• Control
valve
and shut-off The SOMAS ball segment valve type KVTW with a centrically mounted shaft, and KVXW
with an eccentrically mounted shaft are of wafer design. The valve called the A-version is
manufactured in standard face to face dimensions common in certain markets.
• High capacity The valve is also manufactured in D-type version with a short face to face dimension.
• One-piece shaft gives
torque transmission
(See Si-114).
The valve body is in one piece. SOMAS unique shaft device is designed for torque
free of backlash transmission and gives backlash-free operation with accurate control. The spring-loaded

Alloy]).
differential pressure The valves can be used for control, as well as for shut-off applications on practically
every type of media within a wide temperature range.
• Easy maintenance Choose KVTW for liquids, media containing impurities etc. For dry and clean media
choose KVXW. In the KVXW-valve the ball segment is eccentrically mounted and rotates
out from the seat when the valve is opened. This reduces the wear on seat and segment.
Low noise trim is available as an option on DN50 to DN250. The designation “LN”
indicates that the ball segment is equipped with a network of bars that are used to split
up the pressure drop across the valve. This results in less pressure recovery, thereby
reducing the noise and potential damage due to cavitation.
Note! Capacity factors will be reduced for valves with LN-trim.
Ball segment DN50 to DN250 with V-groove is available for use at high fiber concentra-
tions. The V-groove design prevents dewatering at small opening angles.
V-port MC The SOMAS valves are delivered ready for installation and operation. The valve
assemblies are delivered factory tested as complete units with actuators, positioners and
accessories.

For controlling suspensions with high fiber concen-
trations it can be advantageous to use valves with a
V-groove to reduce the risk of de-watering at small
opening angles.
Capacity factors and remaining factors for valves
with LN-trim and valves with V-groove are available
in the valve sizing program SOMSIZE.
