Recently, RAYS had sets of DN150/PN100 and DN300/PN150 carbon steel pneumatic hydraulic actuated Ball Valves which have been completed for production. They successfully passed the inspection and will be delivered to an international customer for their use in their natural gas pipeline.The pneumatic hydraulic ball valve is widely used in long distance natural gas pipelines and Oil & Gas field ring trunk pipe networks. They have the advantages of: stable transmission, easy control, and no need of power supply. More pros is that: it uses high pressure natural gas or hand pump as the power source, no machinery or electric equipment has a lower accident rate, it is safe & reliable, and it is economical. Under normal working conditions, the tank is filled with half a tank of hydraulic oil and the gas source tank & contrast tank are filled with natural gas, and the delay tank is empty tank. When the ball valve is in action, the oil is pushed by the itself, and the actuating mechanism is used to realize the opening and closing. The actuator is also divided into rotary vane type and fork-type. The rotary vane actuator is equipped with a rotor, which is immersed in hydraulic oil. The oil from the gas-liquid tank pushes the rotor to rotate, and the rotor drives the ball valve associated with it to rotate. While realizing the switch of the ball valve, the fork actuator uses the high pressure natural gas in the pipeline. The reciprocating piston is driven by hydraulic oil, and the rotary motion of the valve is transformed into the rotary motion of the valve by means of the fork, which drives the ball valve associated with it to rotate, and realizes the switch operation of the ball valve. A pneumatic switch handle is arranged in the operating box. The automatic control system compares the instantaneous pressure of the trunk line with the pressure in the contrast tank, determines the switch of the valve, and realizes the automatic control. Delay tank can delay valve action time and avoid instantaneous misoperation.A pressure upper and lower limit and a pressure drop rate are set to meet the operational requirements. The ball valve automatically closes when the pipe pressure is above or below the upper and lower limits. In the event of an explosion or rupture of the pipe, the valve will also automatically close when the detected pressure drop exceeds the set pressure drop rate.Manual, automatic, pneumatic and remote control modes are integrated into one. The operating mode can be selected according to the actual operating conditions to improve the safety and reliability of the valve. Manual mode, only need to replace different gears, press the handle of the hand pump to realize the switch operation; pneumatically, press the operation handle in the direction of “left open and right close” to complete the switch operation. If the notebook computer is used to set the parameters and Automatic control of the valve is achieved by starting the automatic function. If the valve is equipped with a remote control (RTu), you can pass the signal remotely.[RAYS Pneumatic Hydraulic Actuated Ball Valve]hnical featuresBolted or fully welded body, side or top entry, trunnion mounted ball or floating ball, fire safe design and anti-static design, anti-blow out stem, emergency sealing, soft or metal seated, DBB/DIB-1/DIB-2 designSize2” – 64”，DN50 – DN1600Pressure Rating150 lb – 2500 lb，PN10 – PN420MFG StandardAPI 6D, ISO 14313, ASME B16.34,ISO 17292, GB/T19672, GB/T12237MaterialA105, LF2, F316(L), F304(L), F11, F22, F51, WCB, WCC, WC6, WC9, CF8, CF3, CF8M, CF3M, LCB, LCCTemperature-196 ~ 120℃, -46 ~ 220℃, -29 ~ 550℃For more details, please visit https://www.raysvalve.com/, or email to info@raysvalve.com…

Rising Stem Ball Valve (RSBV) is a new type of ball valve, which is mainly used to cut off, distribute, and change the flow direction of medium in the pipeline. RAYS Rising Stem Ball Valve with all-metal structure and fire proof design, can be applied to the temperature range from -196℃ to 600℃. Compared with the conventional ball valve, the RSBV’s ball & seat movement has no friction, small opening & closing torque, and better sealing performance. It can be adapted to general working medium such as: water, solvent, acids, and natural gas. However, it is also suitable for working conditions such as: oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane, ethylene, etc.Rising Stem Ball Valve utilizes the cooperation of the inclined surface of the bottom surface of the valve stem and the spiral groove to realize the tilting and rotation of the ball. When the valve is opened, the ball is tilted away from the valve seat. Then, the fluid in the pipeline passes through the valve along the spherical surface evenly, which reduces the local erosion of the valve seat by the high-speed fluid. Finally, the ball rotates to full open position. When the valve is closed, the ball relies on the mechanical wedge of the stem bevel to be used on the seat to produce the required sealing pressure to ensure reliable sealing performance. The sealing specific pressure is adjusted according to the changes of fluid erosion wear, corrosion degree & working pressure, which prolongs the service life of the valve.Compared to regular ball valves, RAYS Rising Stem Ball Valves have the following design features:No WearThe ball of the rising stem ball valve rotates away from the valve seat, which eliminates the friction with the valve seat and solves the wear problem of the traditional ball valve, gate valve, and plug valve seats.Single-seat DesignThe static single seat of the RSBV can guarantee the bidirectional zero leakage and avoid the problem of pressure rising in the cavity of the double seats.Anti-abrasion Hard Sealing BallThe sealing surface of the ball is surfaced with a layer of cemented carbide and polished to meet the sealing performance in very harsh medium.Dual Stem GuidesValve Stem guide groove slides along the rigid guide pin then controls the valve stem’s lift and rotate smoothly.Mechanical Wedge ForceThe cam bevel on the lower end of the stem provides a mechanical wedge force to keep the ball and seat tight.Inner Leak DetectionThe valve body is designed with a special device to detect the internal leakage of the valve.Low Operating TorqueRSBV sealing surface has no friction, so the opening and closing torque is small.Self-cleaningWhen the ball is deviated from the seat, the medium can flow 360 degrees along the sealing surface and rinse the impurities in the medium.Injectable SealantCan be maintained during operation, and the sealing grease is injected through the greaser to completely control the volatilization and prevent leakage.Long LifeRSBV could replace many troublesome valves such as ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, and plug valves. The unique characteristics of the RSBV are that it can effectively reduce the device failure rate, greatly reduce the user’s use, and maintenance costs. The RSBV uses a simple and effective movement to coordinately control the separation, rotation & compression of the sealing contact surface, so that the valve switching process has no friction, zero leakage, and low torque operation. For conditions with low leakage and frequent opening/closing requirements, the RSBV is undoubtedly the most ideal application.For more information about the rising stem ball valve, please visit https://www.raysvalve.com/ , or email to info@raysvalve.com , or call 0577-66999000…

RAYS Cryogenic Ball Valves are mainly used in liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas installations, air separation devices, and other low-temperature industries. The most advanced Lip-Seal sealing technology is adopted by RAYS Cryogenic Ball Valve, which can maintain excellent sealing performance in application.For the ball valves which are commonly used in low temperatures, RAYS fully considers the requirements of various parts of the valve under low temperature conditions. Due to the temperature stress of the valve body under low temperature conditions, the additional stress of expansion and contraction of the connecting pipe is very high. Also, the rigidity of the casing is important to keep the valve sealing pair from deforming. In order to prevent the brittle failure of stress concentration at low temperature, RAYS Cryogenic Ball Valve avoids sharp angles or grooves on the shell during the production process.In low temperature environments, the valve is designed with an extended stem to prevent damage caused by the temperature of packing box to freezing point. The austenitic stainless steel will undergo partial transformation at low temperature, which will result in phase transformation stress and deformation, and the temperature change will also produce temperature change stress and deformation. In the manufacturing process, RAYS thoroughly pays attention to the low-temperature cryogenic treatment of all parts of the valve to reduce the effect of temperature on the sealing performance for the Cryogenic Ball Valve.Cryogenic Ball Valve medium is usually flammable and explosive, and when the valve seat is a non-metal polymer, there is danger of static electricity accumulation. That potential static can lead to a spark which can cause combustions and explosions. Therefore, within the design and manufacturing, RAYS sets a conduction device between the valve stem + the valve body and valve stem + disc to extract static electricity.The low-temperature liquefied gas medium will vaporize and expand when the temperature rises. For example, if there is a closed space in the valve, the internal pressure of the valve will increase several times and cause leakage when the liquid is vaporized. In severe cases, the valve body cracks and causes an accident. The ball valve forms a confined space when fully closed and fully open, so RAYS adopts the valve cavity automatic pressure relief design. The RAYS Cryogenic Ball Valve usually adopts the following two internal venting methods: 1) Through the pressure relief hole, the valve middle cavity is connected with the pipeline inlet end, so that the middle cavity pressure is always balanced with the pipeline inlet end; 2) While adopting DBB structure, once the chamber pressure reaches the set safety relief pressure, the cavity medium is discharged into the inlet line.RAYS Cryogenic Ball Valve product range：SizeNPS2’’-24’’Pressure RatingClass 150-2500Temperature-196 ~ 150℃Body MaterialAustenitic Stainless SteelTrim MaterialStainless Steel, Lip Seal Sealing, Cryogenic non-metallic Seal Ring / SeatRAYS follows the spirit of craftsmanship and pursues to the highest quality.
