CF8M 1PC PTFE Seated Flange End 150# Ball Valve FLOVIN

A 1PC flange end ball valve is a type of industrial valve used for controlling the flow of fluids in pipelines. Unlike the 2PC ball valve mentioned earlier, the 1PC ball valve consists of a one-piece body design, which means the valve body is manufactured as a single integrated piece, including the flanges at both ends. This construction provides a more compact and streamlined design compared to the two-piece variant.

Here’s a general description of the main components and features of a 1PC flange end ball valve:

• Body: The valve body is a single-piece component that is usually made of metal, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or other suitable materials depending on the application and the fluid being handled. The one-piece design provides enhanced structural integrity and reduces potential leakage points.
• Ball: Similar to the 2PC valve, the ball in a 1PC flange end ball valve is a spherical component with a hole (bore) drilled through it. The ball 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: The valve features integral flanges at both ends of the one-piece body. These flanges allow for easy installation and connection to the pipeline using bolts and nuts. The size and pressure class of the flanges are determined based on the specific requirements of the application.
• Actuator Mounting: Just like the 2PC variant, some 1PC flange end ball valves come with an actuator mounting pad that allows for easy attachment of an actuator for automatic operation. Manual operation with a lever or handle is also possible, depending on the specific design.
• Seats and Seals: The 1PC ball valve includes seats and seals to ensure a tight seal between the ball and the body, preventing leakage when the valve is closed. The seats are typically made of resilient materials like PTFE (Teflon), while the seals may be made of materials like O-rings or gaskets.

1PC flange end ball valves are commonly used in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, chemical, water treatment, HVAC, and general industrial applications. They are favored for their compact design, reduced leak points, and ease of maintenance.

It’s essential to consider the specific application requirements and the manufacturer’s guidelines when selecting and operating a 1PC flange end ball valve to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
