*Warning: Handle Set Screw is factory

calibrated and should not be adjusted
in order to defend the F and X stem
from being harmed

Ball valve handle
provides rapid shut
off while keeping the
metering ow presetting.

Encapsulated ball stem
design has virtually no
dead space to minimize
system contamination.

GENERALFEATURES

The Shut-off Metering Ball Valve Series provides the highest
degree of precision metering for moderate pressure applications.
This series features innovative and unique shut-off capability and
allows full control of the process from complete shut-off to extra
ne regulation.
A choice of three precision stem tapers enables metering at ow
capacities as low as CV= 0.001 with up to 11 handle turns.
This valve is the ultimate solution for precision ow control.

TESTING

The H, F and X Series metering ball valve designs have been
tested for Proof and Burst.
Every MBV - H, F & X metering valve is factory tested with
Nitrogen at 1000 psig (69 bar) for proper assembly, using leak
detection.

FLOW DATA AT 70ºF (20ºC)

FLOW SETTING

MBV-H series metering valve is tested for bubble tight shut­off at 100 psig (6.8 bar) differential pressure.

MBV-F series metering valve handle dead stop is set at 4 to
10 std cm3/min with 5 psig (0.34 bar) inlet pressure.

MBV-X series metering valve handle dead stop is set at 4 to
10 std cm3/min with 15 psig (1.0 bar) inlet pressure.

CLEANING & PACKAGING

Every MBV series Metering ball valve is cleaned in accordance with
Standard Cleaning and Packaging (procedure 8184). Oxygen Clean &
Lubricant Free Cleaning and packaging, in accordance with Special
Cleaning and Packaging (procedure 8185), is available as an option.
Lubricant free cleaned valves have signicantly higher
actuation torque.
