Ball valve

Swagelok ® Ball and Quarter-Turn Plug Valves Ball valves can be used in a variety of applications ranging from general purpose to alternative fuel service to control system flow. Available as on-off, switching, or crossover, Swagelok ball valves can be manufactured or configured to a wide range of specifications. Plug valves deliver full flow and positive shutoff in a simple, compact design where space is a concern. • • • • Ball and Quarter-Turn Plug Valves Ball and Plug Valves Ball Valves Swagelok ball valves keep system fluid where it belongs, control fugitive emissions and leakage, can be used in a wide range of applications, from general purpose to critical-service applications, and are offered in high flow and quick-quarter turn manual or pneumatic actuation. They have been engineered for repeatable, leak-tight shutoff, have low overall cost of ownership, and can be manufactured or configured to a wide range of specifications. Offerings include full-flow, one-piece instrumentation, three-piece process, trunnion-style, and multipurpose (for alternative fuel service or general service) ball valves. Quarter-Turn Instrument Plug Valves Plug valves are an economical, reliable alternative to ball valves with dependable low-torque, quarter-turn operation. The simple, compact design delivers full flow and positive shutoff and is available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and lightweight PFA.

Swagelok ® Full-Flow Ball Valves (GB Series) The bidirectional flow-capable Swagelok GB series full-flow ball valve is engineered to provide high flow rates at working pressure of 6000 psi (413 bar) in a variety of alloy materials, while simplifying installation, minimizing rework requirements, and delivering reliable shutoff performance. • • • • • Full-Flow Ball Valves, GB Series Improve Safety. Save Time. Manage Costs. The Swagelok GB series ball valve provides value by reducing the time and cost required to install and verify the performance of components installed in high-flow industrial applications. The valve is designed for quick, easy setup with bidirectional flow, eliminating concerns about backward installations. Integral Swagelok ® tube fitting end connections that range in size from 3/8 to 1 in. further simplify system design and minimize labor and component requirements. The potential for leaks or costly rework after initial installation is reduced through 100% assembly testing that ensures GB series ball valves meet specifications out of the box. Body seal performance is validated through hydrostatic system proof testing up to 1.5 times the maximum rated pressure. The valve is built to allow simple customization, featuring a bolt pattern that can be used as an installation point for an optional lockout handle or panel mount, as well as a bracket compatible with an ISO 5211 pneumatic actuator. Having the ability to configure GB series ball valves as needed out...

• body • seat • floating ball • lever handle • stem . A ball valve is a Ball valves are durable, performing well after many cycles, and reliable, closing securely even after long periods of disuse. These qualities make them an excellent choice for shutoff and control applications, where they are often preferred to The ball valve's ease of operation, repair, and versatility lend it to extensive industrial use, supporting In the case that a ball valve is used for cryogenics or product that may expand inside of the ball, there is a vent drilled into the upstream side of the valve. This is referred to as a vented ball. A ball valve should not be confused with a "ball-check valve", a type of Other types of quarter-turn valves include the Types [ ] There are five general body styles of ball valves: single body, three-piece body, split body, top entry, and welded. The difference is based on how the pieces of the valve—especially the casing that contains the ball itself—are manufactured and assembled. The valve operation is the same in each case. The one-piece bodies provide a very rigid construction, in some versions the ball is removable from the valve without taking the entire valve out of the line however multi-piece bodies offer greater scope for ingenuity of design. In addition, there are different styles related to the Ball valves in sizes up to 2inches generally come in a single piece, two or three-piece designs. One-piece ball valves are almost always reduced bore, are re...

When it comes to ball valves, we know your most important consideration is reliability. The longer a valve performs as designed and without problems, the better. That’s why your choice should be Jamesbury ball valves. By focusing on the all-important areas of seat design, polymer material research and sealing technologies – we were able to engineer and deliver next generation ball valve performance. Solutions that offer you vastly improved stem sealing and cycle life. In fact, depending on the application, the cycle life of these new valves can be as much as 100 times greater than the cycle life of competitive products.
