Ball valves: technical characteristics

If you decide to replace heating radiators, install plumbing or simply water or gas meters, then you will simply need to buy a ball valve or valve.

But first you need to decide on the technical characteristics of the product, methods of purpose, material of manufacture, main types and differences of ball valves for plumbing, heating, and sizes.

Why is this type of valve called ball valve?

If you take the faucet in your hands and turn the handle of the faucet, you will see a steel valve inside it, made in the form of a ball with a hole. When the tap is opened, the valve rotates, allowing free passage for the flow of water or gas. In the closed state, the “ball” is turned perpendicular to the flow, which completely blocks its movement.

Ball valve


Types of ball valves or valves, their differences, sizes and technical characteristics

Ball valves differ in the diameter of the internal passage, the type of thread (internal or external), operating pressure, material from which they are made, product manufacturer and application environment.

The diameter or size of the ball valve used when installing a water and gas pipeline varies. Most often, ball valves with an internal passage diameter of 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch are used, which corresponds to 15 mm, 20 mm or 25 mm. Less commonly used are pipes and taps with a diameter of 1 inch, 1 1/4 inches, 1 1/2 or 2 inches.

For example, in an apartment or private house, it will be quite enough to install a half-inch 1/2 ball valve for cold and hot water supply, because The diameter of the pipe always corresponds to the diameter of the tap. For a heating system, if it has a circulation pump, a pipe with a diameter of 3/4 inch and, accordingly, ball valves of the same diameter are sufficient.

If the heating system has natural coolant circulation, then it is reasonable to use pipes and taps of larger diameter. This indicator should be at least 40-50 mm.

The diameter of the ball valve is usually indicated on the valve itself. The symbol indicating these technical characteristics is DN. For example, the designation DN15 shows us that this ball valve has a nominal internal bore diameter of 15 mm or 1/2 inch.

Ball valves are distinguished by thread type. It can be internal or external. In plumbers' slang, the internal thread is called a nut, and the external thread is called a fitting. For example, a ball valve that has internal threads at both ends is called a “nut-nut” ball valve. If on one side it is internal and on the other external, then there is a “nut-fitting”, etc.

The next indicator is the operating pressure, i.e., the pressure inside the system, up to the limit of which the ball valve can be used. It is measured in atmospheres, and on the product itself is indicated under the symbol PN.

For example, the designation PN40 indicates that the valve can be used in systems with a maximum operating pressure of up to 40 atmospheres. In practice, ball valves with a rating of at least PN16 can be used even in central heating systems, for example, to connect heating radiators, gas or.

Ball valves Valtec and Bugatti


Ball valve material

It can be silumin, brass or nickel-plated brass. Under no circumstances buy faucets made of silumin. This is a fairly brittle alloy. A faucet made of this material may fall apart before it is used during installation.

You can distinguish a silumin faucet from a brass one by holding both products in your hands and comparing their weight. A faucet made of brass will be noticeably heavier.

Application area of ​​ball valves

Typically, this type of tap is used to shut off the flow of water or gas. How to distinguish a ball valve for gas and water by external features? Everything is simple here - a tap with a yellow lever or “butterfly” is intended for a gas pipeline, taps of any other colors are for cold or hot water supply, or heating.

Ball valve manufacturers

Nowadays there are quite a few different manufacturers on the market. We recommend buying high-quality ball valves from well-known, proven brands, such as Bugatti or Valtec.

If the price for the products of these brands seems high to you, then you can purchase valves from domestic Russian manufacturers, for example, coupling ball valves 11b27p1 (GOST) of the Bologovo valve plant have proven themselves well since Soviet times, have good technical characteristics, and in addition their price production is low.

But beware of fakes, buy goods in branded stores.

What are DN, Du and PN? Plumbers and engineers must know these parameters!

DN – Standard denoting nominal internal diameter.

PN – Standard indicating nominal pressure.

What is Du?

Du– formed from two words: Diameter and Conditional. DN = DN. Du is the same as DN. It's just that DN is a more international standard. Du is the Russian-language representation of DN. Now it is absolutely necessary to abandon this name for Du.

What is DN?

DN- Standardized representation of diameter. GOST 28338-89 and GOST R 52720

Nominal diameter DN(nominal diameter; nominal bore; nominal size; nominal diameter; nominal bore): A parameter used for pipeline systems as a characteristic of the connected parts of the fittings.

Note - The nominal diameter is approximately equal to the internal diameter of the connected pipeline, expressed in millimeters and corresponding to the nearest value from a series of numbers adopted in the prescribed manner.

What is DN usually measured in?

According to the terms of the standard, it seems that it is not strictly tied to the unit of measurement (written in the documents). But it just means the diameter. And diameter is measured by length. And because the unit of length may be different. For example, inch, foot, meter and the like. For Russian documents we simply measure in mm by default. Although the documents say that it is still measured in mm. GOST 28338-89. But it does not have a unit of measurement:

How can it not, if it does? Can you write in the comments how to understand this phrase?

It seems that it has arrived... DN (diameter number expressed in millimeters). That is, it does not have a unit of measurement, but rather contains constant values ​​(digital discrete values ​​like: 15,20,25,32...). But it cannot be designated, for example, as DN 24. Because the number 24 is not in GOST 28338-89. There are strict values ​​in order like: 15,20,25,32... And only these need to be selected for designation.

DN is measured by the nominal diameter in mm (millimeter = 0.001 m). And if you see DN15 in Russian documents, this will mean an internal diameter of approximately 15 mm.

Conditional pass- indicates that this is the internal diameter of the pipe, expressed in millimeters - conventionally. The term “Conditionally” indicates that the diameter value is not exact. Conventionally, we assume that it is approximately equal to certain values ​​of the standard.

The nominal bore (nominal size) is understood as a parameter used for pipeline systems as a characteristic of the connected parts, such as pipeline connections, fittings and fittings. The nominal diameter (nominal size) is approximately equal to the internal diameter of the connected pipeline, expressed in millimeters.

According to the standard from: GOST 28338-89 It is customary to choose the numbers that have been agreed upon. And you shouldn’t come up with your own numbers with commas. For example, DN 14.9 would be a designation error.

Nominal diameter approximately equal to the internal diameter of the connected pipeline, expressed in millimeters and corresponding to the nearest value from a series of numbers adopted in the prescribed manner.

These are the numbers:

For example, if the real internal diameter is 13 mm, then we write it as: DN 12. If the internal diameter is 14 mm. then we accept the value DN 15. That is, we select the closest number from the list of the standard: GOST 28338-89.

If in projects it is necessary to indicate both the diameter and thickness of the pipe wall, then it should be indicated as follows: d20x2.2 where the outer diameter is 20 mm. And the internal diameter is equal to the difference in wall thickness. In this case, the internal diameter is 15.6 mm. GOST 21.206–2012

Alas, we have to submit to other people's standards

Any materials imported from abroad were most often developed using a different length dimension: Inch

Therefore, most often the dimensions are oriented to inches. Usually a quotation mark is written in place of the word inch.

1 inch = 25.4 mm. Which is the same 1” = 25.4 mm.

Dimensions table. Usually a quotation mark is written in place of the word inch.

1/2 “ = 25.4 / 2 = 12.7. But in reality, this size of 1/2 “is equal to a passage of 15 mm. More precisely it might be 14.9mm. for steel pipe. In general, dimensions may vary by a few mm. Therefore, in such cases, for accurate calculations, you need to find out the internal diameter of a specific model separately.

For example, size 3/4” = 25.4 x 3/4 = 19 mm. But we write in the documents “conditionally” DN20 - approximately the internal diameter is 20 mm.

Here are the actual sizes that most often correspond to the Russian translation.

The table shows the internal diameter in mm.

Nominal pressure PN: More details in GOST 26349 and GOST R 52720.

Has a unit of measurement: kgf/cm2. The designation kgf means kg x s (kilogram times s). c=1. c characterizes, as it were, a force coefficient. That is, by multiplying a kilogram (mass) by force, we convert mass into force. This is a correction for meticulous physicists. If you designate kg/cm2, in principle you will not be mistaken if you assume that we perceive mass as force. Also, such a unit as kg/cm2 is erroneous in that pressure is formed from two units (force and area). Mass is another parameter. Because the mass only on the surface of the earth creates the force that presses on the earth (gravitational force). Value c=1 on the surface of the earth. And if you fly to another planet, then the force of gravity will be different, and the mass will create a different force. And on another planet the coefficient c=1 will be equal to a different value. For example, c=0.5 will create pressure twice as low.

What is PN for?

The PN value is needed to indicate to the device a pressure limit that cannot be exceeded for normal operation of the device for which this value is set. That is, when designing, the designer must know in advance what maximum pressure the device is designed for.

For example, if the device is given the value PN15, this means that the device is designed for operation with a pressure not exceeding 15 kgf/cm2. Which is approximately equal to 15 Bar.

1 kgf/cm2 = 0.98 Bar. Roughly speaking, the PN value is approximately equal to Bar or atmosphere.

For example, if a device is given a value of PN10, then it is designed for a pressure not exceeding 10 Bar.

Determination of PN according to the standard

The highest excess operating pressure at a working medium temperature of 293 K (20 °C), which ensures a given service life (resource) of valve body parts having certain dimensions, justified by strength calculations for the selected materials and their strength characteristics at a temperature of 293 K (20 °C).

Ball valve (KSh)- general industrial pipeline shut-off valves in the design of which a ball valve made of high-quality steel is used. Modern technologies for the production of sealing materials have given a sharp impetus to the improvement of valve designs, which also made it possible to use ball valves on high-pressure pipelines up to 16 MPa (160 kg/cm). Ball valves with large bore diameters successfully compete with gate valves and butterfly valves, and have found application in the food, agricultural, gas and oil industries. It so happens that this type of shut-off valve is considered one of the most popular pipeline fittings for installers, as it has many advantages.

  • Small construction dimensions - the ball valve is compact, which simplifies installation.
  • The relatively light weight of the valves reduces the load on the pipeline.
  • The speed of controlling the valve shutter is almost one movement.
  • Choice of design options for almost any operating conditions, from steel to stainless steel.
  • Reliable, virtually maintenance-free.

The increased hydraulic resistance of the valve shutter is a little confusing. Steel valves win in this regard, but you must agree - convenient control, compactness, ease of operation, aesthetic appearance, all these factors make ball valves more and more popular among consumers.

Designations of ball valves.

The diameter of ball valves is DN or Dn, this is the standard nominal bore designation generally accepted for shut-off valves. For example, the diameter can reach 1200 millimeters, abbreviated as KSh Du1200. Different countries apply different DN standards. Standard diameters of the most popular ball valves in Russia in millimeters: 6, 10, 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400 ... and up to 1200 . Most used on pipelines KSh DN from 15 to 50 mm.
The nominal pressure of the flow media for a faucet is standardly designated Ru or Pn, for example Ru160 kg/cm or Pn16 MPa.
The type of valve may differ in connection to the pipeline and control of the valve; manufacturers usually designate short designations KSh with an additional letter, for example KShF - flanged ball valve. Well, the full designation looks something like this: KShF Du100 Ru16.

Ball valve catalog

Catalog of ball valves - steel, cold-resistant, stainless steel valves Ru up to 160 kg/cm, by connection, which can be ordered from our company.

The presented types of cranes are available in our company's warehouse at manufacturer prices with certificates and product data sheets.

Steel ball valves

To ensure uninterrupted control of flows on pipelines for different regions of our country, steel taps are manufactured in various climatic versions for installation outdoors, under sheds and indoors. The main versions are U, HL, UHL, the bulk are made by manufacturers from carbon steel St20 to U1, this applies to body parts. Cold-resistant taps are also manufactured - from steel 09G2S, which does not change its properties down to -60 degrees Celsius. Stainless steel taps are made of high-quality stainless steel 12X1810T, and less often, upon special order, they are made of acid-resistant steel.
Our company is a manufacturer and representative of the RosServis steel steering wheel manufacturer. All crane bodies are manufactured in a repairable and non-dismountable version.
The RosService enterprise manufactures steel, two- or three-piece, dismountable, repairable ball valves for pipelines with media pressure up to 16 MPa, DN from 15 to 200 mm. Read more: RosService cranes
The RosService company produces all-welded steel ball valves DN from 15 to 300 mm, PN up to 4.0 MPa, the valve body is manufactured by welding - permanent valves. More details: RosService cranes - markings, general description, materials of main parts.

Steel taps compare favorably in price with analogues made of brass, bronze and other expensive alloys, which has made them popular today for complex installation on designed new pipelines. In addition, by choosing steel taps, you save on your budget. Of course, there is an unfavorable moment - corrosion, but if a steel tap is mounted on a new pipeline and the material is selected according to the materials of the pipeline, then in fact the tap will serve you until the time of dismantling and replacing the pipeline line. The presented steel ball valves comply with Russian GOST standards for connecting parts.

If the acceptable cost of valves is important to you, then the price of steel ball valves is the best option.

Technical characteristics of ball valves

The characteristics of the valves depend on the materials used to manufacture the ball valve parts, compliance with production technologies and the use of modern equipment in production. As a result, the characteristics of materials used are higher, there are more possibilities for operation in the environment and a variety of compositions of flow media. Briefly about the main characteristics of KS for operation in the environment in different climatic conditions, designations: U - moderate climate, HL - moderate and cold, UHL - moderate, cold and acid-resistant. Also, service life depends on the quality and characteristics of the sealing materials of the ball valve and the valve stem.

,Technical differences of ball valves:

  • According to the steel materials from which the body and moving parts of the crane are made - brass, steel, stainless steel, cold-resistant. The main element of the faucet is the ball valve in most types of stainless steel faucets.
  • According to maintainability - dismountable or non-dismountable (all-welded).
  • By aisle - partial bore (reduced) and full bore.
  • For use in the environment - climatic version U, HL, UHL, T.
  • In terms of interaction with working media - water and steam, gas mixtures, acid resistance.

Ball valve control:

  • Manual control - handle or flywheel control element of the tap DN from 15mm.
  • Gear control - a manual gearbox is used to control the valve for ball valves with a diameter of 50 mm or more.
  • KSh with electric drive - for large pipeline diameters, the electromechanical drive of a ball valve DN from 50 to 300 mm allows you to automate the control of flow in the pipeline.
  • KSh with a pneumatic drive - a valve control drive using compressed air.

For your convenience, we suggest using the questionnaire on the characteristics of ball valves on the website - a form for selecting and ordering a ball valve

Ball valve design

Ball valves, regardless of the type of body and connection to the pipeline, have one thing in common in their design and name - this is a valve in the form of a ball in a seat with sealing rings.

  1. The design consists of four main parts.
  2. The fixed part of the ball valve is the body (collapsible or all-welded)
  3. The moving part, the valve valve, is a ball with a passage hole and a control rod.
  4. The sealing elements of the ball valve and stem are rings and gaskets made of fluoroplastic or other sealing material.
  5. Control mechanism - handle or flywheel, gearbox, pneumatic drive or electric drive
