Introduction of Industrial valves, part 1: Hydraulic ball valves

Hydraulic ball valves can be used in water and oil applications in hydraulic systems. They are available in 2-way, 3-way and 4-way configurations and a variety of materials, sizes and port styles.

Features/advantages:

• Available in dimensions from 1/4" to 4"

• Full bore hole reduces clogging

• Material available in carbon steel and stainless steel, duplex steel.
• 90° Rotating opens or closes valve quickly
• Working Pressure is from 250 PSI up to 10,000 PSI depends on sizes and material. As most of the hydraulic ball valves are used for high pressure applications, so they are called high pressure ball valves also.
• End connection types include NPT, SAE, BSP, BSPP thread
• Float ball design provides bi-directional isolation
• Supplied with wetted parts according to NACE MR0175/MR0103

Applications:

Suitable for general hydraulic applications for below industries:
• Plant Automation
• Machine Tools
• Marine and offshore
• Material Handling
• Mining
• Miscellaneous Industrial
• Miscellaneous Manufacturing
• Molding
• Oil & Gas
• Power Generation
• Vehicle Assembly Facilities

Main types of hydraulic ball valves

• 2-way block body hydraulic ball valves
• block body 3-way hydraulic ball valves
• block body 4-way hdyraulic ball valves
• Hydraulic Manifold

Connection types of hydraulic ball valves

High pressure hydraulic ball valves are supplied usually with connection types as below:

• Thread ends: Female thread or male thread of BSP, BSPP or NPT type, to connect the hydraulic tubing with threads.
• SAE flanged ends: to connect with SAE flanges.
• Welded connection ends: Including socket weld and butt weld type
• DIN connections: 2-way hydraulic ball valves with din connection 
• Board type: 2-way and 3-way board type ball valves
