Reduced Bore Ball Valve
Product Description: Reduced bore ball valves are a type of ball valve where the bore diameter of the ball is smaller than the pipeline diameter. They are designed to reduce the flow capacity while still providing reliable shut-off capabilities.
Floating or Trunnion Design: Reduced bore ball valves can be either floating or trunnion mounted, similar to full bore ball valves. In a floating ball valve, the ball is free to move and is held in place by the pressure of the fluid or gas. In a trunnion-mounted ball valve, the ball is supported by trunnions or stems at the top and bottom, providing additional stability and allowing the valve to handle higher pressure and larger pipe sizes.
Fields of Application: Reduced bore ball valves are commonly used in applications where a lower flow capacity is acceptable or desired. They find application in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, water treatment, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and process industries. Typical applications include shut-off or control applications where the reduced flow capacity does not impact the system's performance.
Pressure Class: PN10-PN16-PN25-PN40.
Working Temp. Max: -29 / +180°C.
Body: At AccessX the body of this type of valve is available in Cast Iron (GG25-ENJL1040), Ductile Iron (GGG40.3-EN JS1049), Cast Steel (GP 240 GH/GS-C25), A216WCB 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.
