PVC-U Pneumatic Ball Valve Type 230 FC 10 Bar

  Datasheet.pdf

The Georg Fischer Type 230 FC is a pneumatic ball valve in unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), built as an automated isolation unit for industrial process lines. It is rated 10 Bar (PN10 at 20 degrees Celsius) and combines a true union PVC-U ball valve body with a single-acting pneumatic actuator in Fail Closed configuration: internal return springs drive the ball to the closed position whenever pilot air pressure is lost, so the pipeline always defaults to a safe state. Quarter-turn actuation covers 90 degrees in 1 to 2 seconds, giving immediate shut-off or opening in fast process cycles.

Actuator sizes are matched to the valve bore to guarantee correct seating torque and service life: PA11 for DN10/15 up to DN25, PA21 for DN32 to DN50, PA30 for DN65, and PA40 for DN80 and DN100. The valve base carries integrated stainless steel threaded inserts, so the assembly can be bolted directly to brackets or support frames, shielding the thermoplastic pipework from actuation torque and mechanical vibration. The true union body allows radial removal and seal servicing without disassembling adjacent pipe sections.

Produced in dark grey RAL 7011 PVC-U, the valve offers high chemical resistance to acids, alkalis and saline solutions, which suits water treatment, chemical processing and surface treatment installations. Jointing is by standard metric solvent cement sockets from outer diameter d16 mm up to d110 mm. BigWeld is an authorised Georg Fischer distributor and supplies this valve together with technical documentation and actuation accessories for engineering installations across Europe.
