Key Features

Key features and benefits of V-Tork Actuated Carbon Steel PN40 Ball Valves.
1

Key Features

The valve operates using a quarter-turn mechanism where a spherical ball with a bore is rotated within the valve body to either allow or block the flow of the medium. The full-bore design minimises pressure drop across the valve.
2

Key Features

These valves are equipped with V-Tork actuators, which can be pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic. The actuators provide automated control, allowing for remote operation and integration into complex control systems.
3

Key Features

The valves are designed with high-performance seals, typically made from PTFE (Teflon) or other advanced polymers, ensuring leak-proof operation even under high-pressure conditions.

Key Features

Constructed from carbon steel, these valves are known for their robustness and ability to withstand high pressures, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.

The valves are equipped with flanged end connections, which ensure secure and leak-free attachment to piping systems, and facilitate easy installation and maintenance.

The ball valve design provides a tight seal when closed, ensuring reliable shut-off and minimising the risk of leakage, even in high-pressure applications.

These valves can handle a broad range of pressures, often up to 150 psi or higher, depending on the ANSI class rating (such as ANSI 150, ANSI 300, etc.), making them versatile for various applications.

Carbon steel valves are typically treated with coatings or linings to enhance their resistance to corrosion, ensuring a longer service life, particularly in environments where the valve is exposed to moisture or chemicals.

These valves can operate effectively over a wide temperature range, making them suitable for both high-temperature and low-temperature applications.

Carbon steel flanged ball valves are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and power generation, thanks to their adaptability to different fluids and pressures.

The quarter-turn operation of ball valves allows for quick opening and closing, which is beneficial in situations where fast response times are critical.

The straight-through flow design of ball valves minimises pressure drop across the valve, enhancing efficiency in fluid handling systems.

These valves are designed to comply with various industry standards, such as ANSI, API, and ISO, ensuring that they meet stringent safety, quality, and performance criteria.

Due to their simple design and durable construction, carbon steel flanged ball valves require minimal maintenance, which reduces operational downtime and maintenance costs over the valve's lifespan.

Many carbon steel flanged ball valves are designed with fire-safe features, which ensure that the valve can maintain its integrity and prevent leaks even in the event of a fire, providing an added level of safety in critical applications.

Our products meet the latest international standards, including ISO 5211, DIN 3337, and VDI/VDE 3845, among others. They are also fully compliant with the NUMAR standard. This ensures easy interchangeability and convenience when replacing or mounting accessories like solenoid valves and limit switches.

The rack and pinion tooth is engineered with a superior tooth profile ratio for minimal clearance, ensuring precise driving and enhanced output power. This high-precision design delivers reliable performance and efficient power transmission.

Utilise a rack and pinion system with double pistons to benefit from a compact design, extended operational life, and rapid functionality. The tooth surface of the piston, processed via a CNC machining centre, ensures enhanced gear efficiency and precise transmission. This leads to stable and dependable performance. Additionally, altering the rotation direction is straightforward—simply reverse the pistons, thanks to the design’s symmetrical mounting capability.

The body of the extruded aluminium is treated to resist corrosion both inside and out. A finely ground cylinder surface results in a low coefficient of friction and extends the product's cycle life significantly.

Integrate and streamline your design with our compact actuator models, which use the same body and end caps for both double-acting and spring-return mechanisms. This uniformity minimises spare parts inventory, enhancing convenience for customer applications in the field. You can easily modify these actuators by adding or removing spring cartridges, making them highly adaptable and user-friendly.

Preload spring cartridges featuring a specialised coating are suitable for numerous applications, offering enhanced security and resistance to corrosion. These modular units are designed to function effectively in various environments, ensuring reliability and long-lasting performance.

Dual independent travel stoppers allow for precise and convenient external adjustments of ±5° in two directions. This enables actuators to align with the valve during both the opening and closing phases of the stroke.

The specialised sealing ring positioned between the body and cylinder prevents initial failure due to the suction of the rubber plug. This feature enhances safety, ensures a leak-proof seal, and extends the product's lifespan.

High-quality bearings feature reliable seals, low friction, extended service life, and a broad application temperature range.

Composite bearings and guides in both the pinion and piston guarantee precise functionality, minimal friction, and extended durability. This design effectively safeguards the output shaft against fractures.
