CF8 2PC PTFE Seated Flange End 150# Ball Valve FLOVIN

A 2PC flange end ball valve is a type of industrial valve used to control the flow of fluids in pipelines. It is called “2PC” because it consists of two main components: the body and the ball. The “flange end” indicates that the valve is designed with flanges at both ends, which allows for easy installation and connection to the pipeline using bolts and nuts.

Here’s a general description of the main components and features of a 2PC flange end ball valve:

• Body: The valve body is typically made of metal, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or other suitable materials, depending on the application and fluid being handled. It houses the ball and provides the main structure of the valve.
• Ball: The ball is a spherical component with a hole (bore) drilled through it. It is usually made of metal, like the body, and can rotate within the valve to control the flow of fluid. When the bore aligns with the pipeline, it allows fluid to pass through, and when the bore is perpendicular to the pipeline, it stops the flow.
• Flange Ends: As mentioned earlier, the valve has flanges at both ends, which allow for secure and straightforward installation by connecting the valve to the pipeline using bolts and nuts. The size and pressure class of the flanges depend on the specific requirements of the application.
• Actuator Mounting: Some 2PC flange end ball valves come with an actuator mounting pad that allows for easy attachment of an actuator, which can be either manual (hand lever) or automatic (electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic).
• Seats and Seals: The ball valve has seats and seals that provide a tight seal between the ball and the body to prevent leakage when the valve is closed. The seats are usually made of resilient materials, such as PTFE (Teflon), while the seals may be made of materials like O-rings or gaskets.
• Lever or Handle: For manual operation, the valve may come with a lever or handle attached to the ball shaft, allowing users to easily open or close the valve by rotating the ball.

2PC flange end ball valves are commonly used in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, power generation, and industrial processes. They are known for their reliable performance, ease of maintenance, and ability to handle high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Please note that the specific design and features of a 2PC flange end ball valve may vary depending on the manufacturer and intended application. Always refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for detailed specifications and operating guidelines.
