Three-way ball valves can be L-shaped or T-shaped. L-shaped three-way ball valves have one inlet and one outlet, and the third port is used as a
bypass; T-shaped three-way ball valves have two inlets and one outlet, or one inlet and two outlets. Three-way ball valves are often used in piping
systems that require flow direction changes or bypass operations, such as in chemical, oil, natural gas, and water supply systems. Multi-way ball
valves can control the flow direction of fluids in multiple pipelines, allowing multiple operations on one valve, such as distributing, mixing, or isolating fluids. Multi-way ball valves are suitable for complex piping systems that require precise control of fluid distribution, such as petroleum refining,
chemical processing, multi-product pipeline transportation, etc.
◎ Design Standard: API6D, ASME B16.34, GB/T 19672, etc.
◎ Material: Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Alloy steel.
◎ Nominal Size: 2"~24"DN50~600
◎ Nominal Pressure: CLASS150LB~2500LB PN10~PN420
◎ Applicable Temperature: -60℃~250℃
◎ Operation Mode: manual, worm, pneumatic, electric, etc.
◎ Scope of Application: Widely used in production equipment in the petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. In these industries, three-way and multi-way ball valves can be used for opening and closing of various pipelines or flow control in the regulating system. For example, in the petrochemical production process, three-way and multi-way ball valves can control the mixing ratio of different oil products to meet production needs. In the pharmaceutical industry, three-way and multi-way ball valves are used to accurately control the flow direction and flow of liquid medicine to ensure the quality and safety of medicines. In the textile, food and other industries, three-way and multi-way ball valves also play an important role in controlling medium flow, distributing fluids, adding materials, etc.
RAYS cast steel check valves are designed and manufactured to provide maximum service life and dependability. All check valves meet the design requirements of American Petroleum Institute standard API600 & 6D.BS EN 13709 and generally conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers standard ASME B16.34. Valves are available in a complete range of body/cover materials and trims.
RAYS Through Conduit (T.C.) Slab Gate Valves are manufactured with a full bore port, rising stem OS&Y and with floating seats and gate, pressure energized, for a bubble tight shut off upstream and downstream under both low and high differential pressure. Double block and bleed capability and automatic relief of excess body pressure are a standard feature of this seat design. The smooth, continuous bore minimizes turbulence within the valve and when in the open position it produces a pressure drop equivalent to a portion of pipe of the same length and diameter. The seat faces are outside the flow stream and therefore protected from the erosive action of the flow. Pigs and scrapers can be run through the valve without damage.
RAYS' rising stem ball valve is designed to operate without friction between the ball and the seat during opening and to achieve zero leakage when closed. This makes it well-suited for demanding conditions. The valve is made entirely of metal and is fire-resistant, capable of functioning in extreme temperatures ranging from -196°C (320.8°F) to 538°C (1000.4°F). It can handle media with particulates like sand and short fibers, and meets NACE standards for corrosion resistance, ensuring it can resist sulfide stress cracking in harsh environments. The valve also features a self-cleaning mechanism. When the ball is tilted away from the seat, the fluid flows 360° around the ball's sealing surface, effectively removing any debris. This prevents damage from high-speed fluid flows and keeps the sealing area clean. The rising stem ball valve is ideal for various applications including exhaust, fluid transfer, pipeline isolation, bypass, product segmentation, and emergency shutdowns, particularly where high switching frequencies and zero leakage in high temperatures are required.
