V type ball valve is a specialized control valve designed with a v-shaped seal or v-shaped ball, which provides enhanced fluid control capabilities. This unique design allows for precise regulation of flow, making it a preferred choice in applications requiring accurate flow control. The molded v-bore, available in angles of 15⁰, 30⁰, 45⁰, 60⁰, or 90⁰, differentiates v-port ball valves from other types of ball valves.
V-port ball valves are favored for their ability to produce linear flow characteristics, where fluid flow increases linearly with the rotation of the valve shaft. This contrasts with standard port ball valves, offering more predictable and stable flow control. The robust construction of v-ball control valves ensures they can withstand the high velocity of fluids passing through them, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
The v-port ball valve operates using a ball with a v-shaped bore. This valve can be manually operated with a handle or automatically with an actuator. When the handle is rotated, the ball simultaneously rotates, and the valve opens or closes accordingly. In the open position, the small end of the v-bore opens first, facilitating stable flow control. A quarter turn of the handle aligns the bore with the pipes, allowing for smooth and precise operation.
