A brief introduction to V-port ball valves
V-port sanitary ball valves are also known as V-port sanitary shut-off valves and V-port regulating ball valves. This type of ball valve is both a fixed ball valve and a single-seat sealed ball valve. Its regulating performance is the best among all ball valves. Its V-port and metal seat have cutting effects, which are very suitable for mediums containing fiber, tiny solid particles, and slurries. It’s the most popular ball valve nowadays.
V-port ball valve is a kind of ball valve. Its closing member is a V-port opening on a hemisphere. V-port opening has a sharp edge. When the sphere rotates, there’s a wiping effect between closing members, which has a big cutting force on media.
The V-port opening of the sphere and the channel of the valve seat form a fan-shaped area, which can change the cross-sectional area of the flow channel during rotation, resulting in the precise regulation of the media.
It’s a kind of sanitary regulating valve with angular rotation. Its sealing performance is about the same as that of ordinary ball valves, making it have to regulate as well as opening and closing functions. Coupled with pneumatic or electric actuators, it’s widely used in self-control systems of industrial processes.
The materials used: stainless steel, cast steel, carbon steel, special duplex steel, WCB, A105, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, etc.
