SOMAS KVTW/KVXW KVTF/KVXF Ball Segment Valve Datasheet

This document describes the specifications and features of the Si-110 EN ball segment valve. The valve can be used for control and shut-off applications with various media, within a wide temperature range. The valve body and shaft device are designed as one piece, allowing for backlash-free torque transmission. The spring-loaded seat is available in three different materials (PTFE, PTFE 53, and HiCo). The eccentrically mounted ball segment reduces wear on the seat and segment. The valve can be equipped with low noise trim. A V-groove design is available for use with high fiber concentrations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between KVTW and KVXW designs?

KVTW has a centrically mounted shaft while KVXW features an eccentrically mounted shaft.

Which design is suitable for liquids containing impurities?

The KVT series (KVTW/KVTF) should be chosen for liquids and media containing impurities.

What is the relationship between Kv and Cv factors?

The capacity factor Kv is calculated as 0.86 times the resistance factor Cv.
