What's the difference between cocentric and eccentric/ offset butterfly valve?


Cocentric butterfly valve is widely used in water treatment and other industries, because of its advantages: light weight, small size and easy installation, low cost. But due to its design, it’s limited in many cases. However, offset/eccentric butterfly valve could help. Below are some basic differences between cocentric butterfly valve and offset butterfly valve.

Appearance.
 You could easily distinguish them from the appearance, because of totally different design structure.

Internal Difference.
 1. Center line butterfly valve disc is simple, just a disc, but eccentric butterfly valve disc is combined with disc seal, seal retaining ring, and retaining bolt.

3. The sealing of center line is also simple, the disc touch the rubber seat directly, while eccentric butterfly valve with a additional laminated disc seal touched with a metal body seat.

4. Eccentric butterfly valve seat is metal while center line butterfly is only soft seat, could be integral body seat or replaceable welded seat.

Application.

2. Center line butterfly valve can only reach a pressure of 150LB/PN25, while offset butterfly could up to 600LB/PN100.

3. Temperature. Because of the different design of the seal structure, the center line rubber seat can’t bear a high temp, but offset butterfly valve could work with hard seal design.

The advantages and disadvantages are apparently, and very easy to choose which one to use for a real condition. When the pressure is high, or requires a high temperature, must used a eccentric butterfly.

  1. A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure.
