T-port valve
The T-port valve integrates a T-shape discharge into the pigging line and at the same time
separates the rest of the pigging line. With these two features a one pig system can be
applied; this offers the advantage of easier installation, operation and automation.
The T-port valve's seal principle has been well-proven for years. Available sizes are DN
25 up to DN 300 (1“ up to 12“).
- Closed and piggable to one side
- Automatic or manual operation
In its initial state the T-branch is locked and the piggable passage is free. On switching the
valve the pipeline part facing away from product is locked through a 90° turn of the cylinder.
At the same time the T-branch opens and a pig catcher is turned into the pipeline. This
T-branch now connects the pigging line with the discharge line through the cylinder so that
the product can be transferred now. To terminate the transfer, a pig empties the pipeline
up to the pig catch unit and the valve is closed again by turning, the separated part of the
pipeline is opened again. Should the product simultaneously be transferred to various discharges, the valve can be set up in a way that the rear pipeline is not separated.
This valve is often used for filling and emptying of tanks.
T-port valve with 90° rotary actuator as product outlet valve in DN 80. Here
equipped with a warm water heating jacket.
T-port valve as pig launching and receiving station with pilot valves for pig
propellant. For safe pig exchange a ANSI 3“ flange connection, displaced by 90°
is installed.
Two T-port valves as product outlet valves (size DN 80) with pig sensor, which locates the pig as soon as it
bears on the pig catch unit.
T-port valve as product outlet valve in size DN 50.
