The tri-eccentric butterfly valve is widely utilized in the petrochemical, nuclear, and metallurgy industries due to its robust sealing performance and great pressure resistance. When the local static pressure is lower than the saturation vapor pressure, the fluid phase is transformed into vapor, an...
