Resilient-seated ball valves-6

VELAN MemoryseaL BALL VALVE TECHNOLOGY TM Velan concave-convex flexible, in-tension seats with induced sealing memory Before assembly SEALING MEMORY The Velan sealing memory is induced into the seats during the assembly process. When the ball is inserted into the valve body during assembly, it partially flattens the seat, creating a tensile stress in the center of the seat. As a result, the seat core increases in diameter from D1 to D2 and, like a stretched elastic band, pushes against the ball. This ensures reliable sealing even at vacuum or low pressures. SEAT STRENGTH A seat in-tension is...
