The specification and model of stainless steel ball valve | representation method of stainless steel ball valve model | the compilation and expression of stainless steel ball valve model is mainly divided into seven important elements: valve type, driving mode, connection type, structural characteristics, nominal pressure, sealing surface material, valve body material, etc. Let’s introduce them in details as follows.

1. Specification and model code of ball valve: ball valve-Q

If there is a code in front of Q, it is the additional code of ball valve:
V indicates that the valve core has V-shaped structure. D represents low temperature. B represents thermal insulation. P represents eccentric structure. U, S and DY mostly indicate top mounted type.

2. Code of ball valve transmission mode: common methods are
 
Transmission mode Worm gear Pneumatic Electric Handle handwheel
Code name 3 6 9 No code



3. Code of ball valve connection mode:
 
Connection mode Internal thread Flange Welding Counter clamp Clamp Ferrule
Code name 1 4 6 7 8 9

        
4. Code of ball valve structure type:
 
Structural style Code name Structural style Code name
Straight channel of floating ball valve 1 Straight channel of fixed ball valve 7
Y-shaped tee 2 Four way channel 6    
L-shaped tee 4 T-shaped tee 8    
T-shaped tee 5 L-shaped tee 9    
Hemispherical straight through 0    
 
5. Sealing material code of ball valve:
 
Material Babbitt alloy Enamel Nitriding steel 18-8 series stainless steel Fluoroplastics Glass Cr13 Stainless Steel Rubber lining Monel alloy
Code name     
B
 
C E F G H  J  M
Material Nylon plastics Monel Lead lining Mo2Ti stainless steel Plastic Copper alloy Rubber Cemented carbide Direct machining of valve body
Code name N        P Q R S T X Y W

6. The nominal pressure value of ball valve is directly expressed in Arabic numerals, which is 10 times of MPa. For example: for Q41F-16C, 16 indicates that the pressure is 16KG (1.6Mpa) and the peak can reach 64Mpa. If it is 150LB, it means that the pressure level of peak can reach 2500LB (150LB=1.6MPA/300LB=2.5-4.0mpa/400LB=6.4mpa/600LB=10mpa).
                
7. Valve body material code:
 
body material carbon steel 18-8 series stainless steel Mo2Ti stainless steel Chromium molybdenum steel Gray cast iron Plastic
Code name C        P I Z S
body material Ductile iron Copper and copper alloys        
Code name Q     T
