Can the Copar actuator also be used to actuate 3-way ball valves?
There are numerous designs of 3-way ball valves, many of which can be actuated with the Copar. To be able to design a 3-way ball valve with actuator, the following points must be known: • Hole in the ball in “L” or “T” shape • Rotation angle required: 90°, 180° or 360° Needless to say, application data such as pipe pressure, medium, temperature of medium, working pressure of the actuator and required materials for the ball valve etc. are also needed, as for any other ball valve. The Copar can only be used to actuate 3-way ball valves which have a rotation angle of no more than 180°.
