Λ port ball valve

3. Structural reliabilityMetal-to-metal contact is accommodated between body and cap, and between seat and cap, for correct seat centering and adequate depressing force. Spline shafted stem ends are firmly jointed with the disc for correct disc centering and higher operational durability. In addition, trunnion mounting of the disc on the body helps increase total structural reliability of the valve against extraordinary piping stress.4. Stabilized operating torqueMetal backed PTFE stem bearings KITZ Λ-port® control valves are designed for unidirectional flow control. Be sure to mount the valve correctly so that the direction of line flow matches the direction of the arrow mark cast on the valve body. A sharp lambda-shaped edged disc, combined with a metal seat, cuts through all impurities suspended in the line fluid when the valve is closed and has additional applications for throttling (regulating flow volumes at an intermediate travel). Lambda port valves are ideal for the control and shutoff of slurries, highly viscous fluids and fibrous fluids such as pulp and paper material. 1. Sharp solid cuttingA trunnion mounted disc is sharply edged for cutting solids and fibrous objects mixed in line fluids, preventing disturbance to valve closing operation, and minimizing fluid residue within the valve bore. 2. Choice of trimsChoice of two different trim configurations is available, depending on the planned service condition:FLEKSEAT, made of spring Steel Type 316, provides elasti
