The V-ball valves or V-port ball valves are similar to traditional ball in which there is a V-notch on a ball-shaped disc to control flow by a rotating quarter-turn motion. The “V-port" is a particular design that bring about precise flow and the ability to regulate and control flow by V balls of  different degrees. These special valves are used in a wide range of chemical applications, including the most challenging services with many advantages.

Flow Modulating

The accuracy of V-ball valves provides equal percentage flow characteristics. As the ball rotates, desired flow rates can be achieved by positioning the ball anywhere between 0° and 90°.

Bubble tight shutoff

V-ball valves have the ability to close tightly. Therefore, no other shutoff valves is required when using a V-ball valve on a globe valve.

Lower pressure drop

V-ball valves also have a higher coefficient of flow (Cv) than the same size globe valve, which directs the flow and uses a plug to control the flow through the valve. This means that the flow rate achieved by one shut-off valve can be achieved with a smaller V-ball size.

Higher shutoff pressure.

A 90°rotation of the ball allows the V-ball to close at a higher operating pressure. This therefore allows the use of lower torque actuators, resulting in cost savings and increased efficiency for the end user.
