Ball Valve Model Number Codes
The ball valve model code is Q, so when you see a valve model starting with Q, you can basically be sure it's a ball valve. Let's take Q947F-16P as an example to introduce the meaning represented by each part of the complete ball valve model number.
According to the description of the valve preparation method, we analyze Q947F-16P:.
q stands for ball valve;
9 means the drive mode is electric. In addition, the commonly used drive modes are handle drive (code ignored), worm gear code 3, pneumatic code 6, hydraulic code 7 and so on.
4 represents flange connection. In addition, common ball valve connection methods include 1 female threaded connection, 2 male threaded connection, 6 welded, 7 snap connection and so on.
7 represents fixed ball straight through. In addition, other common ball valve structures include 1 float through, 4 float tee y, 5 float tee t, 6 fixed ball tee, and so on.
f indicates that the sealing surface material is PTFE. in addition, other common sealing surface materials for ball valves include H stainless steel, N nylon plastic, Y carbide, W body seal, J fully lined with rubber, F46 fully lined with FEP, and so on.
16 represents the pressure rating, with a nominal pressure of 16 kg (1.6 MPa);
P valve body material code for 304 stainless steel. In addition, other common ball valve body materials include Q ductile cast iron, C carbon steel, R stainless steel 316, T copper and copper alloys, and I chrome molybdenum steel.
Common Models of Ball Valves
There are many types of ball valves, and each ball valve model is different. Commonly used ball valve models are:
Stainless steel flanged ball valve: Q41F/H, Q341F/H, Q641F/H, Q941F/H, Q347F/H, Q647F/H, Q947f/h.
Stainless steel threaded ball valve: Q11F/H, Q21F/H
Welded ball valves: Q61F/H, Q361F/H, Q367F/H and Q961F/H
