V Port Ball Valve

 

Ball valves are designed to be used in a variety of applications and markets, but a V-port ball valve offers the added ability to be used as a control valve where necessary. The main differentiator is a contoured V-port in the ball, most commonly available with a 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, or 90° angle, which produces an equal percentage flow characteristic for better control. V-ball valves are known to offer a variety of advantages in flow control applications, especially when compared to larger and more expensive control valves.

 

Low Pressure Drop

The V-port design allows material to flow straight through the valve, minimizing pressure drop across the valve. V-ball valves also have higher flow coefficients (Cv) compared to other control valve types of a similar size; this means that a smaller V-ball valve can be used to achieve the same flow rates as a comparable control valve of a larger size

 

Bubble Tight Shut-Off

V-port ball valves use the "floating ball principle, which will provide a bubble tight shut-off in addition to the modulating flow control. When the valve is closed, upstream pressure pushes the ball against the downstream seat, thus enhancing the seal. These can control or shut off bi-directional flow, which proves to be especially beneficial in gas applications. Comparable control valves often require additional shut-off valves; V-ball valves eliminate the need for these additional valves, saving the user cost and reducing the number of overall components in the system.

 

Precise Flow Control

Precision machined V-ball valves are available with 60° and 90° V openings and offer equal percentage flow characteristics. As the ball rotates, desired flow rates can be achieved by positioning the ball anywhere between 0° and 90°. Response time is also increased due to the ability to use smaller actuators with these valves.

 

High Shut-Off Pressure

V-ball valves feature a quarter turn (90°) ball rotation, allowing them to operate and shut off at much higher working pressures. Because of this, smaller lower torque actuators can be used, which results in cost savings and higher efficiency in the user's application.

What are V-Port Ball valves?

A V-Port Ball Valve has either a 'v' shaped seat or a 'v' shaped ball. This allows the orifice to be opened and closed in a more controlled manner, with a closer to linear flow characteristic. This type of valve is also known as a control valve because the flow velocities need to be controlled depending on the application.

 

How do V-Port Ball valves work?

When v-port valves are in the closed position, and opening commences, the small end of the 'v' opens first. This allows stable flow control during this stage. The design generally calls for a more robust construction because the higher velocities of fluids might damage standard valves. Although a control valve, v-port valves are not considered as accurate as a globe valve, pressure regulating valve, balancing valve or needle valve.

 

Applications using V Port Ball valves?

Ball valves are used in many applications and markets. These can include transmission and storage, gas processing, and industrial, to name but a few. V-Port Ball valves are also commonly used in water treatment, food processing, acid transfer, agriculture, bleach chemicals, leaching acid, waste processing and pharmaceuticals.
