Pneumatic Ball Valve - Product Overview

The Pneumatic Ball Valve is an industrial-grade flow control solution designed for reliable and efficient on/off or modulating service in a wide range of applications. Engineered for durability and precise operation, it combines a robust ball valve design with a high-performance pneumatic actuator, making it ideal for automated process systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Rapid and Reliable Operation: Enables quick 90-degree turn-on/off operation, ensuring fast process response and minimal downtime. The pneumatic actuation provides consistent torque and high speed.

• Excellent Sealing Performance: Features precision-machined seats and seals (available in PTFE, reinforced PTFE, or other elastomers) to ensure bubble-tight shut-off, minimizing leakage and enhancing system safety.

• Long Service Life & Durability: The valve body is constructed from high-grade materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, or brass. Critical components are designed with wear-resistant materials, significantly extending the product's lifecycle even in demanding conditions.

• Compact & Robust Design: Offers a space-saving design without compromising on strength, making it easy to install in compact spaces.

• Low Maintenance: Simple design with minimal moving parts reduces the need for frequent maintenance, lowering the total cost of ownership.

• Versatile Actuation Options: Can be configured with double-acting or spring-return (single-acting) pneumatic actuators. The spring-return model provides fail-safe functionality to open or close position in the event of air supply loss, which is critical for safety-critical applications.

• Multiple Interface Options: The actuator can be equipped with limit switches, solenoid valves, positioners, and filter regulators for advanced control and monitoring.

Technical Specifications

• Valve Size: Ranges from 1/4" to 12" (DN8 to DN300), depending on model and pressure rating.

• Pressure Rating: ANSI Class 150 to 600, PN16 to PN100.

• Body Materials: Stainless Steel (304, 316), Carbon Steel (WCB), Brass, Duplex Steel.

• Ball Materials: Often SS304 or SS316 with optional coatings like chrome plating for enhanced wear resistance.

• Seat & Seal Materials: Standard PTFE, Reinforced PTFE, VITON, EPDM, NBR, HNBR for different media and temperatures.

• Connection Types: Flanged (ANSI, DIN, JIS), Threaded (NPT, BSPT, BSPP), Wafer, and Socket Weld.

• Operating Pressure: Typically 3 to 8 bar (40 to 115 psi) for the actuator. Customizable for higher pressures.

• Operating Temperature: -20°C to +200°C (-4°F to +392°F), depending on seal material.

• Ambient Temperature: Standard: -20°C to +80°C. High-temperature options available.

• Media: Suitable for water, air, oil, gas, steam, and a wide range of corrosive and non-corrosive chemicals.
