Apollo 765028A spring-loaded ball valve controls the fluid flow and avoids leaks in pipelines. It is useful in the oil & gas, chemical processing and manufacturing industries.
Working Mechanism:
- When the operator turns the handle, the disk inside the valve rotates.
- The disk position permits the fluid flow.
- When fully closed, it stops flow and when fully open, it allows maximum flow.
- It has a spring-return mechanism that returns the handle to its original position (normally open) when the handle is unattended.
Features:
- Apollo spring-loaded ball valve has stainless steel lever handles to aid manual control.
- It has a blow-out-proof stem design that keeps the valve stem from expelling from its body during high-pressure situations.
- This valve has grooved and flared ends for a secure connection.
- It has PTFE components (bearings & seats) to handle corrosive fluid and high temperatures.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between a safety relief valve and a vacuum relief valve?
A. A safety relief valve is designed to release excessive pressure in a system to prevent overpressurisation, while a vacuum relief valve protects against excessive vacuum or negative pressure, ensuring system integrity and preventing damage or implosion due to vacuum conditions.
