ABSTRACT:
A seal mechanism for butterfly valve of concentric opening with press contacting seal, which comprises a ring-formed seal metal arranged surrounding the valve body under insertion in a radially displaceable manner in a circumferential groove formed around the circumference of the valve body, said seal metal having a rounded outer peripheral face; a seal metal disposed surrounding the inner wall of the valve casing and formed integrally therewith, with its seat face inclining relative to the conduit direction of the valve casing; and two tubular buffer rings inserted in said groove of the valve body in between the bottom of the groove and the inner circumference of the seat metal, each of said tubular buffer rings being split along its entire looping length on the upper or lower side of the ring so as to leave a C-shaped cross section to thereby provide a resilient support for said seal metal on said groove bottom at the neutral position on the seat face between the thrust force components in the inflow and the outflow directions of the valve.
