Gaoshan Valve — BQ640H Pneumatic Eccentric Semi-Ball Valve
Model: BQ640H-10C / BQ640H-16C / BQ640H-25 / BQ640H-40 | Pressure: PN10 ~ PN40 | Connection: Flanged | Actuation: Pneumatic | Medium: Water, Oil, Slurry
Product Overview
The BQ640H Pneumatic Eccentric Semi-Ball Valve is a new-generation valve developed by Gaoshan Valve based on imported advanced semi-ball valve technology. It combines the sealing advantages of a ball valve with the flow-control characteristics of a butterfly valve, making it ideal for pipelines carrying media with impurities, slurry, and particulate matter. The pneumatic actuator provides fast 90° opening/closing with reliable automation control, widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, power generation, water supply, and drainage systems.
Key Advantages
Novel Design & Reliable Sealing
Simple structure with beautiful appearance. The eccentric design ensures the ball surface and valve seat contact and separate rapidly during opening and closing, minimizing friction and extending service life.
Fast 90° Actuation
Quarter-turn (90°) operation with small torque and smooth handling. Pneumatic actuation enables rapid remote control and automated process integration.
Self-Compensating Seal
Under eccentric operation, the disc and seat generate pretight force to seal. Micro wear on sealing surfaces is automatically compensated during operation, ensuring excellent sealing performance.
Energy Efficient
Low friction coefficient and self-adjusting seal reduce operating torque and energy consumption. The hard alloy sealing surface resists abrasion from particulate media.
