 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
Seating forces are generated by the torque during closing
Disc 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
Retainer provide a tight bi-directional shut off. The resiliency of the
ring seal allows the valve body and disc to contract or expand,
without the risk of jamming due to temperature fluctuations.

 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

than 5000 cycles before

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,
Stem bearing allowing stem packing to provide maximum
sealing effectiveness.
5) Two-piece gland with spherical mating surfaces
to assure an even packing load over 360%.

 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 Überwachungs-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

LEAK-OFF MONITORING
PURGE PORT
OPTIONAL
LIVE-LOADING
provides predictable and
constant 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 quarter-
turn 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 90º. 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 5-
10º of over-travel for a tight seal. Therefore, the travel
stop or limit switch should not be used on the closed
position. The actuator’s 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.
