MORE INFO
What is a Segmented Ball Valve?
A Segmented Ball Valve is a specialized variation of the conventional ball valve design, distinguished by a contoured V-notch segment within the ball mechanism. This type of control valve offers superior rangeability, precise control, and reliable shutoff capabilities. The V-notch ball configuration facilitates positive shearing action, resulting in an inherent equal percentage flow characteristic. Notably, it ensures non-clogging operation and accommodates high capacity flow control. Engineers have meticulously contoured the V-notch ball to optimize capacity, prolong seal life, and enhance shutoff integrity, making it a preferred choice for various industrial applications.
How It Works
Common Applications
Commonly employed in various industries, V-notch ball control valve bodies excel in regulating erosive or viscous fluids, as well as paper stock or other slurries laden with entrained solids or fibers. These specialized valve designs find indispensable utility in sectors such as the paper industry, chemical plants, sewage treatment plants, the power industry, and petroleum refineries.
Valve Components
The ingenious design of the two-piece shaft in segmented ball valves facilitates an expanded center flow path, ensuring efficient fluid control. This design comprises a drive shaft linked to one side of the segmented ball and a follower shaft connected to the opposite side. Through rotation of the drive shaft, the ball adjusts its position, unveiling a flow path via the V-notch mechanism. This unique configuration offers a significant advantage by accommodating a wide flow range, characterized by a small flow area during minimal travel and a large flow area at maximum travel.
Segmented ball valves are offered with two distinct body end connections: flangeless and flanged, providing flexibility to suit diverse installation requirements.
Moreover, a comprehensive range of metal and soft ball seal materials is available, enabling customization to meet specific application demands with precision and reliability.
Expanded Outlet Version
The expanded outlet variant of the V-notch ball valve is tailored to accommodate enlarged downstream piping configurations. Distinguished by an outlet flange that is one standard line size diameter larger than the inlet, this specialized design is meticulously crafted to effectively manage medium consistency fiber slurries.
Erosive Slurry Control
The slurry variant of the V-notch ball valve incorporates erosion-resistant trim components meticulously engineered to safeguard the valve body from erosive wear. Crafted from high-chromium iron, the body liner, V-notch ball, and flow ring collectively ensure robust protection against erosive flow conditions. Additionally, for applications requiring even greater resistance to aggressive slurry services, an optional ceramic flow ring insert is available, further enhancing the valve’s durability and performance.
