Ball valves: SKV

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SOMAS ball valve type SKV is engineered for the process industry, suitable for both shut-off and control applications over a wide temperature range. It features a flanged design with nominal pressures of PN 50 for DN 25-50 and PN 25 for DN 80-400, constructed from stainless steel.
Specifications:
  • Nominal Size: DN 25-400
  • Material: Stainless steel
  • Body Design: One-piece for DN 25-50, two-piece for DN 80-400
  • Valve Seats: Replaceable without removing the actuator, available in HiCo with locked or scraping design
Features:
  • High capacity with full bore design
  • Excellent tightness at low differential pressure due to spring-loaded seats
  • Two alternative seat materials
  • Hardchrome plated or HiCo coated ball
  • Easy maintenance
Performance Data:
  • Tightness Class: Related to seat ring material, PTFE 53 seat (Code B) and HiCo seat (Code T)
  • Flow Characteristics: 100% flow at 0° to 90° opening angle
  • Pressure and Temperature Rating: Dependent on seat material, with a note to not exceed working pressure
Tables and Charts:
  • Capacity Factor Kv and Resistance Factor ξ: Provides relation between Kv and Cv, and necessary closing torque for different DN sizes
  • Selection Tables: For hand lever and gear unit operations, as well as pneumatic actuators with specifications for low air supply (4 bar) and standard supply (5.5 bar)
Installation and Maintenance: The valves are delivered ready for installation and operation, factory tested with actuators, positioners, and accessories.
Valve Types and Configurations: The SKV ball valves are available with different actuator types, including hand lever, gear unit, and various actuator types like A-DA, A-SC/SO, and SR. The document outlines the weight and dimensions for each configuration.
Flange Standards: The valves are equipped with flanges that can be drilled for different pressure ratings, including PN 40, Class 150/ISO PN 25, and Class 300/ISO PN 50 for smaller sizes, and PN 10, PN 16, and PN 25 for larger sizes.
Seat Design Options: Two alternative seat designs are mentioned: locked seats for applications where media blocks rotary motion, and scraping seats for applications with fluid scaling. A combination of both designs is also possible.
Actuators and Accessories: The valves can be fitted with SOMAS manual, on/off, or control actuators. Additional accessories like positioners, limit switches, and solenoid valves are available. The document mentions the possibility of fitting other types of actuators and accessories as per specifications.
Ordering Information: Instructions for ordering valves are provided, including specifying the valve type, actuator, positioner, and accessories. The document includes a valve specification system to guide the ordering process.
Technical Information: Further technical data on materials, flange standards, and steam data can be found in the SOMAS catalogue, specifically in section 6.

Ball valves: SKV-1

Ball valve Edition: 2012-10 Type SKV Flanged design Material Stainless steel • High capacity - full bore design • Excellent tightness differential pressure • Hardchrome plated or HiCo coated ball SOMAS ball valve type SKV is designed to meet the requirements of the process industry. The valves can be used for shut-off as well as for control applications within a wide temperature range. The valve body is made in one piece for DN 25-50, while DN 80-400 has a 2-piece body. The valve body is split beside the centreline of the shaft. The seats can be replaced without removing the actuator. Valve seats in HiCo are also available in locked- alternatively scraping design or a The SOMAS valves are delivered ready for installation and operation. The valve assemblies are delivered factory tested as complete units with actuators, • Easy maintenance
