Principle of operation
In the segmented ball valve the medium flows into the convex
face of the ball. When the valve is closed, the pressure acts on
the convex side of the ball. The flow coefficient is determined
by the opening angle of the ball.
To reduce the wear on the body on using abrasive media, the
direction of flow can be reversed.

Fail-safe position 2
With the Type SRP and Type 3278 Rotary Actuator the control 2.1
valve has two fail-safe positions which become effective when
the pressure acting on the piston or diaphragm is reduced as 3
well as when the supply air fails:
Control valve CLOSED without supply air
The segmented ball valve is closed when the supply air fails.
Control valve OPEN without supply air 5

The segmented ball valve is opened when the supply air fails. 4

The Type DAP Rotary Actuator has no springs. A defined final

position is not reached when the supply air fails.

Permissible differential pressures for Type 3310 Segmented Ball Valve with valve position CLOSED All pressures in bar
Depending on the valve sizing (cavitation, flashing, gas development), the differential pressure for the open position must be limited.
Maximum exit velocity for liquids is 4 m/s. If cavitation exists, the maximum exit velocity must not exceed 2 m/s in the individual
operating points.
Maximum exit velocity for gases is 0.3 Mach.
