In the closed position the pressure of the fluid presses the ball against the seal, further ensuring the integrity of the seal. In principle, the higher the pressure, the better the seal
Reliability
- the ball is sealed on both sides by graphite impregnated rilsan seals which are supported by perbunan compensating “O” rings. This ensures that the seal remains in contact with the ball at all times thus
extending the life of the ball valve by preventing leakage should seal wear occur.
- the stem is firmly secured within a square insert on the ball and is sealed by an “O” ring.
In order to meet industry’s requirements, Legris offers 3 other series of ball valves in addition to its standard range
- light series, for low pressure applications
- teflon series, for maximum working pressure
- stainless steel series, for use with corrosive fluids and aggressive environments
