What is 2 Inch Ball Valve?

ZECO 2 inch ball valve is usually a floating ball valve and is available in brass ball valve, cast steel ball valve and forged steel ball valve.

A 2 inch floating ball valve gets its name from the ball-like sphere that “floats” freely inside the valve’s body, which is compressed between two flexible seats while suspended in liquid. What a floating ball valve normally does during operation is float slightly downstream, which causes the seating mechanism to compress under the ball. Should the seating disintegrate, the ball floats to the metal stem to seal it. This provides a failsafe within the design.

Dimensions & Weight of 3″ Ball Valve

Features of 3inch Ball Valve:

• Stem surface roughness is strictly restricted between Ra0.4 and Ra0.8, which ensures entry of graphite packing powder into tiny stem scratches to function as a lubricator, minimizing leakages around the stem. Max roughness of the stuffing box is RA3.2, which is a proper value to hold the packing ring in place and result in better sealing performance;
• The packing is a combination of parallel and vertical layers which is made of die-formed graphite ring processed by flexible graphite, characterizing heat resistance, less stress relaxation, and low creep. The special structure means low friction on the rotary stem, providing stabilized seal capability for the valve for a long time under frequent functioning;
• The Lip seal is the spring-energized seal, including Elgiloy or Inconel spring and PTFE jacket. it’s effective in a wide breadth of applications, such as highly corrosive chemical media, high sour gas, low temperature, or cryogenic service;
• ZECO strictly controls the quality of bulk products, with 100% inspection.

How do I choose a 3 Inch Ball Valve?

What is 8 Inch Ball Valve?

8 inch ball valves are a form of shut-off valves that will control the flow of either gas or liquid. This can be done by using a rotary ball that has a bore. By turning the ball 90 degrees, the gas or liquid is blocked or allowed to flow through. They are known to provide stable sealing even when they are not used for a period of time. They also feature a longer lifespan. In addition, they have better resistance to contaminants making them a more popular choice among other valves.

ZECO 8 inch ball valve has two choices, you can choose a floating ball valve or trunnion mounted ball valve, and you can choose to cast or forge on the material. Valve casting quality is of prime importance for product life, personnel, and environmental safety, particularly in high temperature and high-pressure services as the valve serves as one of the pressure-containing equipment in a process-controlled pipeline. Thus, castings are always certified firstly by the customers requiring strictly before a valve manufacturer is pre-qualified and approved as a qualified supplier.

What is Ball Valve 8 Inch Used for?

Almost all industrial applications need protection from leaks. This is particularly important to those that require tight shut mechanisms. Such examples are the purely liquid or gaseous applications, including natural gas industries, chemical storage, and those that work with corrosive fluids. Slurries don’t work well for these valves.

Features of 8″ Ball Valve

• ZECO 8 inch ball valve has a cavity pressure relief design. When the force created by cavity pressure is lower than the force created by line pressure, then contact between the ball and seat ring is assured to provide a tight seal; When cavity pressure is higher than seat spring force plus line pressure, the self-relieving action allows the valve seat to move slightly away from the ball surface. Therefore, any overpressure inside the body cavity is discharged into the pipeline to restore the balance between the body cavity and the pipeline (either upstream or downstream side);
• ZECO 8 inch ball valve has an emergency sealant injection fitting design, allowing external interventions to prevent stem leakage. In the maintenance, only through the emergency grease hole can be the valve stem and seat at the sealing structure for emergency maintenance and long-term maintenance, simple and convenient;
• ZECO 8 inch ball valve has blow-out proof stem design, a safety feature that functions to assure stem sealing at all pressure;
• ZECO 8 inch ball valve has a backup metal-to-metal sealing design, when primary resilient-seat material is deteriorated by fire, the metal-to-metal provides shutoff.

What is Ball Valve 4 Inch?

A ball valve 4 inch is a quarter-turn on/off device. A pivoting ball in the center of the valve controls the flow of liquid or gas media.

The pivoting ball is known as a rotary ball, and it is designed with a hole (a bore) in the center. A stem on the top of the ball rotates the ball to open or close the valve. The stem can be turned using manual levers or automation.

ZECO 4 inch ball valve is also the most common batch product, which is mainly floating ball valves. Occasionally, fixed ball valves may be used due to special working conditions. ZECO and the National Pump and Valve Testing Center are long-term strategic partners. ZECO regularly sends samples of products for routine use to the testing center for testing every year to verify that the products have not changed due to any possible changes in the long-term production process.

How does 4 in Ball Valve work?

A 4 in ball valve is a shut-off valve that controls the flow of a liquid or gas by means of a rotary ball having a bore. By rotating the ball a quarter turn (90 degrees) around its axis, the medium can flow through or is blocked.

Features of 4inch Ball Valve

• 1. ZECO 4 inch ball valve is designed with an automatic pressure relief structure. When the change of pressure or temperature in the pipeline causes an abnormal rise of pressure in the valve body, the medium will open the sealing ring by the pressure of overpressure for automatic pressure relief, so as to ensure the safety of the valve and the pipeline;
• 2. ZECO 4 inch ball valve has a reliable seating design in low pressure. In very low-pressure lines, depending on the seat itself seal can not be guaranteed, there may be a small leakage. Therefore, ZECO designed the valve seat sealing form loaded by the plate spring. Under the condition of low pressure, the pressure of the plate spring makes the valve seat close to the ball, which ensures the reliable sealing and the sealing performance of the ball valve in long-term use;
• 3. ZECO 4 inch ball valve has a reliable seating design in high temperature. In the seating of medium and high-temperature structures, ZECO using para polystyrene as seal material can be used in the temperature of 300 ℃, as well as higher temperatures was designed using metal seal combination of high-temperature resistant material;
• 4. ZECO 4 inch ball valve also has a fire protection structure, anti-blow-out stem, and anti-static international standard structure.

Dimensions & Weight of 56 Inch Ball Valves

Features of 56 Inch Ball Valves

1. ZECO 56 inch ball valve has an anti-blow-out stem. Because the valve diameter is too large, when replacing the packing, if there is no stem anti-blow-out structure, the personnel cannot control the position of the stem at all, and the stem will be pushed out of the valve body due to the huge pressure caused by the pipeline site-specific property losses and personnel safety threats;
2. ZECO 56 inch ball valve is designed with a super fire-safe structure to prevent great loss after the fire. After the resilient seal structure is damaged by fire, if there is no fire-safe structure, it will cause huge leakage, and after the fire-safe structure, the metal seal structure will replace the resilient seal structure to keep close cooperation with the ball, so as to prevent leakage and cause greater losses;
3. ZECO 56 inch ball valve has excellent design in o-ring and gasket combination to prevent leakage from body connection area;
4. ZECO 56 inch ball valve has a floating spring-loaded seat design to assure sealing even at low pressures.
