Butterfly valves are versatile components widely used in hydraulic systems as shutoff and throttling valves.Butterfly valve components must be able to withstand the forces and torques that are generated with use. These arecommonly used as control valves in applications where the pressure drops required of the valves are relatively low.Butterfly valves can be used in applications as either shutoff valves or as throttling valves. As shutoff valves, butterflyvalves offer excellent performance within the range of their pressure rating. Typical uses would include isolation ofequipment, fill/drain systems, bypass systems and other like applications where the only criteria for control of theflow/pressure is that it be on or off. Although butterfly valves have only a limited ability to control pressure or flow, theyhave been widely used as control valves because of the economics involved. Butterfly valves allow high flows withrelatively low pressure loss from the valves, and are typically used for flow control for valve openings from 30 to 70degrees of full open. The objective of the work is to design and optimize torque of triple offset butterfly valve. It includesa plan to perform design calculation, modelling, and stress analysis on components worked out with the Finite elementsoftware. Additionally, experimental testing of valve with the help of suitable testing set up for validation of result
