The right valve for the job

摘要

Valves can be used to relieve pressure (safety valves), mix and direct flow (control valves) and isolate one section of pipework from another (isolation valves of various designs - for example, ball, gate and butterfly valves). Where absolute isolation is necessary for process or safety considerations, the selection of the correct valve becomes critical. For almost 50 years the triple offset valve has been continuously developed to fill this space. Known as triple offset because the axis controlling rotation and seating are displaced from their traditional position, these valves offer some unique benefits to many industry applications, the greatest being low torque sealing and high integrity sealing.
