What Is V Port Ball Valve?

/in /by

What Is Ball Valve?

The ball valve is a quarter-turn valve, it only needs to rotary the ball a quarter turn, thereby open or close the valve. Ball valves are used for on off or regulation.

Ball Valves Types

Ball valves can be divided into 2-way ball valves, 3-way ball valves and 4-way ball valves according to the direction of flow, which are used for on-off, mixing and diverter.
Ball valves can be divided into thread type, flange type, clamp type and welding type according to the connection method.

At the same time, according to the port types, the ball valve can be classified into full bore type, reduced bore type and V port type.

What Is a V Port Ball Valve?

If you need a ball valve that accurately regulates the flow rate, we would recommend the V port ball valve to you. The difference between the V port ball valve and the traditional ball valve is that the ball is a V-shaped port, and the common ones are 30°, 45°, 60° or 90° angles so that you can better control the flow.

Available in electric V-port ball valve and pneumatic V-port ball valve to help you control the flow rate remotely and locally.

Applications of V port Ball Valve

V port ball valve is suitable for applications that need flow rate regulation.

● Oil and gas
● Water treatment, water supply network, dam
● Irrigation
● Chemical industry
● Food and beverage
● And so on

3-Piece Ball Valves VS 2-Piece Ball Valves

/in /by

Ball valve is currently the most widely used valve, it can be made into different types to be suitable for different industries. For example, it can be made of stainless steel, plastic, brass and so on.

In this article, we will introduce you to the difference between a three-piece ball valve and a two-piece ball valve, hoping to help you understand and choose a better valve.

What is a three-piece ball valve?

The three-piece ball valve is composed of a pair of connecting ends and the main body, which are combined by these three parts. The end cap can be threaded, welded, flanged, or clamped to connect to the pipeline. It can be made of stainless steel or carbon steel.

The a dvantage of the three-piece ball valve is that it is easy to disassemble. So that the central body can be maintained and cleaned without affecting the entire pipeline. For example, when the valve body is blocked, we only need to untie the bolts of the ball valve, take out the actuator and the center body, and then clean and maintain it. After cleaning, we can put the center body and the end cap together with bolts. We do not need to disassemble the entire valve from the pipeline, which greatly reduces our maintenance costs.

Secondly, most of the three-piece ball valves are full-bore designs, which can allow more flow to transport. Widely used in water treatment, wastewater treatment, seawater treatment, and so on.

What is a two-piece ball valve?

The two-piece ball valve is composed of two parts, which are assembled by bolts. They can be threaded connections, flanged connections or welded connections to meet different pipeline requirements.

The two-piece ball valve is tight and reliable. It has a good sealing performance, which reduces the possibility of leakage. If the valve is blocked, the entire valve needs to be removed from the pipeline for cleaning. This might make the repair cost increase. Suitable for flow rate control of water, steam, air, and so on.

In fact, there is little difference between the two-piece ball valve and the three-piece ball valve, both of which are used for start, on-off, and flow adjustment. But compared with the two designs, the three-piece ball valve is more able to withstand high-pressure applications and is more convenient for maintenance.

COVNA two-piece ball valve and three-piece ball valve can be driven manually, electrically or pneumatically, which perfectly meets the needs of your different industries. If you need more information about COVNA valves, please feel free to contact us at sales@covnaactuator.com

5 Types Of COVNA Industrial Valves

/in /by

In this article, we will introduce the 5 types of industrial valves for your reference. And hope this article could help you to know and select the right valve for your project.

Ball Valve

The ball valve is one of the quarter-turn valves, which can be opened or closed only by turning 90 degrees rotations. It is mainly used for start, shut-off and regulate the flow rate of fluid.

Features Of Ball Valves
Easy to operate and easy to repair
A variety of designs, applied in different industries
A variety of materials can meet your media requirements

Disadvantages Of Ball Valve
The size range is small, and the large-size ball valve is costly

Applications
Ball valves are suitable for smaller pipes. Mainly used for low pressure applications, if you need to use in high temperature or high pressure industries, you may need to customize the ball valve for your applications

Butterfly Valve

The butterfly valve is the same as the ball valve, it only needs to turn a quarter turn to open or close. When the valve is opened, the disc and the medium remain parallel. When the valve is closed, the disc and the medium remain vertical.

Features Of Butterfly Valves
Compact design, saving installation space
Lightweight
Easy to install
Large size range for various pipeline

Disadvantage Of Butterfly Valves
Not suitable for high pressure applications unless use the hard seat butterfly valve, but its cost is higher

Applications
Butterfly valves are very suitable for large-size pipelines, such as wastewater treatment, power plants, etc.

Check Valve

Check valve is a valve that can be opened and closed by relying on internal pressure. It is mainly used to prevent backflow and protect project safety.

Features Of Check Valves
Simple design and easy to operated
Multiple materials to meet your requirements of mediums
Disadvantage Of Check Valves
Not suitable for start, shut-off or regulating.

Gate Valves

The gate valve is mainly used to circulate and cut off the medium. Since it can only be fully open and fully closed, the flow cannot be adjusted.

Features Of Gate Valves
Can be used for two-way circulation
easy to use
Suitable for large size pipes

Disadvantage Of Gate Valves
Not able to regulate the flow rate

Globe Valves

The globe valve is similar to the gate valve in that the valve stem does linear movement to open or close the valve. The difference is that the stop valve can be used to circulate, cut off, and adjust the flow.

Features Of Globe Valves
Able to help to regulate the flow rate
Easy to install and easy to operate

Disadvantages Of Globe Valves
Not suitable for high pressure applications

Summarize
The above are the 5 industrial valves provided by COVNA. Hope to help you understand and choose the valve, and better apply it in your project.

What Does WOG Mean?

/in /by

We often see many marks on the valve body, such as PN16, DN50, WCB, etc., and there is another one called WOG, which is actually the abbreviation of Water, Oil, and Gas. In this article, we will introduce the meaning of 1000WOG, hoping to help you better understand and purchase.

What does WOG mean?

WOG is the abbreviation of Water, Oil, Gas, which represents the maximum pressure that this valve can withstand per square inch. For example, 1000WOG means that the valve can withstand a pressure of 1000PSI, which is approximately equal to 68.9bar. If the 1000WOG valve is applied to applications higher than 68.9bar, it may cause permanent damage, which may lead to accidents and hinder engineering production efficiency.

The importance of marking

In addition to WOG, other marks will be engraved on the valve body to show different functions.

Valve body size: DN is generally used to indicate the size of the valve body. For example, DN50 means that the size of the valve body is 50mm
Flow direction: Generally, an arrow is used to indicate the flow direction of the medium. When installing the valve, pay attention to the flow direction. otherwise, the valve cannot be used normally.
Body material: We will use CF8, CF8M or WCB to represent whether the body material is stainless steel or carbon steel
Pressure rating: If you see the number 150 on the valve body, it means that the valve body can withstand the pressure of ANSI 150Lb. PN10 means 10bar and 10K means JIS10K.

Summarize

WOG and other marks are to enable you to understand and use the valve correctly. If you have any questions about the marks on the COVNA valve body, please feel free to contact us at sales@covnaactuator.com
