Three Way Ball Valve

Three way ball valves are suitable for use on various kinds of pipelines of Class150~Class300,for switching,
dividing, and combining medium flow,of which the operation manners include manual, worm gear,pneumatic or
electric actuators,connection manners are in general of flanges. As required by customers,the other type
of connection is available too.
Application
Structure And Features
L type three way ball valve is used for pipelines to switch the flow direction, being able to swi t ch on
two fl ow l i nes perpendi cul ar wi th each other. T type three way bal l val ve,may be used to divide,
combine or switch the flow direction. T type ball passage is able to switch on three flow lines or switch on
two of the three flow lines. T type ball valve may realize two , three or four seats of the functions, however,
the specific valve design must draw a distinction between them to realize different function.In this respect,
as selecting and ordering by customers, it is necessary to describe in detail the application requirement
so as for ARITA to make correct design and fitting. Regarding the general floating three way ball valve, it is
unsuited to be used for certain working conditions, which must be made clear to the customers for making
right selection. There are many kinds of three way ball valves with unique designs made by ARITA to meet
customers special working conditions and requirement. For the common three way ball valves, ARITA adopts
in general the design of two seats. As required by customers, ARITA can also design and manufacture the
three way ball valves with four seats.

Three way ball valve with four seats features the top entry ball design with four seats, which posseses more
reliable tightness functions. However, valve size gets bigger, including the ball, and the design sounds a bit
complicated.
Other Structure Of Three Way Ball Valve And Features
Except for manufacture of general L type and T type three way ball valves, ARITAhas developed a couple of
designs of three way ball valve, which is able to satisfy customers different requirement.

Three Way Ball Valve
Half-ball seat three way ball valve is of the design of trunnion ball valve, being impact
in structure.And unable to have mediumdeposition or dirty in the body cavity. As per
customers different requirement,the ball valve may be designed as the front ball
tightness or behind ball tightness. Half-ball three way ball valve may adopt soft seats
sealing structure(sealing material of PTFE,PPL,nylon and carbon fibre etc.),and metal
to metal sealed structure as well.
Temperature protection jacket three way ball valve employs the design of
one piece body,being impact in structure and excellent in temperature
protection effect.As per customers requirement,the structure may be of L
type three way and T type three way design.
The ball and seat of metal to metal sealed three way ball valve are employing
advanced techniques of nickel base alloy spray welding (of which hardness being
! HRC60), ultra-sonic stellite spray coating(max. hardness of HRC75, and specially
hardening treatment etc., featuring reliable tightness and longer service life,being
particularly used for the mediumwith ash dregs and solid particles. Application
temperature of general products is 200 .As specially ordering,application
temperature may reach 425 (carbon Steel) or 540 (S.S. , CrMo steel, CrMo V
steel).
