Description

The simple and robust design enables model BV ball valves a wide spectrum of use. The process version of the ball valve has been designed to meet the requirements of the process industry, in particular for natural gas and aggressive media applications.

For applications with liquid or gaseous media, ball valves are recommended due to easy cleaning of the straight-through internal bore.

The process version of model BV can be installed directly in the process pipeline due to complied specifications. The instrument version, on the other hand, is used as an additional shut-off valve in combination with the instrument.

The valve design and the high-quality sealing materials ensure high durability and tightness.

The ball valve can be mounted, depending on the installation conditions, directly onto a pipeline or in a control panel, or for the connection of several measuring instruments at the same location.

The super-finished machining of the internal parts allows a very smooth and precise operation, even at high pressures and after long periods without valve operation. The surface finish is also minimising corrosion with aggressive media and makes it easier to clean.
