Features & Benefits

Three-Piece Ball Valves

Three-piece ball valves comprise of
a body and two connectors. These
valves are available in a variety of
end connections such as socket
weld, screwed and flanged.
The valves are designed to be
serviced inline. The middle section
(body) that houses the ball, seat
and stem can be rotated away from
the pipeline axis for service, after
three body-connector bolts are
removed. This allows quick
replacement of seats, seals, etc.
without disturbing the pipe
alignment.
Single-Piece Ball Valves
Single-piece ball valves have a onepiece body and a threaded insert.
The integrally-flanged valves are
offered in regular bore.
The inserts in L&T single-piece ball
valves are provided with a
hexagonal slot for easy removal.
Two-Piece Ball Valves
Two-piece ball valve are split body
valves where the body and
connector are bolted together.
These full bore valves are offered
with flanged ends.
Mirror-Finished Solid Ball
The balls used in L&T ball valves are
mirror-finished to ensure bubbletight sealing and lower operating
torques. Further the stainless steel
balls of solid construction possess
higher corrosion resistance as well
as structural strength.
A pressure-equalizing hole provided
on the ball connects the body cavity
and the ball port. This prevents
build up of cavity pressure when
the valve is in open position.

PTFE Seat with Slots

PTFE seats used in L&T ball valves
are manufactured in a controlled
process that ensures a finer grain
structure and longer service life.

When the valve is in the closed

position, upstream pressure can
force the upstream seat against the
ball. This can cause damage to the
seats as well as increase operating
torques. In L&T ball valves slots are
provided in the seats to relieve
upstream pressure to ensure that
the upstream seat does not get
forced against the ball.
Fire-Safe Feature
L&T fire-safe ball valves, available in
three-piece, single-piece and twopiece designs, feature a secondary
metal seat. In the event of a fire, if
the soft-seat is totally sublimated,
the ball moves and abuts the metal
seat on the body/ connector on the
downstream side to form a leaktight seal.
Cavity Pressure Relief
A slight increase in temperature of
the fluid entrapped in the ball
cavity can cause a rapid increase of
pressure and damage the ball and
seats. L&T ball valves are provided
with a pressure relief mechanism
that prevents build up of excessive
pressure inside the ball cavity.
In the closed condition when the
cavity pressure increases above a
designated level, the seat lip
deflects and relieves pressure to the
upstream side.

Features & Benefits

In the open condition, the hole in

the ball that connects the body
cavity and the ball port prevents
build up of cavity pressure.
Blow-out Proof Stem
The bottom-entry stem in all L&T
ball valves have a shoulder that
bears against a matching shoulder
in the body to make it blow-out
proof. In this design, the higher the
line pressure, the better the sealing
to atmosphere.

Device

Leak Tight Stem Sealing

Stem sealing is further enhanced by
stem thrust seal and stem packing
rings. The Belleville springs provided
ensure sealing integrity by
compensating for wear and thermal
expansions.
Antistatic Feature
When the valve is operated, the ball
rubs against the non-metallic seats
and this can create static electricity.
Build up of static electricity can
create a potential fire hazard
especially with flammable media.
All L&T ball valves have inbuilt
antistatic features for proper
grounding of the charge generated.
Full bore valves of size DN 65 and
above and regular bore valves of
size DN 80 and above are provided
with spring-loaded plungers
between the stem and the body for
full mechanical antistatic capability.
In valves of smaller sizes, electrical

continuity is achieved using 35%

carbon filled PTFE thrust seal and
stem packing.
Actuator Mounting Flange
L&T single-piece and two-piece ball
valves are provided with an integral
actuator mounting flange
conforming to ISO 5211 (Please
note that full bore valves in sizes
DN 15 to DN 25 would be supplied
with flanges as per L&T's
manufacturing standard)
End Connection Identification
L&T three-piece ball valves are
supplied with socket weld, screwed
and flanged ends. To make
identification easier grooves are
provided on the distinctive
octagonal body connectors - one
groove for socket weld ends, two
grooves for valves with screwed
ends - NPT threads and no grooves
for valves with screwed ends - BSPT
threads
