What components make up a split-body ball valve?

2025-06-25

What components make up a split-body ball valve?This particular valve is a three-piece #forged steel ball valve, consisting of the main valve body and two end caps (left and right). The valve body is forged from A105 carbon steel, while WCB is cast. In terms of density and pressure resistance, forging is generally stronger and more reliable than casting. For flammable and explosive media such as natural gas, choosing a forged valve body is a much safer option. As you can see, the left and right bodies are connected to the main valve body by flanges and bolts. During assembly, sealing components such as sealing rings, graphite gaskets, and O-rings are installed to ensure leak-tightness. The material of the sealing ring is selected based on the actual working conditions. This stainless steel ball is the closure element, also known as the ball or valve core, and it plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of the medium. Here is the valve stem, which connects the ball to the actuator or handle. In the next video, I’ll show you how to assemble the valve step by step.

Why can we confidently say our butterfly valves have a service life of over one

How Did We Solve the Challenge of Operating Valves in Hard-to-Reach Locations?

2025-05-21

In 2016, during a chemical plant fire, a critical valve was located in a hard-to-reach area surrounded by intense flames. It took three dangerous attempts before Liu Xinhui successfully shut it off—a moment he still vividly remembers. Valves are crucial for controlling material flow during emergencies. If not closed in time, they can cause continuous leaks, spreading fires, and even explosions.#Manual valve operation is time-consuming and risky, especially in high-temperature, toxic, and low-visibility environments. Inspired by a chainsaw repair, the R&D team designed a portable electric valve actuator. Combining chain, gear, and power tool features, the device offers: Fully enclosed design with corrosion-resistant, high-strength materials Precision gears for smooth power transmission Compact and stable structure Lightweight design with enhanced adaptability Overload protection and auto shut-off in case of valve jamming Despite limited resources and outdated equipment, the team overcame challenges and successfully built the tool using repurposed materials. The actuator is suitable for globe valves up to DN400 and can open a valve in just one minute—four times faster than manual operation. Proven effective in the field, the tool is easy to carry, fast, accurate, and reduces rescue workers' exposure to danger. Looking ahead, Jilin Petrochemical plans to expand its use to larger valves, adopt advanced materials and lithium battery technology, and integrate explosion-proof designs to ensure safe operation in hazardous environments.
