TX.
