Double Block & Bleed – Floating Type
All BEPL ball valves is based on the “floating ball “ principle which allows the ball to turn freely between the ball seals. A positive seal is attained by fluid pressure acting on the upstream surface of the ball and producing a constant uniform contact between the downstream ball seal and the ball.
The ball is operated by a sealed spindle with a projecting square end to which the control handle or optional actuator is attached. Ball valves are intended to be used as on / off flow control devices and are not to be used to throttle fluid flow. The valves should always be either fully open or fully closed.
