Series 44 Ball Valves - FloSource

1 Worcester ControlsFCD WCABR1008-01(Part PB 401) Series 44 ball ValvesThree-piece ball Valves designed to meet all requirements of ANSI ISO 9001 REGISTERED COMPANYFlow Control DivisionWorcester ControlsTHE NEW Series 44A quantum advance in ball valve durability, cyclelife, leak tightness and Worcester Controls Series 44 three-piece ball Valves , formany years the most respected ball valve design in the industry, arenow better than ever. A major research, design, and testing programbrings you a new valve, designed to ANSI specifications withadvanced seal technology and body mount bracket design. Thismeans a very strong, tough valve that can handle pressure andunforseen piping strains with a stem seal that extends operationalcycle life and a standardized overall design that keeps parts inventoryto a minimum. Then there s documentation. means completetraceability of assembly and testing procedures, heat codes, andfoundry identification.

2 Full CMTRs (Certified Material Test Reports) onpressure vessel parts are optionally available. Valve identification isprovided on a stainless steel nameplate meeting MSS PerformanceAn improved stem seal design, consisting of live-loaded PEEK andPolyfill thrust bearings and seals, significantly increases valve cyclelife over conventional ball Valves and extends time between adjust-ments. In manual Valves , the two spring washers are compressed bytwo retaining nuts. A single Nylon-insert locking nut and four springwashers are used on automated Actuator DesignActuators for Worcester s Series 44 three-piece Valves are mountedon rigid, precisely machined, box-style brackets bolted to the valve center section. This brings a number of advantages to the valve user: Actuator loads are on the valve body; Actuators and brackets can be removed for service without affecting valve or piping integrity; Easy access for stem seal adjustment; Inventory simplification.

Features that make this tough, reliable ball valve so uniqueinclude tight shutoff, smooth two-way flow, advanced seatmaterials, a variety of interchangeable end connections, swingaway three-piece construction, and a design ready variety of pipe ends, including socket weld, screw ends, buttweld or any combination of these, enables Series 44 Valves tobe adapted to fit standard and more unusual piping 44 (V67) Valves can also be welded in place, fullyassembled with G graphite-coated 316 stainless steelbody seals and reinforced TFE, Polyfill, or High-per Fill range of Worcester s seat materials is unmatched andincludes Buna, Neoprene, TFE, Reinforced TFE, Polyfill,LubetalTM, High-per Fill and UHMWPE.

6 These seats easily han-dle a great majority of industrial fluids with temperatures from-50 F to +600 F including steam, chemicals, petrochemicals,petroleum products, caustics and fluids containing solids,fibrous or abrasive Control DivisionWorcester ControlsSWING-OUT DESIGN FOR EASY MAINTENANCEThe Series 44 is especially well suited for use in piping systemswhere line breaks are required and total entry into the line isnecessary. The center section can swing out, eliminating theneed to cut a valve out of line and having to replace both thevalve and the pipe. Because of this design, the seats, sealsand ball can all be replaced quickly and easily without disturb-ing pipe alignment. Acting as both a valve and a union, theSeries 44 eliminates the need for a separate SHUTOFF AND BIDIRECTIONAL SEALINGW orcester s three-piece ball Valves are designed to seal bidirectionally against resilient seats.

7 Unique relief slotsassist in downstream sealing and reduce torque. The ball isforced to the downstream side under pressure and forcedagainst the downstream seat to effect and maintain a , the valve will give bubble-tight shutoff through-out a long service life even with seats of relatively non-resilient materials such as TFE or Polyfill. The seats are alsodesigned to perform a wiping action during each cycle cleaning foreign materials off both the seat and ball , assuringleak-tight sealing. The downstream sealing of Worcester s three-piece Valves overcomes the two most common difficulties in the use ofconventional ball Valves : seat damage and high operatingtorque. A hole in the stem slot prevents any possibility ofdamage due to trapped cavity pressure when the ball is optional ball cavity vent is available for specific Worcester design results in smoother, more efficientvalve Control DivisionWorcester Controls4 AUTOMATIONF lowserve Worcester Controls offers a complete line of pneu-matic and electric automation packages for Series 44 electric and pneumatic packages are offered for on/off orproportional options include.
