Three Piece Ball Valve
A three-piece ball valve is a type of ball valve used to control the flow of fluids or gases in a pipeline system. It is called a "three-piece" valve because its body is made up of three parts :
Two end caps (the two pieces on either side of the valve).
A middle section (the central body part that holds the ball and other internal components).
We CAPRO VALVES provide following Key Features in our THREE PIECE BALL VALVE :
Ball : The valve contains a hollow, perforated ball that rotates to control the flow. When the ball's hole is aligned with the flow path, the valve is open; when it is turned 90 degrees, the flow is blocked.
Quick Disassembly : The three-piece design allows the valve to be easily disassembled for maintenance or cleaning without removing it from the pipeline.
Sealing : It typically uses O-rings or other sealing methods to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks when the valve is closed.
Versatility : Suitable for use in various industries, such as chemical, oil, gas, water, and food processing, depending on the materials used for construction.
Body Construction : The three-piece valve can be made from different materials such as stainless steel, brass, or carbon steel, which are chosen based on the requirements of the specific application, such as corrosion resistance or pressure ratings.
Advantages of a Three-Piece Ball Valve :
Ease of Maintenance : Because the valve can be disassembled into three parts, it is easier to repair, clean, or replace individual components.
Customization : The three-piece design makes it adaptable to a wide range of pipe configurations, allowing for modifications like different end connections (flanged, threaded, welded, etc.).
Improved Sealing : The design allows for better sealing, reducing the likelihood of leakage.
Common Applications OF OUR VALVE :
Flow control in industrial piping systems : It can be Used in systems where flow needs to be either fully on or off (often called "on/off" control).
Chemical and pharmaceutical industries : It is also useful For controlling the flow of reactive or hazardous fluids.
Food and beverage industries : To ensure sanitary flow control and meet health and safety standards.
