ANATOMY OF A SUPERIOR BALL VALVE
• 100% factory-tested Stainless Steel
and Carbon Steel valves conform
to ASME/ANSI B16.34. Bronze
valves conform to MSS SP-72.
• The Adjust-O-Seal® design
incorporates an engineered space
between the valve body and
end-fitting. This unique feature
allows the valve seat to be restored
to a leak-tight condition without
removing from the processing line.
This adjustment can be repeated
several times to compensate for
normal wear.

• All valves are full port.

• Encapsulated seats facilitate
performance in high velocity
applications and contain seats in
high temperature applications.
• Spring-loaded washers create a
live-loaded stem assembly for
positive sealing. Bottom-entry
stem provides protection from
inadvertent stem removal.
Engagement between the stem
and ball is specially designed for
high torque applications.
• O-Ring body seal provides a leak-
tight seal in applications having
wide temperature variations.
• Optional body cavity fillers
minimize areas where media could
become trapped and contaminate
the process.
• Stem assembly accommodates
PBM Direct Mount Actuation for
improved alignment and increased
cycling life.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY OPTIONS
PBM offers a comprehensive ball valve line for
optimum performance in controlling and
automating process lines. Selecting the ideal
valve for a process starts with a choice of 18
different metals and alloys for basic valve
construction plus a wide variety of trim and soft
part materials. Twenty-three different end
fittings are readily available for easy installation
without additional unions.
PURGE PORTS
Special options include angle stem, fire test, Purge ports provide Clean-In-Place/

FIRE-SAFE OPTION
Tested to API 607 Rev. 4

V-BALL
PBM’s V-Ball control valve accurately controls
the flow of liquids or thick media in industrial
and sanitary throttling.

DIRECT MOUNT ACTUATION

Direct Mount Actuation uses the valve stem as
an integral part of the actuator drive. This
design improves cycling life and performance,
reduces the total actuator and valve package
SELF-FLUSHING BALL profile, and eliminates the need for mounting
adapters and extensions.
The T-port at the bottom of the ball and the
smaller holes at the top of the ball provide
optimum access and flow to the open area in
the body cavity and facilitate cleaning.

 METAL MATERIALS
Process media composition, temperature and application will dictate appropriate metal and soft parts materials. Common
valve metals and their general characteristics are listed below. Consult PBM for additional information.

316 Stainless Steel (Austenitic Grade), A351-GR-CF8M

This metal is exceptionally corrosion-resistant to acidic and basic environments and is the leading material for sanitary and biotechnological processes.
Carbon Steel, A216-WCB
This versatile material efficiently handles mildly-corrosive media.
Bronze, Alloy No. 836, B62
This metal is the ideal choice for all general purpose (mildly corrosive) applications. It is versatile and well-suited for steam, air, fresh water, sea water, oil
and gas lines. Although Bronze material is not specified in ANSI B16.34, it is specified in MSS SP-72.
Other
PBM also supplies ASME/ANSI valves fabricated from other metals, including 316L Stainless Steel, Alloy 20, Hastelloy, Ni-Cu 400, and Inconel 600. Contact
PBM for information on the corrosion resistance of these and other metals and alloys. PBM also manufactures valves fabricated from other copper-based alloys.

Recommended for temperatures up to 550°F (287°C) or for long wear
PEEK Polyetheretherketone Putty applications. Includes special 17-4 PH Stainless Steel stem to accommodate
higher stem torque experienced at higher temperatures. Valves cannot be

NOTES:
1. PTFE is Polytetrafluoroethylene.
2. With the exception of PEEK, all seating materials meet the Class VI seat leakage criterion of ANSI/FCI 70-2 and the zero leakage criterion of MSS SP-61.
For PEEK seats, the Class V liquid criterion of ANSI/FCI 70-2 is imposed (0.0005 ml minimum leakage per psi per inch of valve size).
3. Seat and seal materials may be mixed in a valve in order to provide media-compatibility and the appropriate torque, temperature and pressure ratings.

PBM TEST INFORMATION
Vacuum Testing Cycle Testing
PBM valves are ideally suited for vacuum service. For The life of a ball valve is dependent upon service conditions, and
valves intended for vacuum service, PBM offers optional therefore, impossible to predict. However, PBM cycle-tests
helium leakage test of the seats and shell. This test valves using 100 psid of ambient temperature water pressure
consists of an inboard vacuum test where the exterior of across the seats with the valve in the closed position. These test
the valve is flooded with helium and, through valve, conditions represent a typical wear-causing force on the seats
and packings. PBM also tests valves in a steam environment up

the valve are helium leakage tested. PBM valves will
meet a leakage rate of 1 x 10-6 std. cc/sec. helium Replacement of valve gaskets or O-rings is recommended at each
leakage for both tests. disassembly. Replacement of other non-moving parts is dictated
by the corrosion caused by the flow media. In most applications,
PBM ball valves will operate trouble-free for many years.

 VALVE TORQUE
The figures below are presented as a guide to estimating the forces needed to operate a given sized valve assuming new condition,
ambient temperature, with a neutral lubricating fluid in the body (such as air or water), and RTFE seats and seals. When using other
seat and packing materials, the stem torque should be proportioned according to the as-built torque of that specific material.
If the process involves abrasive or viscous material, the use of elevated temperatures or if the seat or ball of the valve is worn, then
an additional margin should be added. When actuating a valve not factory-actuated by PBM, margin must be added appropriate to
the actuator size and service conditions.
