Executive summary: In challenging media and temperature conditions, double offset (high-performance) butterfly valves provide tight shut-off, reduced torque, and extended service life. In Ahmedabad, India, MNC VALVES designs and produces export-grade double offset butterfly valves with a track record of dependability and quick delivery for everything from crude transfer and brine dosing to steam lines and solvent handling.
What is a Double Offset Butterfly Valve?
A double offset butterfly valve (often called a high-performance butterfly valve) features two distinct shaft offsets relative to the seat and the pipeline centerline:
-
Primary offset shifts the stem behind the disc sealing plane to minimize friction on opening.
-
Secondary offset moves the stem away from the pipe centerline, creating a cam-like, eccentric closing action.
By ensuring that the disc rises off the seat instantly upon actuation, these offsets minimize operating torque, improve cycle life, and lessen seat rubbing. At high temperatures and pressures, the geometry provides high integrity sealing in metal-seated builds and bi-directional, bubble-tight shut-off in resilient-seated constructions.
Working Mechanism: Precision, Repeatability, Uptime
The eccentric disc produces a high Cv with consistent flow characteristics when it opens by disengaging from the seat with little touch and then rotating a quarter-turn (90°) to the full-open position. Only at the last degrees of travel does the camming motion re-engage the seat during closing, producing uniform sealing stress with reduced wear. MNC VALVES assemblies allow on/off and modulating control, tight hysteresis, and quick stroke times for PLC/DCS applications when combined with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators, positioners, and limit/proximity switches.

Advantages that Move the Needle
-
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Eccentric geometry reduces seat wear and torque, enabling smaller actuators, lower air/electrical consumption, and fewer unplanned outages.
-
Tight Shut-Off & Emissions Control: Quarter-turn simplicity with engineered seat loads delivers clean, reliable isolation to meet plant safety and environmental targets.
-
High Throughput in a Compact Envelope: Thin disc profile achieves high Cv and stable control while saving weight and space compared to gate/globe alternatives.
-
Material Versatility: Bodies in WCB/LCB, CF8/CF8M, duplex/SS alloys; discs in SS/duplex/Monel; shafts in 17-4PH/SS; seats in PTFE/RPTFE/metal—configured to your media, temperature, and pressure envelope.
-
Serviceability: Replaceable seats and stem seals, blow-out proof stems, live-loaded packing, and standardized mounting pads streamline maintenance.
