A pneumatic segment ball valve is a type of control valve that combines the features of a ball valve and a segment valve, operated by a pneumatic actuator. These valves are commonly used in industrial applications for regulating the flow of various fluids, including gases, liquids, and slurries. The valve has a V-shaped or segmented ball, which provides better control over the flow compared to a traditional full-port ball valve. The V-notch design allows for precise flow control, making it suitable for throttling applications. The valve is operated by a pneumatic actuator, which uses compressed air to open or close the valve. Pneumatic actuators are known for their fast response times and reliability.

Integral body construction
One piece body construction with no flange rings, inserts or end caps to create potential leak paths, even if the valve is subjected to pipe bending forces. Seating capabilities are totally unaffected by pipeline forces, which assures reliable valve operation.
Accurate control
Carefully designed V-ported segment, low torque requirements and clearance-free movement result in good control performance. The design provides steady and gentle contact between the seat and segment at all times to minimize friction while providing tightness. Bearings are located inside the valve body providing larger bearing areas, lower bearing loads and longer bearing life.
V-port Segment Ball
Specially designed V-notch ball provides strong cutting stress and tight sealing. Well ground notched ball surface ensures small operating torque and tight seal, especially for metal seated segment valve.
Seat
Special seat design eliminates cavity between seat and valve body. This, consequently, prevents media from jamming between seat and body, ensure reliable sealing.
Seal Surface
Nitriding/Tungsten Carbide/Satellite Alloy/Nickle Base Alloy plating are available for abrasive media.
