Product Overview:
The 1-1/2 inch manual three-way ball valve is a high-performance fluid control valve designed for multi-directional flow control and diversion applications. It enables seamless switching between different fluid paths through manual operation, making it ideal for industries such as chemical, petroleum, natural gas, and water treatment.
Product Structure:
– Valve Body and Bonnet: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel (such as 316 stainless steel), ensuring structural strength and corrosion resistance.
– Ball and Stem: The valve ball is made of wear-resistant materials, while the stem is crafted from stainless steel, providing stable operation and long-term durability.
– Sealing Components: Equipped with high-performance sealing materials to ensure leak-free operation and easy maintenance.
Features:
– Three-Way Design: Supports configurations for one inlet with two outlets or two inlets with one outlet, meeting complex flow requirements.
– Manual Operation: Easy control of valve opening and closing via a handle, suitable for applications requiring manual operation.
– Fluid Control: Provides stable fluid control and flow regulation, offering easy and reliable operation.
Description of L-type and T-type three-way ball valves
Features:
– Low fluid resistance: Its resistance coefficient is equal to that of a pipe section of the same length.
– Compact structure: The design is relatively compact and occupies relatively little space.
– Quick opening and closing: It can be opened or closed quickly.
– Good sealing performance: Usually better sealing materials are used to achieve reliable sealing.
– Easy operation: You only need to rotate the valve stem to switch the fluid channel.
Difference:
– L-type three-way ball valve can only connect two mutually orthogonal pipelines, and cannot simultaneously maintain the interconnection of the third pipeline, and only plays a distribution role. That is, one in and one out, A leads to B or A leads to C.
– T-type three-way ball valve can connect three orthogonal pipelines to each other and cut off the third channel, playing a role of diversion and confluence. It can achieve one in and two out, or two in and one out, and can also close any channel to connect the other two channels.
Application:
– L-type three-way ball valves are often used in situations where the flow direction of a fluid needs to be switched, such as in some processes, distributing a fluid from one pipe to another perpendicular pipe.
– T-type three-way ball valves are used in many fields because they can achieve the functions of diversion and confluence. For example, in chemical production, they are used for mixing or diversion of different materials; in heating systems, they can be used to adjust the flow distribution of different pipelines.
In general, L-type and T-type three-way ball valves play an important role in pipeline systems in industrial and civil fields. The specific selection should be determined according to actual working conditions and process requirements. When selecting, factors such as the nature, pressure, and temperature of the medium should also be considered to ensure the performance and reliability of the ball valve.
Product Characteristics:
– Corrosion Resistance: Made from 316 stainless steel, suitable for various corrosive media and seawater environments.
– Standard Size: Conforms to international standards with a 1-1/2 inch pipe connection, ensuring easy installation and wide compatibility.
– Working Pressure: Maximum working pressure of PN40, customizable to different pressure ratings as per requirements.
– Operating Temperature: Suitable for temperatures ranging from -20°C to 250°C, ensuring high stability and adaptability to various environmental conditions.
Operating Conditions:
– Applications: Widely used in industries such as chemical, petroleum, natural gas, and water treatment for fluid control and diversion.
– Maintenance: Easy to operate, with regular inspection and maintenance prolonging the valve’s service life.
