Unique Valve Seat Designsue Valve Seat Soft Seat

Design
Xomox is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high performance butterfly valves. Based on
many years of research, development and field experience, the TUFLINE design is superior to and
more versatile than the High Performance Butterfly Valve design offered by other manufacturers.
The TUFLINE Soft Seat valve provides a bi-directional bubble tight shutoff (zero leakage) by the use
of a patented seat. This unique seat design creates a self-energized seal in vacuum-to-low pressure
applications. Under higher pressure conditions, the seat is also designed to permit, confine and direct
movement of the soft seat against the disc edge, up to the full ANSI Class 150 and 300 cold working
pressures. The Soft Seat is designed for service with minimal wear and low torque. Seat replacement
is a simple operation, requiring no special tools.
The TUFLINE metal-to-metal seated high performance butterfly valve incorporates an Inconel seat for
higher tensile strength, a 300 series stainless steel back-up ring in the seat cavity for axial seat support,
and a disc that is case hardened by nitriding. The Inconel seat, by its dynamic and flexible design,
applies enough force per linear inch against the disc edge (Rockwell Hardness of C66 to C70) to obtain
an optimum sealing characteristic while controlling the loads between the metal surfaces. The
TUFLINE metal-to-metal seat valve is utilized for temperatures up to 900°F, in compliance with ANSI
B16.34 pressure/temperature specifications. Leakage is rated at Class IV per ANSI FCI 70-2.

The TUFLINE fire tested high performance butterfly valve design incorporates two patented seats which
function together to seal off pipeline flow. In normal operation, the soft seat provides a bi-directional
“bubble tight” shutoff (zero leakage); the metal seat provides bi-directional shutoff in the event of a fire,
in conformance to industry fire-safe requirements. With little or no pressure, the fire tested seat creates
a self-energized seal against the disc. Higher line pressures act on the geometry of both seats to
dynamically load them against the disc, creating higher sealing forces in either direction. The fire tested
metal seat is made of Inconel material which is shaped by a proprietary hydroforming process into its
unique, patented design. Stainless steel outer bearings are included for post-fire disc and shaft
alignment. Fireproof packing is used to prevent external shaft leakage.

DISC CLOSED, Self-Energized Seal
In Figure 2, the disc and seat are engaged, and the process fluid
is under low pressure. The edge of the disc, with a larger diameter
than the seat tongue, directs movement of the seat radially outward,
causing the seat to compress against the convergent sidewalls of
the cavity. The elastomeric o-ring imparts a mechanical pre-load
between the disc and seat tongue as it is compressed and flattened
by the disc; this is the self-energized mode for sealing at vacuum-
to-60 psig.
As the seat moves radially outward, the seat shoulders move
away from the cavity shoulders and open the cavity to the process
media.
Figure 3
DISC CLOSED, Pressure-Energized Seal
(Seat Upstream) Pressure

As line pressure increases, the process fluid enters the sidewall

area and applies a load against the parallel-spaced sidewall and
convergent sidewall of the seat. The seat and cavity design permits
the seat to move axially to the downstream sidewall, but confines the
movement and directs the movement radially inward towards the
disc; the higher the line pressure, the tighter the seal between the
disc and seat. Because the o-ring is elastic, it is able to flex and
deform under loads and return to original shape after removal of the
load; it is the rubber which deforms, not the thermoplastic material.
This dynamic seal is totally unique among high performance
butterfly valves. Figure 4

The valve is bi-directional (in some instances, modifications
may be required to operate this arrangement for dead end service).
The cavity and seat sidewalls are symmetrically designed to permit,
confine and direct movement of the seat to the disc to dynamically
seal with line pressure in the reverse direction. The disc edge is the
segment of a sphere, and the seat is angled towards the disc edge
to seal with pipeline pressure in either direction.
Recommended installation direction is “SUS” (seat upstream),
as in Figure 3.

a spherical surface and conical surface. Figure 1 illustrates a typical
globe control valve seat and plug. The plug seating surface is the
segment of a sphere; when engaged against the seat ring, a line

In a metal seat design, it is necessary to apply enough force per linear
inch to maintain a tight metal-to-metal contact between the sealing
members; however, high linear thrust can cause a collapse of the
seating members (“bearing failure”). SEAT RING

(Seat Upstream)
Pressure
As line pressure increases, the process fluid enters the sidewall area and
applies a load against the parallel-spaced sidewall and convergent sidewall
of the metal seat. The seat moves towards the downstream sidewall while
being supported axially by the support ring, as shown in Figure 3. The cavity
shape confines the seat movement and directs the movement radially inward
towards the disc; the higher the line pressure, the tighter the line contact
between the disc and seat. The Inconel seat, shaped by a special hydroform-
ing process, is able to flex under these loads and return to its original shape
after removal of the loads.
This dynamic seal is totally unique among high performance butterfly valves.

The stainless steel back-up ring interacts dynamically with the metal
seat for axial support in seat sealing. Additionally, this ring effectively
restricts corrosion and particulate build-up in the cavity.

DISC CLOSED, Normal Operation Figure 2

In Figure 2, the disc and seat assembly are engaged; both the metal seat
and the soft seat are in contact with the disc. Under little to no pressure
conditions, both seats are self-energized. The disc edge, with a larger
diameter than the seat tongues, moves the seats radially outward; the
metal seat shape, with a mechanical and dynamic flexibility, is designed
to be hoop-loaded and impart a spring force against the disc, while the
soft seat o-ring is stretched and flattened (without deformation of the
material) and imparts a mechanical pre-load against the disc.
With increased line pressure, the process fluid enters the cavity sidewall
area and applies loads against the seat sidewalls. The cavity design
allows the seats to move toward the downstream sidewalls, but confines
and directs the movement radially inward towards the disc; the higher the
pressure the tighter the seal. The symmetrical shape and angle of the
cavity permit the seal to be bi-directional. Figure 3
DISC CLOSED, After Fire (Seat Upstream) Pressure
After a fire, with partial or complete destruction of the soft seat, the
metal seat maintains metal-to-metal contact with the disc and restricts
leakage of the process fluid in conformance to industry fire-safe
requirements.
With little or no line pressure, the spring force and hoop load of the
metal seat maintain a “line contact” seal against the disc edge. Under
higher pressures, the process fluid enters the cavity sidewall areas and
applies loads against the seat sidewalls (Figure 3). The geometry of the
metal seat permits the seat to move axially, but directs the movement
radially inward toward the disc; The higher the pressure, the tighter the
line contact seal.
Graphite gaskets, on both sides of the metal seat tail, seal the
anchoring groove and prevent leakage of the process fluid. Figure 4

DISC CLOSED, After Fire (Seat Downstream)

Pressure
The fire tested valve is bi-directional, however, modifications are
required to operate for bi-directional dead end service. The angle and
shape of the cavity and metal seat maintains metal-to-metal contact in
the event of partial or complete soft seat destruction with line pressure
in the reverse direction (Figure 4).
While the preferred flow direction is “seat upstream” (SUS), the bi-
directional seat design is both self-energized and pressure-energized
if the flow direction is “seat downstream” (SDS).

In the SDS position, the line pressure tends to assist in keeeping the valve disc closed; also, line pressure
