Contromatics Two Piece Ball Valves

The Contromatics two-piece-construction ball valves are standard port valves that yield optimum performance at a reasonable cost. The same engineering design criteria and safety factors that are utilized in other Contromatics valves for more critical service applications are standard in this general industrial valve. These important safety and performance-related features combine to make the Contromatics two-piece ball valve a truly cost-effective solution to many of today's most demanding chemical, petro-chemical, pulp and paper, textile, OEM and general industrial applications.

Standard Design Features & Benefits

Bottom Entry Stem
As safety is of primary concern, Contromatics utilizes a bottom loaded stem in all ball valves. The stem is retained by a machined shoulder in the body of the valve that mates up to a shoulder on the stem.

Stem Sealing Method
A critical component of any valve is its stem sealing capability. Unlike many of our competitors, at Contromatics we exclusively employ a "packing gland" style stem seal design. The Contromatics stem seal provides a compression force independent from the stem rotation.
Ball Construction
Every Contromatics Industrial valve is of a solid ball construction, which provides structural integrity and reduced flow turbulence not available when "hollow" or formed balls are used.
There is a hole in the stem slot of each ball to equalize pressure between the body cavity and the flow stream. This feature prevents seat damage due to thermal cycling by allowing media trapped within the body cavity (between the outside of the ball and the inside of the body) to expand and re-enter the general flow stream through that drilled hole when the valve is in the open position.
Optional Seat Materials
Contromatics offers a variety of seat materials that are designed to meet the most demanding applications. Each seat material has its own performance characteristics, enabling the user to tailor the valve to a specific application.
A lower operating torque is realized by the use of pressure equalizing seats. The outside diameter of each seat is produced with slots that allow the media to flow around the upstream seat. This equalizes the pressure on both sides of the upstream seat, which results in the reduction of the torque required to operate the valve.
