CONTROL VALVES
V-Port & V-Ball Valves
V-Port and V-Ball valves offer a viable alternative to other valve types including globe valves,
which tend to be large, expensive and cannot always guarantee bubble-tight shut-off.
Habonim's V-design provides the high rangeability and precision throttling required for
clean or dirty liquids and gases, as well as fibrous suspension applications. The streamlined flow
passage allows for high recovery, maximum efficiency and excellent erosion resistance. Balls
come in a variety of slot shapes and can be custom designed to meet any control requirement.
Superior control performance and accuracy is designed into the geometry of the downstream
V-port. The precision laser cut ‘V’ shape enables equal percentage flow characteristics, while the
‘slot’ design provides linear flow characteristics downstream.
V-Port
Extremely high performance is achieved with Habonim’s V-Port valve assembly, comprised
of a ball and laser cut metal seat, lapped together into a single seamless component. Both the
ball and metal seat are surface treated and hard coated (LTPN-standard) to resist abrasion and
galling. A nitride coating is applied as standard by a thermo-chemical diffusion process that
transforms the outer base-metal layer of the ball and seat to a hard matrix. A standard profile
seat located upstream maintains the preload of the floating ball and metal seat downstream.
The end result is a superior control valve, with bubble-tight factory-tested shut-off, exceeding
ANSI FCI 70-2 class VI. The V-Port design is applicable for rugged environments such as steam
control with a maximum pressure drop of 20 bar (290 psi), high differential pressure maximum
pressure drop of 35 bar (507 psi), and abrasive media. If control characteristics need to be
modified, then changes are also made to the complete ball seat assembly (marked under
the same part number).
V-Ball
This control valve solution is suited for less demanding control applications, such as clear
liquid at a maximum pressure drop of 6 bar (87 psi), or clean gas at a maximum pressure
drop of 10 bar (145 psi), and temperatures of 120 °C (248 °F)max. The design, comprised
of a floating characterized ball mounted between two seats, maintains a trim preload and
bubble-tight shut-off. The V-Ball exerts low torque, making it suitable for smaller actuators
that reduce weight and space and are more cost-efficient. V-Balls come in a variety of ‘V’ and
‘slot’ shapes, and can be custom designed to meet any control requirement. The V-Ball is
available in a wide range of high-alloy materials and coatings for highly corrosive applications.
