Butterfly valves are used for controlling or regulating the flow through pipes in wide variety of applicationssuch as in fire protection, HVAC, Plumbing services, marine, oil and gas field etc. This paper describes about designinga grooved type 6-inch offset disc butterfly valve which can withstand 300psi pressure and adhere to UL and FMguidelines. Initially benchmarking process was carried out to analyze the performance of the competitor’s valve. Reverseengineering of benchmarked valve was carried out using 3D software Creo2.0 for future modeling and analysispurposes. Keeping the benchmarked valve as reference different product concepts was generated on valve features andsealing. Among these concepts the best concept was developed by using concept scoring technique. The best concept wasthen evaluated by carrying out FEA and CFD analysis to analyze the UL and FM pressure rating guidelines. Based onthe developed concept of valve, 2D draft drawings are generated using Creo 2.0.
