Ball valve model preparation method/code name establishment

Ball valve model preparation method/code name establishment in China.
With the rapid development of my country’s industrial modernization, the use of valves is also increasing.  Ball valves have the advantages of fast opening and closing speed, and not only can switch and cut off, but also control flow, etc., and become the most widely used valve type. one! However, due to the wide variety of ball valves, including the use of pressure, temperature and control methods, the corresponding ball valve models are also different. In order to avoid errors in the selection of the user, and to ensure that the ball valve can be used normally, more instruments Self-Control Valve Company hereby provides instructions for the preparation of ball valve models for everyone to understand and recognize!

Ball valve model editing instructions are mainly from the increase of additional conditions of the  ball valve, the selection of the drive mode, the difference of the connection form, the change of the structure form, the type of sealing material, the level of valve pressure and the material of the valve body, etc. to facilitate the explanation, hope It is helpful to the majority of users.
Ball valve model representation method:
Ball valve additional code: V means the valve core has a V-shaped structure, D means low temperature, B means heat preservation, P means eccentric structure, U, S and DY mostly mean top-mounted type;
