Thin Type Ball Valve

Thin Type Ball Valve
Ideal for space-constrained
applications ----- thin ball valves
Thin ball valves are preferred where space constraints and high performance are critical. These valves feature a stylish design that allows seamless installation in confined Spaces while ensuring robust operation. The balls in the thin valves are securely secured in the body using a minimalist connection system. Unlike traditional designs in which the ball floats to achieve a seal, the seat in a thin ball valve moves toward the ball. The upstream pressure mechanism pushes the seat tightly towards the ball, creating an effective seal. Since the ball is held in place and only rotated 90°, it can withstand high fluid force and pressure without being pushed into the seat. Instead, pressure is concentrated around the removable seat, ensuring smooth and consistent performance.

Why choose Lipin Thin Ball Valve

Designed for efficient operation in tight Spaces, thin ball valves offer numerous advantages in a variety of applications. The main reasons for choosing Lipin thin ball valve are as follows:
  • Compact design
    Thin ball valves are ideal for installations where space is limited and for tight piping systems and machinery with minimal clearance.
  • Reduced operating torque
    The slim design reduces the torque required to operate the valve, allowing for smaller, more cost-effective actuators.
  • Enhanced safety features
    Our thin ball valves include an anti-ejection mechanism that prevents the stem from being ejected from the body due to improper operation, resulting in increased operating safety.
  • High quality materials
    We offer a wide range of corrosion and high temperature resistant materials. Our products include not only traditional carbon steel, but also advanced materials such as Inconel and Monel, ensuring durability in harsh conditions.
  • Wide range of applications
    Lipin's thin ball valves are adaptable and suitable for many industries such as natural gas, chemical processing and power generation.
  • Excellent customer support
    Lipin offers a complete range of valve solutions and provides outstanding customer service. We also offer a two-year warranty on our products. Contact us for a customized plan that meets your specific requirements.

Key Components of thin ball valve:

The thin ball valve is composed of several basic components to ensure reliable and efficient performance. These parts work together to maintain optimal function and prevent leaks.
  • Valve body
    Provides structural support and guides medium flow.
  • Fine ball
    The precision design of the ball enables precise flow control, allowing or blocking the passage of media.
  • Stem
    Engages the ball at 90° rotation for fast and efficient opening and closing.
  • Seat
    Moves towards the fine ball to form a firm seal, activated by upstream pressure.
  • Sealing mechanism
    With soft seal and metal seal, can meet various application requirements.
  • Actuators
    Manage the movement of the valve stem to control the fine ball for effective flow regulation.
  • Advantages of

    thin ball valve

    • 01
      Space-saving design
      The streamlined construction of the thin ball valve makes it ideal for installation in tight Spaces without compromising performance.
    • 02
      Effective pressure management
      This design helps to regulate the pressure in the valve chamber to ensure safety when handling liquid media.
    • 03
      Adjustable stem
      The stem can be extended or adjusted to meet specific installation and operating needs, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including buried pipelines in urban gas systems.
    • 04
      Smooth operation
      Thin ball valves with low friction bearings and self-lubricating characteristics operate with minimal torque, ensuring smooth operation even without additional lubrication.
    • 05
      Reliable sealing
      Advanced sealing technology provides a firm seal for the stem, with the option of graphite packing and sealing grease to minimize leaks and increase safety, especially in high-risk environments.

    Why choose thin ball valve?

    Thin ball valves are designed for efficient pressure management, effectively distributing pressure across the seat. This design ensures a firm seal between the seat and the body, preventing erosion by high speed media. When fully opened or closed, the sealing surface is not directly exposed to the medium, thus increasing durability and service life. Choose thin ball valves for reliable, space-saving and safe performance in a variety of applications.

    About Lipin Thin type Ball Valve

    • Valve Body Type :
      Ball
    • Valve body material:
      Cast WCB carbon steel (general application), forged A105 carbon steel (general application), 304/316 stainless steel, alloy (corrosion resistance, extreme conditions), etc.
    • Valve stem material:
      When the valve body material is ordinary carbon steel, the valve stem material is usually CR13 series martensitic stainless steel (American standard 410 and 420 stainless steel materials) or higher-grade austenitic stainless steel materials. When the valve body material is stainless steel, the valve stem material is usually austenitic stainless steel (American standard SS304, SS316) with a grade no lower than the valve body material and a higher grade corrosion-resistant alloy material (Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel alloy) etc.
    • Valve ball material:
      The valve stem material is basically the same as the valve ball, plus carbon steel electroplating ENP anti-corrosion material, unless there are special requirements.
    • Seat material:
      The metal-sealed metal valve seat and fixed soft-sealed valve seat support ring of the ball valve should be made of the same material as the ball.
    • Seat sealing surface material:
      The valve seat material is basically the same material as the ball, except for special requirements.
    • Pressure level:
      Class 150-2500(ASME standards)or PN10~PN420
    • Actuator:
      Manual handwheel, electric actuator, pneumatic actuator, hydraulic actuator
    • Size:
      1/2'' to 60'' (DN 15-1500)
    • Temperature:
      Depending on the material used, operation can occur within a temperature range of -50°C to +400°C, although specific materials may alter this range.
