Rising Stem Ball Valves (RSBV) are used extensively in the oil and gas industry in applications that require very tight sealing and / or the medium may have some solids inside that could potentially damage the seat of a standard Ball Valve.
Rising Stem Ball Valves are known for their versatility. Here are some of their advantages:
Self-Cleaning – when the ball deviates from the seat, fluid flows full-circle around the sealing surface to rinse impurities.
Dual Stem – the stem guide grooves slide seamlessly along a rigid guide pin to adeptly control the lifting and rotation actions of the stem itself.
Anti-Abrasion – the ball surface is hardened to be able to handle even the most severe media.
Rising Stem Ball Valves utilise a tilt-and-turn principle which removed friction. Friction – or “rubbing” – is the main cause of wear and tear or valve failure in most Ball Valve applications. If you require additional information on how Rising Stem Ball Valves operate, talk to a Valve and Process expert so you get the right valve for your application.
Rising Stem Ball Valves are used for applications that that require zero leakage and can operate across a wide range of temperatures. They’re designed to not create friction and are used in various applications such as solvents, acids, natural gas and other similar liquids.
Rising Stem Ball Valves are often used in natural gas applications because of their ability to withstand extreme temperatures. They’re also used in steel mill plants and pulp and paper industry applications.
For more tips on the use, service and maintenance of Rising Stem Ball Valves, contact a Winnellie Valves expert or sign up for one of our many different valve and process training courses.
It’s always best practice to have a qualified technician install your valves for industrial applications. However, if you want to be able to install a Pinch Valve yourself, contact a valve expert to guide you through the process. Winnellie Valves and Process also provide valve training courses for all types of valves.
