 VELAN COMPANY PROFILE
Velan is one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial steel valves,
supplying gate, globe, check, ball, butterfly and knife gate valves for critical
applications in the chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, fossil and nuclear
power, cogeneration, pulp and paper and cryogenic industries. See the back
cover of this catalog for a summary of the many quality products that Velan
designs and manufactures.
Founded in 1950, Velan earned a reputation for excellence as a major supplier of
forged valves for nuclear power plants and the U.S. Navy. Velan Inc. pioneered
many designs which became industry standards, including bellows seal valves,
all stainless steel knife gate valves and forged valves up to 24".
Velan valves are manufactured in 12 specialized manufacturing plants, including
5 in Canada and U.S.A., 4 in Europe and 3 in Asia. We have a total of over 1,500
employees, 75% of whom are located in our North American operations.
Velan’s Zero Leakage Torqseal Triple-Offset Butterfly Valves are high quality
valves built for long, reliable service life in critical services. From offshore oil
platforms, to nuclear power plants, to petroleum refineries, leading construction
/engineering firms and industrial end user companies rely on Velan’s Torqseal
Triple-Offset Butterfly Valves to keep their operations running smoothly.
The wide product line extends from valves for cryogenics to high temperatures
and pressures (ASME Class 600), standard to specialty materials
(monel, inconel, titanium) and sizes up to 48”.

 ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS
Velan’s Engineering Design and Applications Group is
comprised of approximately 50 professional engineers
with extensive experience in critical applications across
a broad range of industries. Equipped with advanced
software applications, including finite element analysis
(FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and 3D solid
modeling, Velan engineers design superior quality valves
that meet the most demanding performance require-
ments. Velan’s R&D facilities, equipped with steam boilers
and superheaters, flow loops and cryogenic test stands,
provide the company with extensive testing capabilities.

Whether we are refining the design of our standard

valves, or engineering valves to meet the demands of a
specific application, Velan’s vast engineering resources
can handle the task. In fact, Velan has a long history of
partnering with major architect/engineers, electric utilities
and other end users to develop innovative solutions for
their valving needs. CMM performing dimensional inspection after final machining.

All welding techniques employed at Velan are in

accordance with qualified welding procedures for

 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Velan Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve provides a bi- shut-off position without rubbing or galling, providing a
directional bubble tight shut-off. This geometry ensures torque generated resilient seal with sufficient “wedging”
that the disc seal contacts the body seat only at the final 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
Torque seating during closing of the valve provides
Disc uniform forces around the entire circumference of the
valve seat. The resilient seal flexes and energizes,
assuming the shape of the seat. The compression forces

 VALVE DESIGN FEATURES

compressive sealing around the entire seat and a “tight”,

● "ZERO LEAKAGE" - SEAT TIGHTNESS
(API 598 RESILIENT SEAT STANDARD)
The disc seal, evenly compressed around its
circumference, produces a wedging effect which flexes
the seal ring and reacts like a spring. The resilient seal
assures "zero leakage" of liquids or gases to API 598 -

movement during thermal cycles while retaining tight

 NEW STEM SEAL TECHNOLOGY PIONEERED BY VELAN

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 main-
tenance stem seals for nuclear power, now available for
all industries and applications.
Velan is continuing its efforts in updating the low emis-
sion technology which, in the case of butterfly valves,
concerns the stem seal alone (no body-bonnet joint)
to newly emerging standards.

2) Large compression load required
Graphite rings precompressed to 4000 psi

maintained after installation and in service to levels

3) Superior finish (32 RMS) of packing chamber and stem

4) Stem bearing to assure concentric stem rotation,
allowing stem packing to provide maximum sealing

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 a maxi-
mum leakage of less than 1 ppm (0.0014 ppm) for critical
valves. 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) EMISSIONS
* 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

2) Precompressed packing rings to 4000 psi.
3) Two O-Rings in gland follower provide additional
stem seal protection to assure emissions of less
than 1 ppm.
4) Live-loading

 RELIABILITY THROUGH FUNCTIONAL QUALIFICATION
Reliability of valve operation affects service life and
maintenance. To predict reliability, a sound valve design,
backed up by a stress analysis must be subjected to func-
tional cycle testing under critical operating conditions.

 AIR AND ELECTRIC ACTUATORS
Velan supplies high quality actuators for pneumatically,
electrically and hydraulically operated butterfly valves.
All actuators are totally enclosed. 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.
ACTUATION GUIDELINES
The Torqseal 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 Triple-Offset Butterfly Valve, 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.
