Chemline Plastics has introduced the SM Series metering ball valve, designed for fine linear flow control of chemicals or clean fluids such as water. The ball is solid with a graduated V-groove cut on the outside surface.
Precise linear flow control is accomplished through the 0o-to-180o rotation of the handle in 5o increments. The many fine flow-control applications include pressure washing systems, aquatic life support/fisheries research and many others.
The SM Series includes high-end ball valve features such as: full blocking design, double stem O-rings for safety, and 1,585 kPa rating for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Low stem torques are achieved through Chemline’s floating ball design and cushioned PTFE seats. This valve is also bidirectional for precise flow control in both directions. A positioning electric actuator makes the SM Series a cost-effective control valve.
SM Series ball valves come in sizes from 1.25 to 2.50 cm with threaded, socket, butt or ChemFlare ends. The body is available in either PVC or polypropylene, and O-rings can be either EDPM or FPM.
