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 C-type ball valve adopts a double eccentric design: the rotational center (axis) of the C-ball is offset from both the geometric center (sphere) of the C-ball sealing surface and the sealing center of the seat. This double eccentric design results in a dual-vector cam motion involving both rotation and translation of the C-ball, facilitated by the stem being offset in two planes. When the valve is closed, the C-ball and the seat interact to create a cam-action wedge tightness, achieving a torque seal. The torque required for sealing is provided by a handle, gear, or actuator, ensuring a tight shut-off that is mechanically independent of springs or process pressure
The structure is simple & compact with: smooth flow passages, high accuracy in flow characteris- tic curves, stable & reliable, economically practical, and easy to maintain. Based on a conventional type, it is designed and developed through modular extension which is capable of producing special structures such as: the C7 series angle type single-seat valve, bellows seal single-seat valve, and insulated jacket type single-seat valve for user selection.
The quality of forged steel parts is higher than that of cast steel parts, and they can withstand large impact forces. Their plasticity, toughness, and other mechanical properties are higher than those of cast steel parts. The diameter of forged steel stop valves is generally not more than DN80, and most of them are reduced-diameter designs. Compared with cast steel stop valves of the same diameter, the flow rate is slightly lower, but the pressure and temperature range they can withstand are higher than those of cast steel valves, and their sealing performance is much better than that of cast steel stop valves, and their service life is longer. Like other stop valves, they are subject to the restrictions of the flow direction of the medium. Forged steel stop valves can be divided into straight-through stop valves (type stop valves) and direct-flow stop valves (Y-type stop valves) according to installation positions.
