RASHTRIA Pressure Balance Plug Valves have been developed to reduce the operating torue in Plug Valves without compromising on the in-line maintenance capability.The plug and body seating surfaces, which are lapped and matched , are not exposed to the line fluid while valve is open condition,this confines corrosion and erosion to less critical areas.Sealing is further enchanced by specially developed plug sealents charged evenly around the seating surfaces.The plug is impregnated with P.T.F.E. which provides greater wear resistance and ensure consistent operating torque.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION [ back to top ]
In pressure balanced Plug Valve,pressure balancing is achived by providing two holes in the plug connecting the chambers at each end of the plug.The chambers,one fitted with a non-return valve,acts as a balancing mechanism for the plug.The pressure at the large end always equals the line pressure.The pressure at the small end is always equal to or greater than line pressure and minimise resultant upward force.
IN-LINE MAINTENANCE [ back to top ]
Pressure Balanced Cast Iron Plug Valves offer the in-line maintenance which elimanates the need to wait for a shutdown.All valves are offerd with an improved sealent charging system which consists of a button head screw for gun charging.
OPERATION [ back to top ]

Pressure Balanced Cast Iron Plug Valves are supplied with Double 'D' stems suitable for wrench operation

However wrenches should be ordered seprately.A square adapter can be fitted to the stem, on request ,if the valve is to be operated by a square headed wrench.

RASHTRIA CAST IRON Pressure Balanced Plug Valves are supplied with RASHTRIA-300 plug sealent suitable for most services other than acid solutions and hydrocarbons.Valves are also supplied with RASHTRIA-200 Plug sealent which is suitable for hydrocarbon services.

END CONNECTIONS [ back to top ]
Valves can be offered with flanged ends to the following Standards :
Flanged : To match flanges drilled to BS 10 Table 'D' , ASME/ANSI B 16.1 Class 125 , DIN PN 10 or 4504 PN 10
Valves can also be offered with undrilled flanges.
Size 6" and above have some holes (refer drg.) tapped on each flange to facilitate fasteninf of mating flanges and require studs of same diameter of the bolt which they replace.The tapping is to UNC threads for Class 125 & Table 'D' flanges and ISO metric for PN 10 flanges.
