High pressure 3 way ball valve Product Overview
The high-pressure three-way ball valve is a premium valve designed for precise fluid control under extreme pressure. Its maximum working pressure can reach 600LB, demonstrating excellent pressure resistance. This valve operates stably in high-pressure environments, ensuring efficient and safe fluid transmission.
The valve is made from high-quality forged steel. The fine forging process ensures that the metal fiber structure is aligned with the product’s outline, significantly enhancing its strength and toughness. This valve handles high-temperature and high-pressure steam, corrosive chemical media, and pressure shocks from frequent switching operations. With its sturdy structure and excellent materials, it provides reliable fluid control solutions for various industrial processes.
In terms of design, the high-pressure three-way ball valve considers fluid characteristics and operational requirements for different conditions. Its unique three-way structure allows flexible switching between three flow channels, meeting complex fluid distribution and flow direction control needs. It can guide fluid from one channel to two or merge fluid from two channels into one with a simple rotation. This precise control of fluid direction and distribution optimizes the efficiency of industrial systems.
Additionally, the valve features advanced sealing technology and high-precision manufacturing. It ensures zero leakage at pressures up to 600LB, preventing safety risks, environmental pollution, and resource waste from leaks. Its compact design saves installation space and facilitates installation and maintenance in tight spaces, reducing costs and maintenance difficulty.
Description and Difference Between L-Type and T-Type Structures
L-Type Structure
The flow channel of the L-type high-pressure three-way ball valve is “L” shaped. It is used to switch between two media, closing one while allowing the other to flow. For example, in an industrial refrigeration system, it switches between refrigerants A and B. In one position, refrigerant A flows while refrigerant B is cut off; in another position, refrigerant B flows while refrigerant A is cut off.
T-Type Structure
The flow channel of the T-type high-pressure three-way ball valve is “T” shaped. It connects and cuts off any two of the three media, allowing for confluence or diversion. For instance, in a chemical process, raw materials A, B, and C may need confluence or diversion. When the ball valve is in a specific position, raw materials A and B can flow together out of one outlet, or raw material A can be diverted to two different outlets.
Differences Between L-Type and T-Type
1. Different Flow Control Functions
– L-type: Used for switching between two media.
– T-type: Used for confluence or diversion of three media.
2. Differences in Application Scenarios
– L-type: Suitable for simple media switching scenarios, like dual energy supply systems.
– T-type: Suitable for complex control of three-way media, such as multi-component mixing in fine chemicals.
Advantages of Forged Steel Materials
