Product Introduction

Pneumatic Single Acting Ball Valve

 

Quarter-Turn Operation: A pneumatic actuator rotates the ball 90 degrees to open or close the flow passage for automated isolation.
Spring-Return Design: Compressed air drives one stroke, while the internal spring provides the return stroke when actuator air pressure is lost.
Selectable Fail Position: Available configurations can include Fail-Close (FC) or Fail-Open (FO), depending on the actuator and valve assembly.

 

Key Features and Configuration

 

Fail-Safe Action: FC configurations return the valve to the closed position; FO configurations return it to the open position when actuator air is lost.

Actuator Torque Matching: Sizing considers valve operating torque, maximum differential pressure, minimum air supply pressure, and spring-return torque.

Material and Seat Options: Body, ball, stem, seats, and seals are selected according to fluid compatibility, pressure, and operating temperature.

Pneumatic Accessories: Optional solenoid valves, limit switch boxes, position indicators, and air filter regulators support automated control and position feedback.

Key Selection Checks

  • Process Conditions: Specify fluid composition, operating temperature, line pressure, and maximum differential pressure.
  • Fail Position: Determine whether the valve must open or close when pneumatic pressure is lost.
  • Air Supply: Provide the minimum available air pressure for actuator sizing.
  • Installation Interface: Confirm valve mounting dimensions, actuator compatibility, control voltage, and accessory enclosure requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What is a pneumatic single acting ball valve?

A: It combines a ball valve with a spring-return pneumatic actuator. Air pressure drives one stroke, and the spring returns the valve to its configured position when actuator air is lost.

Q: What is the difference between Fail-Close and Fail-Open?

A: Fail-Close returns the valve to the closed position after air failure, while Fail-Open returns it to the open position. The required action depends on the process safety requirements and actuator configuration.

Q: How do I select the correct actuator size?

A: Provide the valve operating torque, maximum differential pressure, minimum available air pressure, and required fail position. Both air-driven and spring-return torque must meet the valve's operating requirements.

Q: Can the assembly be used in hazardous areas?

A: Use only configurations with the approvals required for the intended hazardous-area classification. Verify the certificates and ratings of the actuator, solenoid valve, limit switch enclosure, and other relevant components.

Q: Can the valve and actuator assembly be customized?

A: Options may include valve materials, seat materials, actuator sizing, fail position, solenoid valves, limit switches, and mounting accessories. Availability and compatibility should be confirmed for each application.
