The Metal Seated Triple Offset Butterfly Valve is a variant of the high-performance butterfly valve that features a metal-to-metal seat design, making it suitable for extreme temperatures and high-pressure applications. The triple offset geometry—featuring three precise offsets in the valve design—ensures that the sealing surfaces do not wear under high pressures, while also providing a tight shut-off and minimal leakage. These valves are often used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation, where the need for a durable and reliable sealing solution is critical. The metal seat allows the valve to handle high temperatures and aggressive media that would otherwise damage traditional elastomeric seated valves.
