What is pneumatic ball valve?

All that you need to know about Pneumatic Actuated Ball valve

Let's dig into a detailed analysis of the Pneumatic actuated Ball valve.

Pneumatic actuated ball valve characteristics and performance

Well, the major working principle is making the valve blocked or unlolocked by rotating or spinning the core of the valve. The Pneumatic actuated ball valve switch is small in size and light and it can be convelted into a larger diameter, simple structure, reliable sealing, convenient maintenance.The stainless steel material of the ball valve resists corrosion,and are widely used in various industries.

What are the major characteristics of a pneumatic ball valve?

Following is the list of characteristics of pneumatic ball valve that are often shown by manufacturers:

• Simple, easy and smooth structure which is super lightweight. 

 

• Small in size.

 

•  The resistance of fluid in it is small & the resistance coefficient equals its piper section as well.

 

• Super easy to use and operate. Can be quickly opened or closed, aall you need to do is open it at a 90 degree to fully open it or fully close it, thereby making it convenient for any long-distance control.

 

• It has a vast range of applications in a variety of industries. The disameter of the valve ranges different sizes, from small to large. Starting from millimetres to several meters, the range is pretty wide. Also, it can be easily applied from a high vacuum to high pressure.

 

• The maintenance of the valve is super convenient as it has a supe simple structure. Its sealing ring can be moved & the device is super convenient to replace or disassemble.

• It is tight & reliable. Currently, in most industries the material of seealing surface of the valve is made up mostly of plastic, therefore the sealing performance is pretty good. It is also vastly used in several vacuum systems.

 

• When the valve is fully opened or closed the valve seat & its sealing surfaces both are isolated from the medium. Also, the surface of the valve won't be eroded while the medium is passing through.

 

• As mentioned earlier, the pneumatic actuated ball valves can easily be converted into larger diameters, which is not quite the case for turbine & manual rotating ball valves. The diameter of these manutal & turbine valves is mostly below DN300 while the pneumatic ball valves can reach up to DN1200. So the difference is pretty noticeable.

 

• Gas is the primary source for pneumatically actuated ball valvets. This ensures that the pressure is safe to be operated. Unlike thehydraulic & electric ones, here if the valve leaks one can dischargge the gas immediately thereby there is no chance of polluting the environment around & is highly safe.
