Eccentric Hemispherical Valve

Eccentric Hemispherical Valve

Structure and Principle

• The valve core is hemispherical, with its rotation center eccentric to the valve body center.

• When open: The hemisphere disengages from the valve seat, resulting in no friction and low torque.

• When closed: The hemisphere presses against the valve seat, forming a line/surface seal.

• Typical structures: Side-mounted/Top-mounted, eccentric shaft, eccentric hemisphere.

Product Description

Key Features

1. Excellent Sealing Performance: Hard seals achieve zero leakage, while soft seals provide even tighter sealing.

2. Wear-Free and Long Service Life: Opening and closing does not scrape the valve seat, making it more wear-resistant than ordinary ball valves.

3. Anti-Stuck and Self-Cleaning: The hemispherical rotation has a scraping effect, preventing mud, dust, and slurry from causing blockages.

4. Low Flow Resistance and Smooth Flow: The near-straight-through flow path reduces pressure drop, making it suitable for high flow rates.

5. Easy On/Off: The eccentric structure significantly reduces operating torque, suitable for both pneumatic and electric operation.

Pneumatic Floating Ball Valve

Pneumatic Floating Ball Valve

Structural Features

• The ball has no lower support shaft; it is held only by the valve seats at both ends, allowing for slight floating under medium pressure.

• The valve stem is top-mounted, connecting to the ball, and is only responsible for rotation, not bearing axial pressure.

• Double-sided sealing: When closed, the ball is pushed towards the outlet valve seat by the medium pressure, forming a self-tightening seal.

• Simple structure: The valve body, ball, valve seat, valve stem, and stuffing box have few components, making maintenance convenient.

Working Principle

• Opening: Rotate the valve stem 90°, aligning the ball's through-hole with the pipeline, allowing smooth media flow.

• Closing: Rotate the valve stem 90° in the opposite direction, aligning the ball's through-hole perpendicular to the flow path; media pressure pushes the ball tightly against the outlet valve seat, with a tighter seal at higher pressures.

Forged Steel Ball Valve

Forged Steel Ball Valve

Key Features

• High-Strength Material: Forging process removes porosity and looseness, resulting in dense grains, high tensile strength, and superior wear resistance compared to cast steel.

• Reliable Sealing: Soft seal (reinforced PTFE/PPL) or hard seal (metal-to-metal), supporting double sealing, fireproof and anti-static.

• Stable Structure: Available in two-piece/three-piece flange connections, fixed ball or floating ball structure, and a split valve body for easy maintenance.

• Highly Efficient Opening and Closing: 90° rotation, low torque, fast opening and closing, suitable for frequent operation.

• Wide Temperature and Pressure Compatibility: Temperature range from -196℃ to 450℃, pressure rating from Class 150 to 1500.

Ceramic Ball Valve

Ceramic Ball Valve

Key Features:

1. Superior Corrosion Resistance: Zirconia/alumina ceramics are resistant to almost all acid, alkali, and salt media, and do not rust or corrode.

2. Ultra-High Wear and Erosion Resistance: The high hardness of the ceramic means it experiences almost no wear under particulate media and slurry erosion, resulting in a lifespan far exceeding that of stainless steel.

3. Stable Sealing and Non-Stuck-Up: The smooth ceramic surface does not scale or adhere, ensuring stable switching torque and preventing jamming.

4. Zero Leakage: Precision ceramic mating seals enable bidirectional sealing.

5. No Media Contamination: The ceramic's high inertness prevents metal ion precipitation, making it suitable for high-purity and clean environments.

Disadvantages: Relatively brittle, not resistant to severe impacts or sudden temperature changes; careful selection and installation are required.

V-Type Ball Valve

V-Type Ball Valve

Structural Features

• V-shaped ball core: The hemispherical valve core has a V-shaped notch, which is the core component for regulation and shearing.

• Valve seat: It mates with the V-shaped notch to form a sealing surface. Soft seals (TFM, etc.) are suitable for clean media, while hard seals (welded or sprayed hard alloy) can be used in high-temperature, high-pressure, highly corrosive, or particulate-containing conditions.

Working Principle

• Regulation Function: As the valve core rotates, the overlap area between the V-shaped notch and the valve seat continuously changes, creating an equal percentage flow characteristic (opening degree and flow rate are logarithmically related), achieving high-precision control within the 30%-70% opening range.

• Shearing and Self-Cleaning: The V-shaped notch edge, in contact with the valve seat, cuts off fibers and small solid particles in the medium, preventing blockage; the relative movement between the valve core and valve seat during rotation scrapes away media residue on the sealing surface, achieving self-cleaning.
