A flanged ball valve is a type of valve that is designed with flanged ends, which allow for easy installation and connection to the pipeline system. It consists of a body with a hollow ball inside it. The ball has a hole or bore through its center.

When the valve is open, the ball is rotated so that the hole aligns with the pipeline, allowing fluid to flow through. When the valve is closed, the ball is turned perpendicular to the pipeline, blocking the flow of fluid. This simple yet effective mechanism allows for quick and precise control of fluid flow.

Flanged ball valves are available in various sizes, pressure ratings, and materials to suit different applications. They are commonly made from materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or cast iron, depending on the specific requirements of the system.

Flanged Ball Valve Specifications:

Flanged Ball Valve Design:

•  Valve body (two-piece or three-piece) – houses the ball and seats to stop flow

•   Ball (stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron or bronze) – spherical with a bored passageway to control flow

•   Stem (stainless steel, carbon steel) – transmits torque to rotate the ball

•   Seat rings (PTFE or metal) – seals between ball and body for tight shutoff

•   Flanges (raised-face or ring-type joint) – align with pipe flanges to bolt valve in line

•   Accessories – actuators/gear operators to automate valve operation

•   Pressure class rating from 150 to 2500 psi meeting design codes

•   End connections like weld end or butt-weld ends

•   Type of manual handle for easy operation

•   Compact yet durable flow chamber sized to pipe internal diameter

Flanged Ball Valve Features:

•   Flanged Ends: These valves are designed with flanged ends, allowing for easy installation and connection to the pipeline system. The flanges provide a secure and leak-free connection.

•   Full Bore Design: Flanged ball valves typically have a full bore design, which means that the bore or opening through the ball is the same size as the pipeline. This ensures minimal pressure drop and allows for maximum flow capacity.

•   Quarter-Turn Operation: Flanged ball valves operate using a quarter-turn mechanism, making it quick and easy to open or close the valve. The ball inside the valve rotates 90 degrees to control the flow of fluid.

•   Bubble-Tight Seal: When closed, flanged ball valves provide a tight seal against leakage. The ball is designed to press against the seat, ensuring a reliable shut-off of the flow.

•   Various Materials: These valves are available in a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and exotic alloys. This allows for compatibility with different types of fluids and operating conditions.

•   Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Flanged ball valves are designed to withstand high-pressure and high-temperature environments. They are available in various pressure ratings, ranging from ANSI class 150 to class 2500, to meet specific application requirements.

•   Versatile Applications: Flanged ball valves are suitable for a wide range of applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, water treatment, power generation, and HVAC systems. They can handle different media such as liquids, gases, and slurries.

•   Easy Maintenance: Flanged ball valves are relatively simple in design, making them easy to maintain and repair. The ball and seats can be easily replaced if needed, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Flanged Ball Valve Advantages:

•   Excellent sealing capability: Flanged ball valves have a strong sealing capability, which ensures that there is no leakage of fluid even at high pressures and temperatures. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, including oil and gas, chemical, and petrochemical industries.

•   Easy installation and maintenance: Flanged ball valves have a simple and compact design, which makes them easy to install and maintain. They can be easily connected to pipelines using flange connections, and their modular design allows for quick and easy replacement of components, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

•   Versatility: Flanged ball valves are available in a wide range of sizes, materials, and pressure ratings, making them suitable for various applications. They can handle different types of fluids, including corrosive and abrasive media, and can operate in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

•   Full bore design: Flanged ball valves feature a full bore design, which means that the ball opening is the same size as the pipeline, allowing for maximum flow capacity. This minimizes pressure drop and energy loss, making them more efficient than other types of valves.

•   Quick and reliable operation: Flanged ball valves can be operated quickly and reliably, allowing for precise control of fluid flow. They have a quarter-turn operation, which means that they can be fully open or fully closed with just a 90-degree rotation of the handle or actuator. This reduces the time and effort required to operate the valve.

•   Fire-safe design: Flanged ball valves can be designed to meet fire-safe requirements, ensuring that they can withstand high temperatures and continue to operate in the event of a fire. This makes them suitable for use in fire protection systems and other applications where fire safety is a concern.
