Design varies (flat, concave) depending on sealing requirements.<\/li><li><strong>Stem:<\/strong>\u00a0The shaft connecting the disc to the actuator, transmitting the rotational force. High tensile strength materials are critical. Can be one-piece (common in concentric valves) or two-piece\/split designs (common in eccentric valves) to isolate the disc from body deformation.<\/li><li><strong>Seat:<\/strong>\u00a0The critical sealing element. The disc presses against the seat to achieve shut-off. Most modern valves use resilient polymer seats (EPDM, NBR, Viton\u00ae, PTFE, etc.) housed in the body or on the disc, enabling tight bubble-tight seals and accommodating minor imperfections.

Sealing relies entirely on the\u00a0<em>resilience<\/em>\u00a0of the elastomeric seat compressing against the disc. Best for moderate pressures and temperatures (e.g., water, air, low-pressure steam). Economical but generally not suitable for severe throttling or high cycle rates.<\/li><li><strong>Double Offset (Double-Eccentric):<\/strong>\u00a0The stem axis is offset twice:<ul><li>Behind the centerline of the pipe bore (axial offset).<\/li><li>Off the centerline of the seat\/sealing surface (radial offset). This design minimizes contact between the disc and seat\u00a0<em>before<\/em>\u00a0final closure, reducing wear significantly during operation.

Common in HVAC, water, power, and light industrial applications.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Triple Offset (Triple-Eccentric &#8211; TOV):<\/strong>\u00a0The most advanced design. Builds on double-offset by adding a third offset: the cone angle of the seat sealing surface is offset relative to the pipe bore centerline.

Features:<ul><li>Virtually frictionless operation (disc lifts off the seat before rotating).<\/li><li>Extremely low wear, high cycle life.<\/li><li>Excellent bubble-tight shut-off at very high pressures and temperatures.<\/li><li>Ideal for severe service: high-pressure steam, corrosive chemicals, abrasive slurries, critical isolation.
