PBM Multi-Port Bali Valves

The capability of PBM's Multi-Port Ball

Valves to control flow direction and shut-off into a single unit, and at the same time permit selection of 73 different flow patterns is fully taken up in the company's newly published MP Series Reference Guide.

As an aid to process engineers, the tech- nical aspects of these versatile valves are well covered. Included are all 73 flow pat- terns, plus specific application examples for the 3, 4, and 5-way valves. Detailed engi- neering drawings for all styles, plus drawings for optional Tee Port, Angle Port, and Dou- ble Angle Port configurations are also in- cluded. So that valves can be exactly matched to specific requirements, specifications for all the six metals available are listed, along with pressure ratings, working temperatures, and optional seat and seal materials. End fittings, actuators, and handles and operators are also included.

Sizes range from y2 inch to 4 inches in pressure ratings to 400 psi and temperatures to 500 °F.
