There are different ways to manufacture industrial valves. The two most common methods are forging and casting. Forged and cast valves are made in two distinct ways.  Forging begins with the pouring of molten metal into a mold and using forging machinery to apply pressure. When considering materials, a forged valve must meet specific specifications.  […]

A ball valve is a two-part system consisting of a stem and a rotating ball. The stem connects the actuator and ball. The stem enlarges the ball, allowing it to rotate. A ball valve’s body is usually rectangular in shape, with an enlarged rectangular section at the ball end. The stem also helps position the […]

Floating ball valves are an industry standard for regulating flow in piping systems. They are composed of two concave seats that sandwich a ball inside. The seats do not move, creating a tight seal. The actuation shaft is not fixed to the ball; instead, it pivots as the ball axis rotates. The valves are also […]

A segment ball valve is an oblique, V-shaped, and oftentimes double-acting device that contains internal components. The segment ball valve is constructed of rigid, hard, and thermoplastic-lined metallic materials. The segment exposes a flow path through a V-notch.  A segment ball valve is generally composed of a metal or PTFE seat. The choice of seat […]
