principle have the following features
• Full bore, high KV values
• Body of EN-JS 1049 (0.7043 / A395) with PFA-liner
(min. 3 mm wall thickness)
• Exchangeable PTFE seat rings
• 1 pcs ball/stem of stainless steel (1.4313) with PFA liner
(min. 3 mm wall thickness)
• Hysteresis free, perfect for throttling service
• Shaft sealed by a self-adjusting PTFE V-ring packing,
supported by disc springs, maintenance-free Fig. 1: BR 20b Ball valve with Lever
• Blowout-proof shaft
• Connecting flange for actuators acc. to DIN ISO 5211
• DIN version with face-to-face dimensions acc. to
DIN EN 558
• ANSI version with face-to-face dimensions acc. to
ASME B16.10
• High-quality 2-component PU coating (RAL 1019) as
protection against corrosive atmosphere and corrosive
formation

Versions
BR 20b ball valve are optionally available in the following
versions:
• Ball valve with lever (DN 15 to 100 or NPS½ to 3)
• Ball valve with manual gear
• Ball valve with pneumatic quarter-turn actuator (see
associated data sheet for details)
• Acc. to customer specifications

Special versions Optional material combinations
• Valve body made of stainless steel 1.4571 For best adaption to process conditions, it is possible to optimize
• Ball valve for controlling by characteristic seat ring ball valve by modification of materials (eg. body, shaft, ball and
sealing).
• Variety of material for ball and seat ring
• Lining PFA - conductive
• Heating jacket, stainless steel
• FDA conform sealing materials
Additional accessories
• Ball / Shaft two-piece
The following accessories are available (separately or in
• According to customer specifications
combination):
• Locking device
• Shaft extension (100 mm, standard)
Principle of operation • Pneumatic or electric quarter-turn actuators
The BR 20b Ball valves allow full flow through the valve in either • Positioner
directions. • Limit switches
The ball ( 3 ) with its cylindrical passage slew around the middle • Solenoid valves
axis. • Filter regulator
The opening angle of the ball determines the flow through the • Heating jacket available for various nominal sizes on request
free area between the body ( 1 ) and bore. (not for ANSI versions)
• Ball valve for control application by characteristic seat ring
When the ball valve is opened, the entire profile is available.
Further accessories are possible on customer request.
The ball ( 3 ) is sealed by exchangeable seat rings ( 4 ).
The ball shaft is sealed by a PTFE V-ring packing ( 5 ) which
is spring supported by disc springs ( 8 ) positioned above the
packing.
Advantages of the live-loaded sealing system
The shaft is equipped with a lever. Optionally, a pneumatic
• Maintenance-free and self-adjusting
actuator or gear-operated actuator can be assembled.
• Highest tightness, even under extreme pressure and
temperature conditions
• High durability

Fail-safe position All in all: Extremely economic!

Depending on assembly position of the pneumatic actuator, the
valve has two fail-safe positions which become effective when
the air pressure in the actuator is relieved or when the supply air
fails:
• Ball valve with fail-close actuator:
While air failure, the valve is closed. The valve opens when
the signal pressure increases, acting against the force of the
springs.
• Ball valve with fail-open actuator
While air failure, the valve opens. The valve closes when
the signal pressure increases, acting against the force of the
springs.

Note
The ball valve can also be used for control applications. Refer to
the data sheet  DB 20a-kd.

Note
Before using the valve in hazardous areas, check whether this is
possible acc. to ATEX 2014/34/EU by referring to the operating
instructions  BA 20a.

The above listed torques are based on the opening of the ball valve at the differential pressure for water with corrosion inhibitors
added at room temperature and with one-day non-actuation.
Since temperature, pressure, process medium, switching frequencies and idle times considerably affect the arising torques,
corresponding factors need to be taken into consideration on selecting and sizing the actuator. In case of doubt, contact Pfeiffer.
The listed maximum permissible torques apply to the standard material listed in Table 3.
