Here at Valves Online we recognise the challenges faced by yourselves, regarding process and control valves, which we meet with the experience we have accumulated on the physics of measurement, control and regulating technology and are happy to offer the best valve solution for your application.
We offer various valves to meet your control requirements form the basic V sector quarter turn ball valve to globe, diaphragm and butterfly valve technology.
Below we have put together a guide detailing the control valves we offer and what applications they are best suited for, if you need any advice pleasecontact our Technical Sales team.
Rotary Control Valves
Quarter Turn – Ball Valves
All the V sector quarter turn ball valves can be operated manually, electrically and pneumatically. The valve comprises of a 3-three-piece body and instead of a ball with a round hole fitted we replace it with a V sector hole in 30°, 60° and 90°-degree segments or ball angle.
These valves are sized on a flow chart which relate to the valve size, angle and flow rate in M3/h. on the chart you should be trying to reach 70% - 80% for the maximum flow (this is so that if you need to increase the maximum flow you still have a little to play with).
The chart is based for clear liquids such as water at 20°C and this is important a pressure drop across the valve of a minimum of 0.5bar (pressure drop is the difference between the inlet and outlet of the valve.
If you have any doubt in selecting the correct valve just contact us and we will size up the valve for you, (that’s what we are here for!)
Our Pneumatic V Sector Ball Control Valve is a robust and compact unit designed to meet process flow requirements; ideal for use in commercial and industrial process applications, comprising of a high-performance modulating ball valve, quality pneumatic actuator and state-of-the-art positioner.
The Pneumatic V Sector Ball Control Valve is the perfect choice for maintaining flow rates in continuous or batch processing operations, controlling the pressure of liquid filling lines and discharging the temperature of heat exchangers that have a steam feed line.
Thanks to the pneumatic actuation and digital positioner the V-Sector Ball Control Valve is more than suitable for dynamic and fast changing processes where a minimal hysteresis and robust operation is required.
Set up and programming is simple to undertake using the self-auto tune positioner, accepting 4-20mA or 0-10-volt input signals and offering multiple feedback options.
Available to order from stock with 30°, 60° or 90° V notch ball in a choice of body options:
3 Piece Heavy Duty Design, featuring encapsulated bolts and suitable for pressures up to 2000PSI. This body option is available in Carbon Steel (WCB) or Stainless Steel (CF8M) materials to suit your process and budgetary requirement. End Connection options for this body style include threaded ends (BSP or NPT), Socket Weld and Butt Weld Schedule 40.
2 Piece High Performance Flanged Design, available to suit the most commonly encountered flange drillings and pressure ratings such as PN16 and ANSI150 as standard, and available in PN40 and ANSI300 upon request, all supplied in either stainless steel or Carbon Steel.
Our Electric V Sector Ball Control Valve is a modulating ball valve designed for the safe and accurate control of flowing media.
Used for controlling, batching and maintaining the flow, level, temperature and pressure within industrial, chemical and food / beverage manufacturing industries, comprising of a high-performance modulating ball valve, quality electric actuator and proportional control unit.
Accepting 4-20mA or 0 -10 Volt input signals and available to order from stock with 30°, 60° or 90° V notch ball.
The Electric actuator offers slightly different strengths than the pneumatically operated control valve in that the slower operation makes it more suitable for more static less dynamic systems, it has built-in end of travel feedback and an integral manual override.
The design and construction can also make it more suitable depending on the location or atmospheric requirements in that it has a built-in anti condensation heater, an IP67 enclosure and is available in multiple construction materials suck as Nylon/PA or Polyester Coated Aluminium and can also be offered with ATEX approval to ATEX II 2 GD Ex d II B T6.
Essentially the same as the pneumatically operated version the Electrically Operated Ball Control valve has the following body and connection options:
3 Piece Heavy Duty Design, suitable up to 2000PSI. Available in Carbon Steel (WCB) or Stainless Steel (CF8M) materials. End Connections including: Threaded ends (BSP or NPT), Socket Weld and Butt Weld Schedule 40.
2 Piece High Performance Flanged Design, available as standard in PN16 and ANSI150 also, available in PN40 and ANSI300 and supplied in either stainless steel or Carbon Steel.
Quarter Turn – Butterfly Valves
Our metal bodied resilient seated and double offset quarter turn butterfly valves can also be operated manually, electrically and pneumatically in control applications.
Suitable for high flow applications (typically we recommend between 30 to 70% of the valve Kv), butterfly valves offer an economic option for the control of fluids, we have multiple options available each of which are suitable for different processes:
Resilient Soft Seated Butterfly Valves; featuring different materials of construction such as Ductile Iron or Stainless Steel Bodies, Choice of Disc Materials (Stainless Steel, Aluminium Bronze, Nylon Coated, EPDM Coated and PTFE Coated) With different liner options such as EPDM, BUNA, Viton, PTFE,
Silicon. This valve offers wide compatibility for many process including but not limited to Industrial, Chemical and Water industries.
The double offset offers high performance with the ability to control higher temperatures, and greater pressures. Typical applications for this valve include the control of exhaust gases, hot water systems in HVAC applications and the new addition of a 25 Bar rated valve, which has been used on high rise pumping.
Hygienic – we have a sanitary butterfly valve that is electrically operated which accepts various control signals. This has proven to be an ideal option when there is no pneumatic control air available.
The first in our range of globe control valves offers a winning solution for precise and accurate control applications. Light in weight and ultra-compact, it offers excellent characteristics for effective continuous control.
The variation of the flow is the function of the parabolic plug position. Stainless steel or PTFE seals offer either class IV or class VI shut off and each body size has a range of control plugs and corresponding replaceable seats for perfect sizing of any throttling application.
This valve is fitted with a digital electro pneumatic positioner that offers an easy start up function (X tune) and accepts 4-20 mA and 0-10-volt signals. The higher accuracy is achieved because of the linear motion, the specially designed plug and the ultra-smooth running actuator.

Self-Acting Control
Self-acting temperature control valves are an ideal choice for heating and cooling applications. These can be used on water or steam. The design of these valves simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a power supply and any control instrument signals. These valves are reliable, fitted with long life spring mechanisms, have wide set point range and set point adjustment.
For a heating application you will require a valve that is normally open that will close with rising temperature.
For a cooling application you will require a valve that is normally closed and will open with rising temperature.
For more assistance on how to select your valve for a system click on the Valve Selection tab on the TLV TC1 product page.
TLV's TC1 is a self-acting temperature regulator for general steam applications which requires no power supply or signal to control the temperature of a process.
The reliable design, long-life spring and simple set point adjustment offers a direct alternative to more complex... and costly signal controlled valves. Suitable for liquids compatible with sensor head.
