Product catalog summary
Overview: This document is a datasheet for SOMAS ball segment valves, focusing on types KVTW/KVXW (wafer design) and KVTF/KVXF (flanged design). It covers specifications, applications, options, and features.
Specifications:
  • Design Types: KVTW/KVXW are wafer designs; KVTF/KVXF are flanged designs.
  • Nominal Pressure: PN 25/20/16/10.
  • Nominal Size: DN 80 - 500.
  • Material: Stainless steel.
  • Shaft Design: Centrically or eccentrically mounted shafts.
  • Seat Materials: PTFE, PTFE 53, and HiCo.
Applications: Suitable for control and shut-off applications across various media types and temperature ranges. KVT type is recommended for liquids and media with impurities, while KVX type is better for dry and clean media due to its eccentric design that reduces wear.
Options and Features:
  • Low Noise Trim (LN): Reduces noise and cavitation damage by splitting the pressure drop across the valve.
  • V-Groove Design: Suitable for high fibre concentrations to prevent dewatering at small opening angles.
  • Actuators and Accessories: Valves are delivered with actuators, positioners, and accessories, ready for installation.
Performance Data:
  • Capacity Factors: Provided for various DN sizes and opening angles, indicating flow characteristics.
  • Tightness Class: Depends on seat material, with PTFE and PTFE 53 rated at EN 60534-4 VI, and HiCo at IV or V.
Installation and Maintenance: Designed for easy maintenance and excellent tightness irrespective of differential pressure. Factory-tested and delivered as complete units.
Ordering Information: Customers should specify the desired valve type, actuator, positioner, and accessories when ordering. Includes a valve specification system for reference.
Additional Specifications:
  • Valve Types: Includes KVTW, KVXW, KVMW, KVTF, KVXF, and KVMF, differentiated by mounting and noise levels.
  • Materials: Valve bodies made from materials like 1.4435, CF8M, and 1.4409, with options for hard chromed or HiCo coatings. Ball segments and seats made from materials like PTFE and 1.4539.
  • Designs: Available in wafer and flanged designs, with specific materials and coatings for different components.
Procedures:
  • Actuation: Operated using pneumatic actuators with options for double acting or spring return mechanisms. Manual overrides available with hand levers or gear units.
Standards and Recommendations:
  • Pressure Ratings: Rated for different pressures, typically 5.5 bar and 4 bar, depending on actuation method and valve size.
  • Valve Sizes: Specifies valve sizes (DN) and corresponding pressure ratings for different actuation methods.
Selection Table: Provides a detailed comparison of valve types, actuation methods, and pressure ratings, aiding in the selection of appropriate valves for specific applications.

Datasheet Ball segment valve Si-110 EN Edition: 2012-07 Type KVTW/KVXW Wafer design Type KVTF/KVXF Flanged design Nominal pressure PN 25/20/16/10 Nominal size DN 80 - 500 Material Stainless steel and • Control-valve shut-off • High capacity • One-piece shaft gives a torque transmission free of backlash • Excellent tightness irrespective of differential pressure • Easy maintenance Option The SOMAS ball segment valve type KVTW with a centrically mounted shaft, and KVXW with an eccentrically mounted shaft are of wafer design. Type KVTF is a flanged version with centrically mounted shaft while KVXF is flanged and eccentric design. The valve body is in one piece. Shaft device is also in one piece for torque trans­ ission m free of backlash. The spring-loaded seat is available in three alternative materials (PTFE, PTFE 53 and HiCo). The valves can be used for control, as well as for shut-off applications on practi­ ally c every type of media within a wide temperature range. Choose KVT for liquids, media containing impurities etc. For dry and clean media choose KVX. In the KVX-valve the ball segment is eccentrically mounted and rotates out from the seat when the valve is opened. This reduces the wear on seat and segment. Low noise trim is available as an option. The designation “LN” indicates that the ball seg­ ent is equipped with a network of bars that are used to split up the pressure drop m across the valve. This results in less pressure recovery, thereby reducing the noise and potential damage due to cavitation. Note! Capacity factors will be reduced for valves with LN-trim. • KVM-ballwith segment V-groove for high fibre concentrations • LN Noise) (Low Ball segment with low noise trim for high ∆P Ball segment with V-groove is available for use at high fibre concentrations. The V-groove design prevents dewatering at small opening angles. The SOMAS valves are delivered ready for installation and operation. The valve assem­ blies are delivered factory tested as complete units with actuators, positioners and accessories.
