Flowserve’s Valbart® TMCBV Trunnion-Mounted Control Ball Valve

Delivering high rangeability and noise control

To provide our customers with updated information on Flowserve products, we are pleased to share the design updates for the Valbart TMCBV trunnion-mounted control ball valve for oil and gas midstream and liquefied natural gas (LNG) processes.

Product Design Updates

Engineering has updated the cavitation and noise trims on the TMCBV from a welded to a sleeve design.

Benefits

Reduce inventory: sleeve design reduces inventory by stocking a sleeve that is interchangeable with the same ball.
Reduce lead time: sleeve design reduces project lead times by manufacturing the sleeve and ball in parallel.

Development

The sleeve design is being completed in three phases:

Phase 1: D1 (completed in 2018)
Phase 2: Z1, Z2, C1, C2 (will be completed later this month)
Phase 3: N2 to 3, N2 to 4 (in process;)
