Double Eccentric High performance Butterfly Valve
The double eccentric high performance butterfly valve — also known as a double offset butterfly valve — is an advanced double offset design product incorporating world-leading technology for demanding industrial service. It features two distinct shaft offsets that cam the disc away from the seat immediately upon opening, eliminating continuous seat contact during operation — a significant advantage over concentric butterfly valves.
The tension on the disc is released after just a few degrees of opening, minimizing wear on the disc seal throughout the valve's service life. This double offset geometry reduces operating torque, minimizes friction and seat wear, and ensures reliable sealing even under sudden changes in temperature or pressure — making it the preferred choice for high-pressure, high-temperature, and safety-critical industrial environments. With API 607 fire-safe certification and ATEX certification, Nortech double eccentric high performance butterfly valves are qualified for the most demanding and hazardous working conditions.
All valves are validated to a 1,000,000-cycle life test with confirmed zero-leakage bi-directional performance, meeting the highest standards for long-term reliability and safety.
Nortech maintains a large stock of valve body castings, ensuring quick delivery in 3–5 weeks for most standard orders.
Double offset disc geometry — the disc cams away from the seat after just a few degrees of opening, eliminating seat friction throughout the full stroke and dramatically extending seat life compared to concentric designs.

Designed for rapid cycling applications such as air separation systems, the valve can complete a full open/close cycle in under one second, with a validated service life of up to 1,000,000 operating cycles.
The PPL seat material is rated for continuous operation up to 250°C, making the valve suitable for high-temperature process systems.
The double eccentric design provides reliable 6-stage bidirectional sealing under high-pressure conditions, with proven performance in condensate polishing systems and similar demanding applications.
Valves for oxygen service are fully degreased and assembled under strict cleanliness procedures, covering all stages of component preparation, assembly, testing, and packaging in compliance with oxygen-service requirements.
API 607 fire-safe certification and ATEX certification qualify the valve for use in flammable, explosive, and fire-risk working environments.
