Valves & Automation

Standard round ported ball valves have been used, and continue to be used, for many control applications such as services involv-ing moderate pressure drops. Now, with the development of Flow-Tek’s characterized V-balls, a full range of control applications is available with superior flow control. These 1/4 turn control ball valves are more com-pact, lighter weight and much less expensive than comparably sized globe valves and segmented control valves offered by other companies. Flow-Tek control valves offer fast response times to control signals due to advanced digital control of actuation and the inherent strengths of ball valves. These valves exceed Class VI offering bubble tight shut off with zero leakage. Other features include superior rangeabiltiy and repeatability, high flow capacity, the ability to function with fluids containing solids and fibers, ease of mainte-nance and exceptional interface with PLCs and computer command signals. Flow-Tek high quality pneumatic and electric control actuators are very durable and efficient.

The Flow-Tek Tank Series ball valves are welded flush to the tank bottom, provid-ing a fast, unrestricted drainage of tank media. The valves are available in a wide selection of seat materials to meet a full range of applications. The Secure Mount integrally cast top flange ensures positive actuator mount-ing. Actuation equipment can easily be removed while the valve is under full line pressure. Flow-Tek’s Interchangeable Family of valves offer advanced design features including interchangeable parts, precision ball, heavy-duty body, Smart Stem, double lock-nut design, safety trigger handle and locking device.

Flow-Tek’s Media Containment Unit has been engineered to provide increased en-vironmental protection and plant safety. In addition to the exceptional primary stem sealing capacity of Flow-Tek’s ball valves, the MCU offers a secondary seal which can be monitored for early detection of stem leaks. The investment cast Stainless Steel unit is highly corrosion resistant and ideal for harsh environments.

Designed for both automated and manual service, the MCU is easily installed in the field onto existing Flow-Tek ball valves. The MCU lowers operating costs by reducing lost production time due to fugitive emissions and unscheduled maintenance.
