Description
The Shearstream HP Segmented Ball Valve is a segmented, ball control valve that provides exceptional control and rangeability for the process industries.
Industry Sectors:
- Pulp & paper
- Basic (organic & inorganic)
- Water
- Midstream Transportation
- Conventional Steam
Design Range:
Size Range: NPS 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16
Pressure Class Range: ASME class 150, 300, 600
Seating Material: Metal or soft seat
- Segmented ball controls very low flow rates and can open up to large flow rates, resulting in a 300:1 turndown
- Segmented ball provides shearing action as it moves through the seat to cut through debris and provide reliable shutoff
- Metal, soft, and heavy duty seat options provide reliable tight shutoff for a variety of applications and process conditions
One-piece body
- High performance ensured regardless of flange torque loads
- Seal tightness not altered by piping forces, as in two-piece bodies
- One leak path eliminated
Segmented V-notch ball
- Clogging reduced
- “V” shaped orifice exceeds 300:1 rangeability
- Excellent shearing action in fibrous fluid mediums
Tight shut-off seats
- Metal seal provides greater than ANSI Class IV shutoff
- Soft seals achieve ANSI Class VI shutoff
Self-centering ball
- Seal installation improved and simplified
- Shutoff further improved
No-shim seal
- Servicing and installation problems reduced
Thick-walled retainer
- Valve’s normal service life extended in erosive environments
Flangeless design standard
- Reduced cost
Separable flange option
- Bolt length reduced, avoiding bolt stretch and leakage in event of fire
- Flange bolting aligns easier
- Reduced cost with alloys
Integral flange option
- Bolt length reduced, avoiding bolt stretch and leakage in event of fire
