Gas And Oil Industry use RSBV to Avoid Process Contamination And Leakage
Ball valves are capable of guiding, controlling, modulating and directing the flow of substances. Also referred to as shut-off valves, they are operated with a simple 90-degree turn of a sphere-shaped obstructor. They are the most common valve types used in residential plumbing and industrial purposes. Most of its industrial applications include protection from leaks. Based on their body arrangement, ball valves are classified into side entry type, three-way or four-way, top entry and rising stem type. Ball valves are favored in the oil industry due to their ability to create a tight shut-off in both gas and liquid applications. Among its different types, Rising Stem Ball Valve or RSBV offers a fast, low torque operation and long-term reliable performance. In RSBV , the stem is embedded in the seal so that both sides do not touch each other. This minimizes friction and as a result, reduces uneven wear and tear of the seat. These valves are primarily used in the oil and gas and pet...
