API 6D Pipeline Rising Stem Orbit Ball Valve

API 6D Pipeline Rising Stem Orbit Ball Valve

    The YFL API 6D pipeline rising stem orbit ball valve adopts special stem to make the ball rotate after separated from valve seat so that there is no abrasion between ball and seat when operate the valve. Therefore it has much lower operate torque and longer service life. It is suitable for harsh service containing solid particle, sand, short fiber, pulp, slurry etc. and high speed fluid which erode the ball and seat hardly.

    The YFL top entry orbit ball valve also adopts top entry design to make the maintenance can be made online without dismantling from the pipeline.

  • Features
  • Specification

  • The Ball of the YFL pipeline orbit ball valve rotates after separated from seat without any abrasion between ball and seat and solve the seat abrasion problem of traditional ball valve, gate valve and plug valve;
  • The YFL API 6D orbit ball valve adopts single seat design to ensure bidirectional seal with zero leakage and solves the problem of pressure increased in the cavity of valve with double seats;
  • Much longer serve life and less breakdown time than traditional ball valve, gate valve, plug valve duo to no abrasion between ball and seat;
  • Much lower operate torque duo to no abrasion between ball and seat, except for large size valve, small handwheel is enough to operate the valve, and gearbox is no need;
  • Best flow characteristic with high Cv value minimizes the corrosion problem;
  • Top entry design realizes maintenance online and reduces breakdown time;
  • When the ball separated from the seat, the fluid can pass through completely and wash out the residue bonded on the ball surface by 360° around to achieve self-cleaning and reduces the impact on part of the seat by high speed fluid;
  • The stem guide groove and double guide pins control the rising, falling and rotating of stem and the bevel at the bottom of stem can supply mechanical wedge force to press the ball to the seat to achieve tight seal without influence by pressure difference of pipeline;
  • Ball sealing face is overlaid by Nickel-based alloy, Hastelloy or other alloy to ensure the tightness and service life in the harshest working condition;
  • Fire safe, automatic anti-static and anti-blowout stem design;
  • When turns the handwheel anticlockwise, the stem rises and the ball separates from seat first and then rotates by 90°without abrasion until full opening position while the stem is lifted to the highest position;

  • When turns the handwheel clockwise, the stem falls and the ball rotates by 90° without abrasion until full closing position. Then keep on turning the handwheel for a few rounds, the bevel at the bottom of stem can press the ball to the seat tightly to achieve reliable seal.
