Ball Valve Basics
Ball Valve
A quarter turn (90) valve with a spherical component, ball/sphere
Ball controls the flow through it
Has a hole, or port, through the middle
Valve open - When the hole is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur
Valve closed - When the hole is perpendicular to the ends of the valve, flow is
blocked

Design Basics
Trunnion Mounted
Floating
Ball is fixed on a vertical axis by trunnions
Sealing achieved by spring loaded seats
Suitable for larger sizes and higher
pressures
Ball is free to float in the body cavity
Sealing achieved by ball pressing on
downstream seat
Suitable for sizes smaller sizes and lower
pressures
Design Basics
Full Bore
Reduced Bore
Oversized ball
Hole in the ball is the same size as
pipeline
Provides unrestricted flow
Piggable
Hole in the ball is smaller than
pipeline
More economic than full bore
Not piggable

Ball Valve Features
Features
Anti-blow out stem
Design prevents stem from blowing out
from body in a case of accidental
pressure build up in the body
Available on all valves, floating and
trunnion type
Anti- static device
Spring loaded device inserted in stem
Ensures electrical conductivity between
body and trim
Available on all valves, floating and
trunnion type
Double Block and Bleed - DBB
When valve is in closed position provides a seal against pressure from both ends of the valve
Valve body cavity is able to be bled off to atmosphere
Split body design through a vent port, drain plug
Fully welded design through a blow down valve, monoblock valve
Secondary Emergency Sealing
Secondary sealing is available on:
Seats and stem
Standard feature for 6 ball valves and larger
Smaller than 4 ball valves is an optional feature (where applicable)
Valves are equipped with giant button grease injectors
Only used in cases of seal damage as emergency measure to ensure

Seat Design Floating Valves
Simple design
Soft sealing elements
Material section depending on ball valve pressure rating
Pressure #150 Pure PTFE
Pressure #300-#600 PTFE CG (Carbon Graphite)
Seat Design Trunnion Mounted Valves
Different seat configurations are available to cover different applications
Primary sealing elements: Viton, PTFE Cg, Peek
Secondary sealing: Emergency grease injection sealing
Simple Piston Effect - SPE
Low pressure sealing is achieved by spring loaded seats
High pressure sealing is assisted by pipeline pressure
Seats able to provide internal cavity relief
Double Piston Effect - DPE
Seats are pressure energised in both directions
Bi-directional sealing allows the seat to work either direction
Seats not able to provide internal cavity relief
Seat Design
Primary Metal Secondary Soft Seats - PMSS
Primary sealing is provided by soft sealing element
Secondary sealing is provided by metal to metal contact
Seat with Scrapper
Scrapper under the sealing element provides
Excellent cleaning of ball in applications that the medium tends to
adhere to the ball surface
Provides extra protection to the sealing element
Fire safe Design
Fire resistance ability of a valve when exposed to fire
In case of fire non fire safe materials will melt down
Resulting to medium leakage and potential spread of fire
Fire safe ball valves are certified according to API6FA/API607
Design has to ensure valve integrity for 30 minutes
Design uses metal-to-metal contact and graphite sealing as auxiliary measures
Extra Features
Locking Device
Allows the valve to be locked in open and closed
position
Available on manual operated valves
Available on gearbox operated valves
Limit Switch
Electrical device that gives remote signal indicating the
position of the valve
Usually fitted on the operator
Available on manual operated valves
Available on gearbox operated valves
