Industrial Ball and Butterfly Valves

Industrial Ball and Butterfly Valves

A ball valve is a quarter-turn rotation valve that uses a ball-shaped disk to stop or start flow through the valve. When the ball valve opens, the ball rotates so that the ball's port is in line with the valve body inlet and outlet. If the valve is closed, the ball turns so that the port is perpendicular to the flow openings of the valve body, and the flow stops.

A butterfly valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve that stops, regulates, and starts the flow using  a disk. The disk is always in the passageway, but because it is relatively less thick, it offers little resistance to flow. The butterfly valve offers many advantages, including 90-degree rotation for fully open and fully closed and good control capabilities to control the flowing media in a process. 

Both types of valves are used widely in industry and are available in a broad spectrum of materials, depending on their application. Each style valve has unique advantages when applied, and it is always a good idea to discuss your application with a valve expert.

A-T Controls is an industry innovator in the conception, production, and distribution of manually operated and automated ball and butterfly valves for a wide variety of business sectors around the world.

Fully Lined Valves Specially Designed for Use in Ultra Pure and Corrosive Industrial Environments

Fully Lined Valves Specially Designed for Use in Ultra Pure and Corrosive Industrial Environments

A lined valve's wetted surfaces are composed of a polymeric substance, most often a fluorocarbon. The medium does not come into touch with any of the metal components in a fully lined valve. Every surface of the valve's wet components has been coated with PFA to prevent chemical corrosion and extend the valve's service life. Pinholes, cracks, swelling, and locally uneven thickness that may occur in injection molded PFA lining, as well as any potential issues with exfoliation, stress cracking, or fluid permeability, are eliminated.

Fully PFA-lined butterfly valves from Acris® provide bidirectional zero leakage shutdown in corrosive and ultra clean industrial applications. Acris PFA-coated butterfly valves provide unrivaled corrosion, permeation, and microbiological contamination protection for optimal purity and durability with little maintenance. Acris completely PFA lined valves are designed for bidirectional zero leakage shutdown and are the high-performance option for essential applications.

Acris PFA-lined ball valves provide unrivaled resistance to corrosion, permeation, and microbiological contamination. As a result, these valves offer optimum purity and dependability while requiring only minimum maintenance. Acris completely PFA-lined ball valves are the high-performance option for applications that need a leak-free shut down in both directions. These valves were designed specifically for this purpose. Both full port and regular port designs are accessible to customers.

The Jerguson Magnicator II Magnetic Level Gage for Liquids and Gases


The Jerguson Magnicator II offers reliable level measurement and optimal performance life. The patented float provides the strongest magnetic field of any magnetic level indicator on the market, ensuring reliable and repeatable operation.

Using a patented float that offers the strongest magnetic field of any magnetic level indicator and an indicator fully isolated from the process, the Jerguson Magnicator II offers reliable level measurement and optimal performance life.

Magnicator level indicators can be used in a variety of applications including acid tanks, sumps, oil production, boiler feedwater heaters, sodium hydroxide, drip legs, steam or hydrocarbon condensate, interface applications (oil/water), separators, propane, slurry tanks, benzene, and natural gas.
  • Where code allows, they are an ideal alternative to sight glasses, providing visibility, reduced maintenance, and eliminating the leak paths associated with sealing glass.
  • Floats feature patented annular ring magnets for strength and smooth autogenous welds that do not interfere with float motion.

SlurryFlo Control Valves for Abrasive and Erosive Slurries


Designed to solve severe flow control problems at the Canadian Oil Sands, the SlurryFlo control valve withstands some of the harshest process conditions, using patented technology that provides the ultimate wear resistance, performance, and durability.

Modulating the flow of slurry can be challenging. The continuous erosion often results in damaged valves and piping; and the costs associated with replacement valves, lost production and labor can be significant.

Compared to traditional ‘line of site’ slurry valves (ball valves, butterfly valves, and pinch valves), the SlurryFlo control valve delivers a quantum leap in service life and reduces the overall cost of ownership for your most demanding applications.

Because of the patented design, exposure to erosive flow only occurs to the trim components. Once they eventually wear out, these parts can easily be field replaced.

SlurryFlo control valves excel in abrasive applications throughout the mining industry or any other process where valve performance and life expectancy are critical.

Industrial Electric Valve Actuators

Electric Actuators

An electric actuator is a device that uses electricity to open, close, or modulate a valve. While most of the fundamental concepts used in electric actuators have been around since the 1930s, decades of incremental advancement have significantly increased their capabilities while decreasing their cost. These developments have reached a tipping point in recent years, making electric actuators the preferable option for many applications. 

Electric valve actuation offer measurable benefits: 
  • Electricity is generally inexpensive, easy to handle, and readily accessible at most industrial facilities. 
  • Electric actuators often have a cheaper capital cost per equivalent torque/thrust output unit. 
  • They are also better for the environment and safer to use. 
  • Electric actuators may provide greater positioning precision for control or modulating valve duties and advanced process monitoring, data recording, and information feedback. 
  • Electric actuators include all necessary control functions, resulting in fewer capital costs. 
  • By providing distributed control, the electric actuator's historically high wire cost is reduced - through efficient and uncomplicated control logic wiring integrated into client SCADA or DCS systems. 
  • As torque and thrust needs grow, electric actuators weigh less and have smaller footprints than pneumatic actuators. 
  • Electronic actuators may provide very high output thrust and torque values when combined with external gears. 
There are also certain drawbacks to electric valve actuation to consider: 
  • With few exceptions, electric actuators cannot guarantee a fail-safe stroke. Nonetheless, they will "fail in place". Fail-safe stroke refers to an actuator's capacity to move a valve to a predetermined safe position when power is lost. 
  • Electric actuators are more complex than other types of actuators. Electronic technology also demands constant upgrading to keep up with component changes and advancements. 
  • Electric actuators are less cost-effective than pneumatic and hydraulic actuators and have operating speed limitations beyond a specified size/torque range. 
  • Electric actuators need more stringent certifications and design characteristics to be safe for use in hazardous areas where explosive process material may be present.
