Ball Valve - Gas Applications
Product Description: Ball valves for natural gas applications are specialized valves designed to control the flow of natural gas in various industrial, commercial, and residential settings.
Full Bore or Reduced Bore: Ball valves for natural gas applications can be full bore or reduced bore. Full bore valves have a ball with a bore diameter equal to the pipeline diameter, allowing maximum flow capacity. Reduced bore valves have a smaller ball bore diameter than the pipeline diameter, which reduces the flow capacity but can lower the cost of the valve.
Floating or Trunnion Design: Ball valves for natural gas applications can have a floating or trunnion design. In floating ball valves, the ball is held in place by the pressure of the fluid. In trunnion-mounted ball valves, the ball is supported by trunnions or stems at the top and bottom, providing additional stability and enabling the valve to handle higher pressure and larger pipe sizes.
Fields of Application: Ball valves for natural gas applications are used in various industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and utilities. They are employed in natural gas pipelines, distribution networks, storage facilities, processing plants, and residential or commercial gas supply systems. The selection of the appropriate ball valve depends on factors such as pressure rating, pipe size, temperature range, material compatibility, and specific application requirements.
Pressure Class: PN10-PN16-PN25-PN40.
Working Temp. Max: 180°C.
Body: At AccessX the body of this type of valve is available in Ductile Iron (GGG40.3-EN JS1049), Cast Steel (GP 240 GH/GS-C25), etc.
Operation: Ball valves can be manually operated or equipped with various actuation mechanisms for remote or automated control. Actuation options include lever handles, gear operators, pneumatic actuators, electric actuators, or hydraulic actuators. Actuation allows for easier operation and control of the valve, especially in large-scale natural gas systems.
