Product Overview

Certified for SIL 3 and Fire-Tested for Safe and Reliable Industrial Flow Control

High-Performance Valve for Petrochemical and Power Sectors

Tri Lok® is the preferred isolation valve for vacuum to high-pressure applications. The zero-friction metal seal ring provides zero-leakage bidirectional sealing with minimal torque and is fire-test certified. Compared to gate, globe, or ball valves of the same size and pressure class, Tri Lok saves space and reduces weight while minimizing installation and maintenance costs.

Features and Benefits

Triple-offset Tri Lok®-Cx features and benefits

A Seat & Seal System

Fully field-replaceable seat and seal extend overall service life, minimize downtime, and reduce costly off-site repair or full replacement.

B Enhanced Seat Hardness

Superior performance, durability, and wear resistance compared to other materials, eliminating the risk of seat/seal wear.

C Sealing System

The non-rubbing, metal-to-metal sealing system is inherently firesafe and fire-tested, while meeting zero-leakage requirements for many critical applications.

D Packing Ring

Offers a flexible design and wide range of materials to provide torque-loaded sealing with zero leakage. (Solid packing ring optional).

E Splined Disc-to-Stem Connection

A robust and reliable connection that allows the stem to move axially independent of the disc, protecting the disc/stem connection from temperature fluctuations and pressure effects. This connection prevents common misalignment issues of rigidly connected discs and stems, minimizes hysteresis, eliminates external connections and associated hardware, and simplifies assembly and disassembly.

F Stem Packing

Fully-adjustable, field-replaceable stem packing is certified to international fugitive emission standards.

G Blowout-Proof Stem

One-piece stem features blowout prevention ring located outside of the pressure boundary, as well as redundant blowout prevention mechanisms.

H Indexed Stem

Provides visual indication of disc/packing ring position after installation.

I Extended Stem Bearings

Hardened bearings provide maximum stem support.

FAQ

Why is the Tri Lok®-Cx triple-offset butterfly valve suitable for critical isolation applications in petrochemical, power generation, and other industries?

The Tri Lok®-Cx features a friction-free metal-to-metal sealing system that achieves bidirectional zero-leakage sealing and is fire-tested, suitable for isolation requirements from vacuum to high pressure. This series has SIL 3 capability, making it suitable for applications requiring high safety and sealing reliability such as petrochemical, power generation, chemical, LNG/liquefaction, geothermal steam, and bulk liquid storage.

What standard is used to verify the sealing performance of the Tri Lok®-Cx, and does it support bidirectional shut-off?

This valve supports bidirectional zero-leakage sealing, with sealing test grade conforming to EN 12266 Rate A. Its metal-to-metal sealing design is non-rubbing, which helps reduce seal face wear risk during opening and closing, meeting the tight shut-off requirements of many critical applications.

What pressure, temperature, and connection conditions need to be confirmed when selecting the Tri Lok®-Cx?

Selection should confirm pipeline size, media, operating temperature, operating pressure, flange standard, and actuator interface requirements. The Tri Lok®-Cx covers DN 80 to DN 600, with a temperature range of -60°C to 400°C and a maximum allowable operating pressure of 40 bar. It is available in lug and double flange body styles, with flange drilling compatible with EN 1092-1 PN 10, PN 25, and PN 40, and a top flange conforming to ISO 5211. Specific configuration should be confirmed based on the actual model and application conditions.

What installation advantages does the Tri Lok®-Cx offer compared to gate valves, globe valves, or ball valves of the same size?

At the same size and pressure rating, the Tri Lok®-Cx saves installation space and reduces weight compared to gate valves, globe valves, or ball valves, helping reduce installation and maintenance costs. Its triple-offset design achieves shut-off with lower torque, making it suitable for industrial pipelines with space and operational efficiency requirements.

What components of the Tri Lok®-Cx help reduce downtime during field maintenance?

The valve's seat and seals are fully replaceable in the field, reducing the need for off-site repair or full valve replacement. The stem packing supports adjustment and field replacement and complies with international fugitive emission standards. The indexed stem provides visual indication of disc and packing ring position after installation, facilitating inspection and maintenance.
