Sanitary ball valve VS ordinary ball valve
Nov 20, 2022| Sanitary Ball Valve
What is a ball valve?
Ball valve refers to the valve whose opening and closing part (ball) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the valve stem. Ball valves are mainly used to cut off or connect pipeline media, and can also be used for fluid regulation and control. The most notable feature of the ball valve is the fast speed of full opening and full closing. ball valve
What is a Sanitary Ball Valve?
The sanitary ball valve is made of stainless steel 304SS or 316, adopts standard electronic polishing technology, the surface is smooth to ensure cleanness, and there is no medium accumulation area, which can meet the special requirements of bhario f for various media. Sanitary valves with smooth, seamless, self-draining process flow paths are also ideal for steam clean-in-place needs. According to engineering conditions, sanitary valves can be connected in the form of threads, flanges, welding, clamps, clamps, etc.
The sanitary ball valve adopts an integrated ball seat design, which solves the problem of liquid retention in the inner cavity of the ball valve and is suitable for biomedical engineering. The stem of the sanitary ball valve adopts a fully sealed design, which has a long life and low torque, and can be used for a long time at high temperature. Regardless of the connection method, the body of the sanitary ball valve can be replaced.
The difference between sanitary ball valve and ordinary ball valve
* Body material
Sanitary ball valves can only use 304SS, 304L or 316, 316L stainless steel as the valve body material, and special treatment is required after production and processing. The materials that can be used for industrial valves include cast iron, cast steel, ductile iron, stainless steel, etc., so the material of the valve body is more extensive.
Sanitary valves are used in environments that require a high level of hygiene, such as pharmaceuticals, food, daily chemicals, etc., and these products are edible or directly in contact with the human body, so some production machinery requires very high hygiene conditions . The valve body materials of ordinary valves such as iron and copper cannot meet the above hygienic conditions.
*appearance
Sanitary ball valves are electronically polished as standard for a smooth surface ensuring cleanliness and no areas for media build-up, thereby avoiding potential contamination. Industrial valves generally develop models according to needs, mainly for valves with high ambient temperature, high vibration, long service life and flexible operation. Industrial ball valves are not as smooth and beautiful as sanitary ball valves in appearance and interior, but they cannot be replaced by sanitary ball valves in many places.
* Connection method
Sanitary ball valves generally use clamp-type quick connections and threaded connections; while industrial ball valves are connected by flanges, threads, quick installation, welding, etc.
