CONTROL VALVES
Design simplicity
Converting a standard Habonim quarter-turn ball valve into an accurate and efficient flow
control V-ball valve is equivalent to a routine maintenance procedure. Habonim provides a
conversion kit that adapts standard valves to flow control operations. The kit includes a V-Ball
with a high tensile, tight tolerance stem and a , hard wearing stem seal and thrust bearing, plus
seat and seal materials that are suitable for the most demanding flow control operations.
Zero seat leakage
Habonim control valves undergo meticulous machining and stringent factory testing to
ensure bubble-tight shut-off for zero leakage. Leak-tight operation is provided by one of two
characterized flow control options. The V-Port option is comprised of a characterized metal
seat lapped-in with the ball for a perfect fit, and aided by an upstream spring effect soft-seat,
for positive preload. The V-Ball option uses a configuration of two soft-seats.
Both ‘V’ options ensure zero leakage in the most demanding applications and across a wide
range of temperature and pressure requirements. Other valve types, such as globe valves, have
been proven completely ineffective in providing bubble-tight shut off without a secondary
shut- off valve assembly.
Smaller size - less weight
Habonim's streamlined design dissipates less energy and hence has a higher flow coefficient
(Cv) compared with other valve designs such as the tortuous globe valve design). This means
that Habonim’s smaller size ball valve can be used to handle the same flow as the larger size
globe valve.
An entire flow system comprised of smaller valves doing the same job as larger ones will
require less space on the line, will weigh less and will provide a more cost efficient and
maintenance friendly solution.
