The Unique Family of "V" Ball Control Valves
Options Available: Sizes: 1/2" to 4" V-Type modulating control valve High precision controls & stability Exchangeable V-Elements 30°,60°, or linear slots as required Tight Shut-off, up to 1000 psi Compact size, with high volume capability for best efficiency!! Image features: A 30° V-slot in a stainless steel full port ball valve, 3-piece design, threaded ends, with mounting pad for the actuator. Spring return actuator and electro/pneumatic postioner PVC Ball valve with V-Ball features for applications where PVC material is required for the process (corrosion resistance, etc)
V-Seat & V-Slotted Characterized Seat Control Valves
We have a complete line of V-seat and slotted seat control valves providing precision throttling control for a wide range of applications. As with our standard ball valves, V-characterized seated valves offer equal percentage flow characteristics. The slotted seated valves have an inherent linear flow characteristic. Simplicity - Very low maintenance costs compared to globe and segmented ball valves Tight Shutoff - Exceeding Class VI and bubble-tight High Rangeability - Repeatable control through 95% travel Low Cost - Purchase price is substantially lower than competitive high pressure drop valve Low weight - about 30% lighter than globe control valve Compact Size - Leaves more room for additional field equipment Shearing Action - Non-clogging control of fibers and solids Low Flow Control - Cv as low as 0.07 Flexible CV -Interchangeable seat angles or slots Erosion Resistant - Extra tough, hardened seat and ball High Pressure Drop - Liquids up to 500 psi, steam up to 150 psi High Temperature - Up to 1,000°F Maximum Flow Rates (CV) For 1" Valves Full Port Reduced Port 60° V 30° V Slot 57 32 14.8 5.5 3.7 A typical comparison for a 1" valve The CV graph shows the range of flow for the standard port, 60°V and 30°V ball valves. The characterized V seats provide finer control than round port valves.
Modern Test Facilities Measuring V-Port Valves & Flow
This newly designed & built test bench, enables us to test and evaluate "V-Port" valves and flow measuring instruments.
