Ball valves

Energomet

Here you will find an offer for ordinary and acid-resistant ball valves (taps), valves with cartridge and ceramic ball valves for district heating, manometric, steam valves, control valves, elements of industrial fittings

Application
Ball valves are used to cut off the flow of medium in installations of water, steam, oily liquids, solvents, acids, salt solutions and others. They are used in many industries such as heating, chemical, petrochemical pharmaceutical, food and other industries.

The application of the valve in a particular industry is determined by the type of material used in its manufacture, i.e. acid-resistant steel or carbon structural steel. Valves made of acid-resistant steel are used for the transfer of some organic and inorganic acids, natural water including sea water, drinking water, alkaline solutions, salt solutions, all food products and other aggressive substances. Structural carbon steel valves are used for the transfer of industrial water, steam, water/steam mixtures and other non-aggressive substances.

Usage of ball valves

Usage guidelines

Ball valves are used to cut off the flow of medium in installations of water, steam, oily liquids, solvents, acids, salt solutions and others. They are used in many industries such as heating, chemical, petrochemical pharmaceutical, food and other industries.

A peculiar property of the ball valve is the phenomenon of an increase in torque on the lever, after long-term storage or not using the already installed valve. This is an unfavorable phenomenon, and in order to prevent it, it is necessary to move the valve from the closed position to the open position or vice versa several times at least once every two weeks. When doing so, it should be remembered that the ball valve can only operate in the fully open or fully closed position. It cannot take a partially open or partially closed position. The valves we produce, which are presented in this section, are not control valves.

Production program

Our standard ball valves operate at temperatures up to 200ºC and pressures up to 2.5 MPa and 150ºC and pressures up to 4 MPa – depending on the type of valve. At the individual request of the customer, we make valves that work at higher temperatures and pressures.
