Fireproof Assurance: Severn’s OCT TOV Butterfly Valves Exceptional Fire Safety Design and Testing Credentials
As part of a safety‑first valve design approach, Severn incorporates into its innovative Oblique Cone Technology (OCT) Triple Offset (TOV) Butterfly Valve, fire safety is a critical part of that safety first objective. Fire testing standards state the minimum requirements the valve must achieve in order to receive fire safe certification. The standards dictate the setup & parameters required to simulate the conditions a valve may be subjected to during a hydrocarbon fire scenario, and test to ensure the valve can operate satisfactorily afterwards.
To summarise, the test consists of a valve being mounted in a fire testing rig to flow water through the valve, and measure leakage both internally past the seal as well as externally through the packings and gaskets. The valves are then pressure tested at ambient temperature, once the valve has passed this element of the test, any leakage is recorded. The valve is then subject to a simulated fire by use of gas burners, with average temperatures of between 750°C & 1000°C recorded by thermocouples for the 30‑minute fire test duration. Once complete, the flames are extinguished, and the valve is subjected to a forced cooldown using water to simulate the fire being extinguished on site.
The leakage during fire is measured and recorded. The valve is then subject to a re‑ambient temperature and post‑fire operational test, with the maximum leakage requirements being defined within the relevant API and ISO fire safety standards. The tests are carried out in both the preferred and reverse directions and are witnessed by a 3rd party approval body, giving added confidence that the fire tested butterfly valve will perform as required in either flow direction.
By investing in and developing their own on‑site fire test facility, Severn can understand and interpret the results to re‑design & develop the fire safe valve technology for the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve, to further exceed the requirements set out in the standard. By doing this, Severn have been able to achieve up to zero seat leakage, even after API 607, API 6FA and ISO 10497 fire testing, giving further confidence in safety‑critical valve applications and ensuring a safety‑first solution for the end user and their operations.
The key to Severn’s success lies in their patented Oblique Cone Technology (OCT), which received approval from the UK Intellectual Property Office in 2018. This innovative triple offset valve design uses an ‘infinite circle’ geometry that allowed the research and development team to develop the circular sealing geometry, providing the flexibility to use the valve for both control and isolation duties, with the option of interchangeable seals and control trims.
Utilising its over 60 years of valve engineering expertise, Severn have designed and developed the innovative OCT TOV Triple Offset Butterfly Valve, a valve that meets the requirements of API 6FA, API 607, and ISO 10497 fire testing standards. These bi‑directional isolation and control valves offer repeatable zero leakage performance, providing peace of mind for operators while ensuring safe operations and reduced downtime.
Severn’s fire test certification covers the OCT Laminate, Hybrid (OCT‑HS) and Seawater (OCT‑SW) seals, achieving the required leakage rates in accordance with relevant international fire safety standards. By designing, developing, and testing the hybrid polymer metallic fire safe seal, Severn have been able to deliver a graphite‑free firesafe sealing solution that continues to perform even after exposure to extreme fire conditions. The OCT‑SW seal technology, designed for seawater service, prevents graphite contact with line media, eliminating galvanic corrosion risks and extending valve service life.
By meeting stringent fire testing and certification requirements, Severn provide customers with a reliable and proven fire safe butterfly valve solution. With its patented oblique cone technology, Severn has set a new benchmark in triple offset valve design, helping end users achieve their core objective of safe operations, asset protection, and reduced downtime.
Exploring the innovative features and engineering principles of Severn’s OCT TOV Butterfly Valve that puts safety first in safety‑critical valve applications.
At Severn, safety is paramount in the design of our products. With our background in safety‑critical industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical and process plants, Severn understands the importance of safety‑first valve design for both our customers and employees.
As well as adhering to the strictest international valve safety standards, Severn have identified that shaft blowout prevention was paramount to our end users and the wider industrial valve and process industries, for improved valve performance and reduced operational downtime.
Butterfly Valve shafts are designed to connect to the disc with either dowel pins, taper pins, or keyways. The separation of the shaft and disc in service can be catastrophically dangerous in high‑pressure and safety‑critical valve applications. If any of these parts fail, the shaft may be ejected from the valve body. Shaft blowouts can occur when a coupling mechanism fails, therefore, disconnecting the shaft from the disc. With the pressures in the system, it may eject the unrestrained drive shaft through either end of the valve.
Not only is this projectile a huge safety concern but has the potential to compromise the pressure envelope of the valve allowing hazardous process media to escape into the atmosphere.
Severn has designed all their Triple Offset Butterfly Valves as standard with dual anti‑blowout protection, incorporated at both ends of the valve. This negates any chance of the shaft blowing out if the pins were to fail. The reduced shaft diameter at the drive end ensures the shaft cannot blow out through the packing follower, significantly improving operator and plant safety.
On the blank end of the valve, Severn have multiple engineered anti‑blowout features, which prevent shaft blowout. The anti‑blowout ring on the threaded shaft end ensures positive engagement without the need for additional fasteners. The blank end plate is locked in place and is designed to withstand full rated test pressures in severe service conditions.
Dual anti‑blowout devices are standard on the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve, meaning that even if the gland is removed, the secondary internal anti‑blowout device will stop ejection of the shaft under pressure, further enhancing industrial valve safety and reliability.
Severn have designed their Triple Offset Butterfly Valves to exceed the minimum wall thicknesses stated in ASME B16.34 valve design standards. Instead of using only the minimum allowance, Severn have engineered additional material to ensure improved pressure containing integrity and long‑term safety performance in the field.
Within Severn’s Triple Offset OCT TOV Butterfly Valve, there is a corrosion allowance. This means that the valve can afford to concede material to corrosion over time without affecting the pressure‑containing integrity or safety of the valve. The amount of corrosion may vary depending on the environment the valve is operating in, but due to Severn’s engineering heritage and design excellence, the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve has been designed to withstand changes in process conditions and operating environments.
High MAST (Maximum Allowable Shaft Torque) figures and safety factors are key when designing quarter‑turn butterfly valves for severe service. MAST represents the Maximum Allowable Shaft Torque a valve shaft can withstand during operation without mechanical failure. By utilising higher MAST figures, Severn helps maintain the structural integrity and mechanical safety of the valve throughout its service life.
Sizing actuators correctly is a credit to Severn’s engineering‑driven valve design approach. Actuators, gearboxes, or other valve drives must be sized correctly using accurate input and output torque values. By torque testing physical valves prior to final inspection, Severn compares real operating torques against theoretical calculations, ensuring accuracy, consistency and reliable valve automation performance across the range.
Safety has always been at the forefront of Severn’s designs, and this commitment is paramount in the 8500 OCT Triple Offset Butterfly Valve range, delivering confidence, compliance and reliability for safety‑critical applications worldwide.
Unveiling the role of Severn’s OCT TOV Butterfly Valve in cavitation mitigation and valve protection.
Severn understands the needs and demands of critical applications and for over 65 years have been pioneering technology development to solve industry needs and provide extended service life of our products. One of the significant issues we see with severe service application valves is cavitation. This is especially critical in fluid control systems, severe service valve applications, and high‑performance industrial valve environments where reliability is business‑critical.
Cavitation is only evident in fluid applications and the affects are well understood. However, challenges to offer the most cost-effective solution as opposed to the correct solution, can drive users to selecting sub optimal trims for the application. Users are often expected to understand all the implications of every application(s) to ensure the best valves are selected. At Severn, our industry experts use that knowledge to ensure the best technical solution is offered every time. This approach aligns with our expertise in cavitation control engineering, valve performance optimisation, and custom-engineered valve solutions.
Cavitation is a phenomenon that is often seen in valve applications. This can cause dangerous and costly problems to the end user as it only occurs in liquid applications and usually when the flow is being throttled. When cavitation occurs it often creates severe levels of noise and vibration that not only is hazardous to the user but can also cause considerable damage, resulting in costly and unplanned downtime and maintenance. At Severn, we have seen first-hand the effects of cavitation on trims, reducing valve lifetime from years to just weeks, through our ‘Repair Intelligence.’ This highlights the importance of anti‑cavitation valve solutions, valve erosion protection, and predictive maintenance insights for end users.
Cavitation occurs when the fluid in a valve reduces in pressure to a point at which the pressure is below the vapour pressure of the fluid. But what does this mean? If we consider water boiling this is an example of the vapour pressure of a fluid being reached at atmospheric pressure. If we now put the water in a vacuum, then we can make the same fluid boil at a reduced temperature. These pressures and temperatures at which the fluid vapour pressure sits are specific to each fluid type and as such each case must be treated independently. This is a key consideration in process engineering, flow control diagnostics, and energy sector valve performance.
When a fluid passes through an orifice such as a valve or trim, we see the pressure is inversely proportional to the velocity of the fluid. As the velocity increases through the valve the pressure will decrease. These conditions often require engineered flow management, pressure drop analysis, and hydrodynamic performance optimisation.
This can, in some circumstances, cause the pressure to fall below that of the vapour pressure of the fluid.
In this instance bubbles will occur in the fluid. When this happens the volume of the fluid can increase but the space inside the valve does not. This leads to the potential of increased velocity through the valve. Should there be entrained solids (such as sand) within the valve then this can have a significant erosion effect on the valve and be a cause for premature wear. This is a common challenge in abrasive service valves, erosion‑resistant valve design, and harsh‑duty industrial applications.
After the fluid has passed through the restriction it recovers in pressure on the other side of the orifice. This recovery in pressure and associated reduction in velocity can cause the fluid to recover above the vapour pressure of the fluid.
This causes the bubbles previously formed to rapidly collapse producing a shockwave. The forces involved in this are extremely violent. So much so the implosions can tear metal from components creating the characteristic pitting seen with cavitation failure. Such failures often require high‑durability trim solutions, advanced metallurgy valves, and severe service butterfly valve upgrades.
Aside from the physical damage to the valve internals, cavitation can manifest itself as loud noises, often described as “marbles in the pipeline.” These soundwaves create significant vibrations in the valves, pipework, and instrumentation, leading to failures of equipment outside of the valves flow paths due to high vibration and fatigue. These secondary effects reinforce the need for low‑noise valve trims, vibration‑resistant valve engineering, and pipeline asset protection strategies.
How does Severn’s OCT TOV Butterfly Valve mitigate the effects of cavitation?
By controlling the pressure drop through the valve we can prevent the onset of harmful cavitation. In a Butterfly Valve this often occurs at low openings. At these low openings we often see high velocities between the disc and valve body. Severns patented Oblique Cone Technology (OCT) allows the use of a fully circular disc and with the benefit of a true circle comes the advantage that full anti-cavitation / low noise trims can be fitted where required providing excellent cavitation control whilst still providing reliable shutoff. This makes the OCT TOV an industry leader in anti‑cavitation butterfly valves, severe‑service control valves, and next‑generation flow control technology.
In combination with the anti-cavitation disc, the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve can also be fitted with a full or half baffle as required to offer the best solution dependent on the process conditions provided. These options support custom valve configurations, application‑specific valve engineering, and performance‑driven valve selection.
At Severn, it is critical that the application knowledge is applied to the valve sizing to ensure the best possible solutions for the end user, ensuring costly unplanned downtime is kept to a minimum whilst achieving safe operations. This commitment ensures optimal valve lifecycle performance, asset integrity enhancement, and industrial reliability improvement.
Severn’s engineering heritage and excellence in valve manufacturing has led to the innovative design of a product that can master both Control & Isolation applications within critical flow control systems.
Utilising Severn’s long history with Control Valve design, our team of valve engineering experts have been able to manufacture a Triple Offset Butterfly Valve that can be used to provide superior flow control performance in both throttling and modulating service, whilst additionally providing a repeatable, bubble‑tight seal for isolation valve duties.
By designing a Control Valve that can isolate, rather than an isolation valve that attempts to control (which may initially sound similar but is fundamentally different in performance outcome), Severn has developed a high‑performance butterfly valve that maximises Cv through streamlined internal geometry. This delivers optimal flow characteristics, improved process controllability, and stable valve performance under variable operating conditions.
This distinction is critical for industries requiring precise process control, reliable shut‑off, and long‑term operational safety, particularly within oil & gas, energy, offshore, chemical processing, and industrial fluid handling systems.
Designing for Reliability, Safety, and Performance
Severn has eliminated the need for disc fasteners or bolted‑on seals, allowing further optimisation of the disc profile. By removing fasteners from the disc:
- Flow efficiency is improved
- Pressure drop is reduced
Risk of loose components entering the pipeline due to vibration is eliminated
This approach significantly enhances operational reliability, particularly in high‑vibration and severe service environments.
By adopting a body‑mounted sealing arrangement, Severn has increased both the longevity and reliability of the valve. Removing the seal from the direct flow path of the process media reduces wear, enabling Severn to:
- Increase effective bore size
- Maximise Cv
- Extend service life in demanding applications
Patented Oblique Cone Technology (OCT)
Using Severn’s Patented Oblique Cone Technology (OCT), the valve utilises circular sealing geometry that ensures an even seal load distribution around the circumference of the disc.
This technology provides:
- Repeatable bubble‑tight shut‑off
- Improved operational safety
- Enhanced process reliability
- Reduced downtime and maintenance intervention
Ensuring customers consistently meet their core remit of safe operations and minimum downtime.
Advanced Trims for Severe Service Conditions
The OCT geometry enables Severn to offer an extensive range of control valve trims not traditionally associated with Triple Offset Butterfly Valves.
- By utilising a one‑piece disc design, Severn can incorporate:
- Anti‑cavitation trims
- Noise‑reduction solutions
- Flow conditioning elements
- Baffle plates for severe service control
This allows the valve to operate effectively in high‑pressure drop, high‑velocity, and erosive flow conditions, where a conventional butterfly valve would typically suffer reduced service life or performance limitations.
Reduced Inventory, Lower Costs, Greater Efficiency
- The OCT Triple Offset Butterfly Valve can be utilised for both control and isolation valve applications, enabling end users to:
- Reduce valve stock inventory
- Standardise spare parts
- Lower overall operating costs
- Simplify maintenance strategies
Standardised and interchangeable components further reduce spares holding requirements, delivering measurable lifecycle cost savings.
It also provides end users with the option to utilise a single valve to perform both control and isolation functions within a system, rather than two separate valves. This results in:
- Reduced CAPEX and OPEX
- Lower system weight
- Simplified piping design
These benefits are particularly critical for weight‑sensitive applications such as offshore installations, FPSOs, and platform‑based processing facilities.
Discover how Severn’s high‑performance control and isolation valve solutions can enhance your operation.
Explore Severn’s design that has been inspired by engineering heritage and excellence to create a product that Mastering Isolation Control Applications.
From the outset, Severn wanted the Oblique Cone Technology (OCT) to be unique in the Triple Offset Butterfly valve market. Severn wanted to develop a product that not only solves an extensive range of issues for the customer with our “standard” product range, but to break tradition, and to design and manufacture a technically superior Butterfly Valve Mastering Isolation Control Applications.
By utilising their comprehensive history with specialist butterfly valve design and manufacture, Severn have been able to develop a Triple Offset Butterfly Valve that performs both control and isolation duty in a single package. A valve designed from the outset to be re-used, upgraded, and provide an increased level of safety to the end user.
Severn Valves have utilised its years of experience in manufacturing both the concentric and double offset Butterfly Valves to create innovative technology that pushes the boundaries of Triple Offset Butterfly Valve design Mastering Isolation Control Applications. By looking at the traditional elliptical sealing concepts of Severn’s Triple offset valves and combining this with circular sealing principals, Severn created its patented Oblique Cone Technology (OCT). In its most simplistic form, the geometry can be compared to a circular cone, by moving the point of the cone along one axis, this creates two different angles to the cone sides (forming an oblique cone); by taking a slice of this cone, it forms the sealing geometry of the OCT valve.
The benefit of this method means we maintain the principals of circular seals, thus providing an even seat load all-round the disc, therefore providing increased flexibility within the design to allow Severn to add different sealing options to the valve as well as specialist control trims such as anti-cavitation / low noise trims.
By understanding the foundational principals of Butterfly Valve design, Severn have a detailed knowledge of the interaction between each and every Butterfly Valve component. This combined with Severn’s Repair Intelligence philosophy and over 65 years of engineering excellence, customer solutions and end user feedback, problems can be anticipated and resolved before they occur and therefore increasing the lifecycle of the product and reducing costly unplanned downtime.
Severn additionally want to break the cycle of Butterfly Valves being a “throw away’’ commodity items. Severn’s OCT TOV Butterfly Valve is designed to be re-used, repaired, or upgraded on site with only basic tools. The robustness of the design means that the main components can be cleaned, soft goods replaced, and the valve can be reinstalled to provide extended years of reliable service. This not only reduces long term cost of ownership for the end user, but also reduces the environmental impact of the plant operations. Severn also installs Fugitive Emission certified packing as standard in the OCT to further reduce the plant emission.
Flexibility and reliability come as standard in the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve. By using the principals of a Control Valve, Severn have streamlined and reduced the disc thickness to impede the flow as little as possible and maximise valve Cv. Fasteners have been removed from the disc, to eliminate the risk of them coming loose due to vibration and falling into the pipeline. The seal has also been mounted in the body rather than on the disc. This not only protects the seal by removing it from the direct flow path, but means the disc is thinner as well as giving Severn the option to add anti cavitation / low noise trims onto the disc when process conditions dictate mastering isolation and control application.
The OCT principle has been installed and operating in the field for over 10 years without issues, this coupled with countless amounts of testing and validation including fire testing, pressure testing, temperature testing and cycle testing, provide the end user with confidence in the robustness and reliability of the OCT Triple Offset Butterfly valve range and ultimately minimise down time and plant costs.
With over 60 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of high‑performance butterfly valves, Severn launches a range built on decades of learnings and innovative engineering for the process, oil & gas, energy, and power generation industries.

Unveiling the Oblique Cone Technology (OCT)
At the heart of Severn’s latest engineering triumph lies the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve, a revolutionary advancement in triple offset butterfly valve design and performance. Unlike traditional butterfly valves, which often suffer from limitations in sealing integrity, repeatability, and durability, the OCT TOV Butterfly Valve introduces circular sealing geometry.
Unlike traditional triple offset designs that use an ellipse, the benefit of circular geometry is that it provides a uniform sealing load around the circumference of the sealing diameter, delivering a reliable, repeatable bubble‑tight shut‑off.
By using circles rather than ellipses, Severn is able to apply proven circular sealing principles and incorporate these into the TOV, delivering a high‑performance isolation valve suitable for severe service conditions and critical process applications.
