Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve (TOBV)

The most advanced butterfly valve design with three geometric offsets, achieving metal-to-metal shutoff equivalent to Class IV/V. Used for high-temperature steam, hydrocarbons, and critical isolation where zero leakage is needed. Rated to Class 150–2500, -196 degrees C to +850 degrees C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve (TOBV)?

The most advanced butterfly valve design with three geometric offsets, achieving metal-to-metal shutoff equivalent to Class IV/V. Used for high-temperature steam, hydrocarbons, and critical isolation where zero leakage is needed. Rated to Class 150–2500, -196 degrees C to +850 degrees C.

What is a Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve (TOBV) used for?

Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve (TOBV)s are used in industrial piping systems for on-off isolation, flow control, or backflow prevention depending on the valve type. They are selected based on the process fluid, operating pressure and temperature, required shutoff class, and pipeline size. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve (TOBV)s certified to API 6D, ASME B16.34, and other applicable standards.

How do I select the right Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve (TOBV) for my application?

Selecting the correct Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve (TOBV) requires specifying: (1) nominal pipe size (NPS/DN), (2) pressure class per ASME B16.34, (3) body and trim material based on fluid compatibility and temperature, (4) end connections (flanged RF/RTJ, butt-weld, socket-weld, or threaded), (5) required certifications (API 6D, ISO 9001, fire-safe API 607).
