Our flanged ball valve is used to control fluids, and the area where they pass through to cut, distribute and change the direction of flow in the network. It has the same internal diameter as the pipe (full bore), low pressure drop and high performance. It is characterized by a long service life and provides reliable tightness throughout it, even when the valve is not used for a long time.
The valve is made of cast iron and is opened by turning a quarter turn (90º) of the shaft attached to a ball with a hole that floats as it rests on the two PTFE (Teflon®) seats of the valve, in such a way that It allows the passage of fluid when the ball hole is aligned with the inlet and outlet of the two valve bodies. When the valve is closed, the orifice will be perpendicular to the inlet and outlet. The position of the actuation handle indicates the status of the valve (open or closed).
The standard construction is based on ISO 5211 and with a handle. We offer options for all steps with motorized actuators (single-phase electric and double or single-acting pneumatic) attached to the valve using adapters. These actuators are a reliable method of controlling the valve from a remote location. Actuators can be mounted on the valve for fail-open (the valve is always open if the actuator fails), or fail-close (the valve is always closed if the actuator fails).
It is primarily used to control the on/off flow of fluids.
It can be disassembled for cleaning, maintenance and inspection. To separate the two parts of the valve, it must be completely disassembled from the pipe.
