Factors Influencing Longevity of Ball Valve Gearbox

The chemical, gas, and oil processing industries use process systems with balls to handle fluids and gases. Since ball valves require less maintenance, they are meant to be replaced rather than repaired. However, by taking important measures, the lifespan of the ball valves can be extended, which is determined by lots of factors.<br>Learn more about the factors influencing longevity of ball valve gearbox.<br>

  1. Factors That Impact the Lifespan of Ball Valve Gearbox =============================== A ball is designed to handle fluid and gas in a process system servicing the chemical, gas, and oil processing industries. The ball valves are mainly intended to be replaced rather than repaired, as they are designed to be maintenance-free. However, the life of the ball valves can be increased by taking significant preventive measures. The life expectancy of the ball valve depends on certain factors.Let's look closely at the factors impacting its longevity. •Design Ball valves are structured in one-, two-, or three-piece designs. The first two require replacement as they do not allow maintenance. However, the three-piece ball valves are designed to easily replace or remove the seals and center section of the ball valves. The cost of replacing the is lower than the overall cost of an acute ball valve assembly. •Actuation Ball valve gearboxes are generally powered manually, but other valves can also be operated through automatic actuators. Between electric (motorized), hydraulic (fluid-powered), and pneumatic (air- powered), you can choose the type of actuation based on your system's intended cycle speed. Choose a valve designed for serviceability to maintain a valve in your application. The ball valves shall require more replacement than the actuator because the actuator generally lasts the lifespan of multiple ball valves. •Temperature and Pressure Rating It is vital to consider the valve media pressure and temperature to determine suitability. The temperature and pressure rating influence the valve seal materials and design that should be used. The ball valve demands more frequent replacement when the specific valve medium is closer to the upper limits of the ball valve's rating. Also, if the valve is cycled (turned on or off) infrequently, the ball valve is close to the temperature and pressure rating used in the application and may last for years.

  2. •Valve Materials The media majorly determines the suitable material for your ball valve: the type of gas or liquid flowing through the valve. Ball valves can be made of PVC, brass, bronze, or stainless steel. The material of both the seals and valve body must be compatible with the pressure and temperature ratings and the chemical makeup of the media that flow through the valve. Conclusion Viral Industries, a renowned gearbox valve manufacturer, specializes in producing ball valve gearboxes with high-quality and reliable performance.
