Product Overview

Bray V-port valves deliver zero-leakage shutoff and high rangeability for precision control

High-Performance Control and Sealing

Bray’s V-port (V-ball) rotary control valve combines the advantages of zero-leakage Class VI bubble-tight shutoff ball valves with the high rangeability of characterized control valves, delivering superior flow control, lower pressure drop, and fast response across diverse control valve applications.
Available as a direct replacement for multiple Bray quarter-turn ball valves, it features high flow coefficient (Cv) with a lightweight and compact design. Standard V-port options include 30°, 60°, and 90° openings, with custom port geometries available for specific control valve requirements.
All V-port ball valves comply with multiple industry standards and certifications, including API 607, ATEX, NACE MR0175, PED, PE(S)R, SIL, and TR CU, ensuring reliability and international code compliance.
For optimal industrial valve automation flow control, a complete control valve solution is required, including valve, actuator, and valve controller. Paired with Bray’s world-class pneumatic, electric, and electro-hydraulic actuators and control systems, Bray’s characterized V-ball control valve delivers exceptional rangeability, repeatability, and precise control.

FAQ

How does the Bray V-Port Control ball valve balance precise regulation with tight shutoff?

The valve uses a V-port ball design, creating characterized flow changes through ball rotation to achieve high rangeability, fast response, and precise flow control. It also delivers Class VI sealing performance, combining the regulation capability of a control valve with the tight sealing of a ball valve.

How should the V-port angle be selected? What are the differences between 15°, 30°, 60°, and 90° ports?

Different V-port angles affect flow characteristics and control resolution at various openings. Selection should consider media properties, required flow range, differential pressure, and control objectives. This series offers 15°, 30°, 60°, and 90° V-ports, plus custom slot ports and custom V-ports. Specific configuration should be confirmed based on actual model and application conditions.

What industrial control applications is this V-Port Control ball valve suitable for?

This product is suitable for temperature control, flow control, steam control, cavitation conditions, level control, and pH service. Its high Cv, low pressure drop, and fast response make it ideal for continuous regulation in industrial process control applications.

What actuators and control systems can be paired with the Bray V-Port Control ball valve?

The valve can be paired with Bray pneumatic, electric, and electro-hydraulic actuators and valve control systems to form a complete automated control valve solution. Valve, actuator, and controller matching should be determined based on control method, actuation requirements, and actual operating conditions.

What parameters should be confirmed during selection?

Key selection parameters include pipe size, pressure rating, media temperature, body material, seat material, end connection type, V-port configuration, and automation requirements. Size range is NPS 1/4 to 12, DN 6 to 300, temperature range -46°C to 343°C, pressure ratings cover ASME Class 150, 300, 600 and EN 1092 PN10 to PN40. Specific configuration should be confirmed based on actual model and application conditions.
