Manufacturing
Balon: The Company
Situated on ten acres in Oklahoma City,

this facility typifies the Balon concept
and approach to producing a superior
valve.
Because growth has been rapid, it has
been a policy to gear ahead of the
actual demand so that good deliveries
can be sustained and so that surges in
demand do not restrict our capability to
pursue an ongoing program of product
improvement and expansion.
Moreover, it has been our policy over

the years to control the manufacture of
our valves in every possible way, and
this has meant basic manufacture of all
components, including molding of
seats, and close-tolerance machining of
balls.
The people who manufacture the Balon
ball valve take pride in their work. And
it is this pride of craftsmanship that sets
Balon apart from its competition.
By utilizing the most modern

equipment and facility available today,
Balon is able to do many things more
quickly than those manufacturers
whose equipment and facilities have
become outdated and costly. We will
continue to recognize that the Balon
name must be synonymous with raising
the threshold of quality and lowering the
cost of ownership.
2001 Balon Corporation
Balon: The Ball Valve

Unblemished Safety Record:
After almost four decades of producing
valves and having no injuries nor property damage result from the failure of a
Balon valve, we are proud to claim that
we make the safest ball valves available
on the market today.
This safety record did not come from
shying away from the tough high
pressure applications in the field. It did
not arise from cutting corners to lower
the cost of making valves to the
ultimate peril of those who operate
them. It was not borne of cosmetic
contrivance nor gimmickry and
gadgetry.
It has been the calculated result of a
rational, intentional and concerted effort
to address every possible hazard and
to design and manufacture valves with
an inherent margin of safety far
surpassing that of others on the market.
Total Commitment: More than

innovative design goes into producing a
superior valve. More than controlled
and precision manufacturing methods.
More than overall engineering expertise.
More than effective marketing and
distribution. To produce a valve noted
for its superiority in performance, safety,
dependability and for its consistent
quality implies a total commitment in all
of these phases.
Combined Effort: Balon Corporation,
since its beginning in 1965, has
coupled improved design features,
advanced manufacturing methods and
practical common sense engineering
approaches with a well planned, highly
supportive and field channeled
marketing and distribution program.
The natural result of this effort has been
that the Balon ball valve has attained a
reputation for excellence unequaled by
any other ball valve on the market.
Individual Pride: Many manufacturers

have adopted the philosophy that
valves are best made by turning them
out on sophisticated machines
incapable of exercising judgment as to
the quality of the final product. At
Balon, we believe that people not
machines produce valves. Our valves
are produced by perfection-minded
craftsmen who use specialized
machines as tools to help them make a
better valve.
Continued Support: It is with this
philosophy in mind that we will continue
to provide a better valve, an advanced
valve. And we will support this product
with a concerted program of design,
manufacturing, engineering and
marketing.

Multi-Seal: The Heart of the Valve

Notice the grooves. These grooves loosely receive any grit
that might be present when the valve is closed. When the
valve is opened, the foreign matter washes harmlessly away,
where an ordinary valve seal could have been scored across
its entire surface. Balons seal is good as new.
Notice the seal rings. Not just one ring a series. Thats
where Multi-Seal gets another big sealing edge over plain
seals. The rings assure a concentrated seal, providing a bubble tight seal at high and low pressures, the tighter the seal
the better the shut-off.
Notice the tapered outer walls. These tapered walls on the
Multi-Seal provide automatic seal-to-ball tensioning and selfadjustment to wear. Much longer life and complete troublefree performance is what you get. Thats why you dont need
a repair kit.
How long will the Balon Multi-Seal last? Our sales records
of replacement seats indicate that most Balon valves sold
have provided many years of trouble-free performance.
It has been tested on water pumped at 1,000 psi operating
pressure with shock loading on shutoff up to 1,800 psi. After
a million shutoffs, it still sealed bubble tight.

Unique Sealing Approach

The Balon ball valve is the culmination
of many years of arduous design and
development effort which has been
focused on providing a clearly better
choice in ball valves. It is a refinement
of features proven superior during
usage of Balon ball valves in thousands
of installations since 1965.
As described on the facing page,
the multi-seal seat design has given
impetus to the development of an
overall valve which embodies several
design improvements.
Backseated Stem
Stems are backseated and therefore
blowout proof. And they provide metalto-metal backup sealing in the event of
a fire. This secondary metal-to-metal

sealing is also provided internally behind
the seat area.
Simplified Top Works
Bolts and glands and complicated stem
assemblies are totally absent in the
Balon valve to assure a simpler, more
trouble-free valve. Hazards associated
with bolted stem retainers and packing
adjustment screws or bolts have been
eliminated. Even the stops are internal
and give dual precise topping support
during opening or closing. The stem
area is grease-packed and protected
by dual plastic weather guards to shield
this vital area from external elements.
Precise Manufacturing Control

Balon uses only the highest quality
materials to assure the strength and
uniformity necessary for applications
where they are used. To further
enhance the overall operational
superiority of the valve, all balls are
machined in-house by Balons spherical
machining process which assures a
consistently accurate spherical contour.
They are superbly finished and polished.
This high integrity finish, along with
multi-seals advanced sealing capability,
provides highest sealing efficiency and
substantially reduced operating torque.
Valve safety is no accident. We do it by design.

SAFETY AND BLOWOUT PREVENTION
Simple Design
In keeping with Balons philosophy of
design which envisions simplification
and improvement instead of improvement by complication, the Balon stem
design solves many problems associated with the common stem design. The
overall utility of the ball valve is related in
no small way to the basic stem design.
Certain standard designs originated
early and were followed through by ball
valve manufacturers in the years following the advent of the ball valve itself
during World War II.
8
The Balon Stem: New

Solutions For Old Problems
The Balon design represents the result
of a total attack on specific problems
associated with the outdated design. In
the past, it has been a frequent practice
to retain stems by use of external
retainers secured by use of external
bolts or screws. Often these bolted
arrangements also provided stem packing adjustment. The problem of leaking
stems was amplified because of the
complexity of the assembly itself.
SELECTIVE DUAL SEALING WITH THRUST

WASHER FOR HIGHER PRESSURE AND O-RING
FOR LOWER PRESSURE
The absence of backseating in early

designs opened the way for stem
blowout in the event of failure of the
retaining assembly or as a result of
forcible operation of the valve.
In many former designs, double O-rings
were incorporated on the theory that
should one O-ring fail to seal, then the
second O-ring would perform the sealing job. However, higher pressures
trapped between the O-rings often
caused high operating torque and other
operating problems.
A Combination of Improvements
As shown here, the Balon design is
simple, yet solves these problems. The
clean, functional design of the stem
assembly represents dramatic improvement in many ways over conventional
designs. As is true of the overall Balon
approach, the Balon stem does not
present just one special modification or
design innovation. Rather, it represents
the bringing together of interrelated
improvements, resulting in total
improvement and total superiority.
Safer...Simpler...Better Sealing
NO SPECIAL HANDLE NEEDED
While handles can be provided for
operation of the Series F and Series S,
the heavy-duty rectangular stem design
allows for usage of standard wrenches
where it is necessary to conserve
space, and to prevent accidental operation of the valve, or simply where standard wrenches are more convenient.
To further enhance the service life and
ease of operation, the stem area is fully
grease-packed and then sheltered by
dual nylon weather guards. External
elements such as dirt, sand, and salt air
atmosphere are kept out.
NO BOLTS, SCREWS, PACKING

GLANDS
The Balon design eliminates
troublesome bolting, adjustment
screws, and packing glands. Problems
of adjustment, blowout resulting from
failure of retaining assembly, and
external attack by corrosion and foreign
abrasives are all solved. By simplifying
the stem assembly, fewer parts are
involved and therefore the possibilities
for trouble are significantly reduced.
Because there are no grease channels
or lubricating ports there are no leak
paths which can result in stem leakage.
PATENTED INTERNAL DUAL STOPS

Instead of external stops and exposed
bolting, the stem is supported laterally
by a stop plate keyed into the body
head. This plate has integral broached
stops contralaterally positioned so that
the stem is stopped simultaneously on
both sides whether being opened or
closed. This dual stopping action eliminates deflection and stress on the
stem. Perfect alignment is assured in
SELECTIVE DOUBLE SEALING

Balon utilizes a TFE thrust washer for
primary sealing at higher pressures.
For lower pressures and vacuum, the
O-ring provides the sealing. The stem
region between the two seals cannot
remain pressurized - as can happen in
conventional double O-ring arrangements - since at lower line pressures,
the TFE seal will permit bleed back into
body region. Two seals, but only one
acting at any given time.
the stem bore, and therefore more trouble free and longer life stem and stem
seal service. Dual stops keep ball in
precise position against the seat, and in
the open position this prevents exposure of the seat to damage and wear
from the flow. Sealing effectiveness is
sustained and extended.
BLOWOUT PROOF
Notice that the stem is backseated
against an inner shoulder, and not
retained by external bolts or screws or
retaining plates. Blowout is inherently
denied by this positive method of stem
retention. Balon has machined a safety
shear groove on each side of the stem
at the base of the wrench flats, but
safety above the stem seals, and above
the inner shoulder. Should excessive
torque be applied to the stem, it would
shear above the shoulder and above
the sealing area. No blowout. No
release of hazardous material.
Safety is our greatest concern. We work at it.
A More Complete Solution to Fire Safety
Figure A: Valve closed and seals intact.
In 1965, after many years of

development and testing, Balon
patented and introduced a ball valve
which represented a dramatic turning
point in valve safety. It was the first ball
valve with a backseated stem to prevent
stem blowout; first with packless stem
gland housing, eliminating stem
adjustment mechanisms; first with a
stem shear groove to assure controlled
stem breakage above the backseat in
the event of twist-off; first with full
spectrum fire safety for metal-to-metal
secondary sealing at all potential leak
points. Balon then encased these
safety improvements in a rugged bolted
body assembly capable of better
withstanding violent thrust loading and
line stresses so common in highpressure line applications.
Fire safety in ball valves has become a
major consideration as more and more
ball valves have been used in hazardous
environments.
The Balon ball valve has been designed
to provide maximum backup sealing in
the event resilient seals are destroyed
by heat or fire.
Controlled Spacing
The valve internals, with seals intact,
can be seen in Figure A. In the closed
position the ball is held off of secondary
metal seat provision.
10
Figure B: Valve is closed, seals completely dissipated.
The seat and seat pocket are made

oversize in radial dimension, allowing
close spacing of the ball and metal seat
provision. In operation, with prime seals
in place, this controlled spacing prevents
damage to the surface finish of the ball.
It can also be seen that the stem is
backseated, and with seals in place the
primary stem seal holds the stem off
of metal shoulder machined in the
valve body.
Secondary Stem Seal
In Figure B, the seals have been fully
dissipated, ball has moved downstream
onto the secondary metal seat, and the
stem has been checked, metal-tometal, against the inner shoulder.
As can be seen, the stem is free to
move upward when subjected to a
slight amount of pressure, onto the
machined metal inner shoulder, thus
substantially restricting any flow past
the stem into the atmosphere.
Straight Ahead Ball Movement
The stem tongue is keyed into a linear
milled slot, straight and perpendicular
to the bore of the valve. In the closed
position, the ball is free to move downstream onto the secondary metal seating, functioning at that moment as a
simple ball check valve.
The ball itself is confined in the body

with just enough vertical and horizontal
clearance to assure free and easy
operation. This keeps the ball in uniform
alignment so that ball movement onto
backseating - should it become
necessary - is consistently on a straight
course, without deflection up, down,
or sideways.
The valve may be positioned in either
vertical or horizontal installations, and
retain its secondary metal-to-metal
sealing capability.
These very simple provisions are
intended to provide full operational
safety, but of course positive assurance
of total fire safety cannot be given due
to the many variable conditions which
can arise. Every attempt has been
made in the design of the Balon valve to
provide as safe a valve as is practicable
within the scope of economic feasibility
for the user.
Balon ball valves have been
successfully tested by an independent
laboratory in accordance with API
Standard 6FA Fire Test For Soft
Seated Ball Valves. Results of this
testing are available on request from
Balons headquarters office.

Series F Screwed End / Grooved End

The Balon Aluminum Bronze
A firesafe design, the Balon
Series F ball valve provides a
aluminum bronze includes a
good alternative to higher
built-in locking device, bolted
priced stainless steel valves,
construction, and 316 stainless
particularly in CO2 secondary
steel ball and stem, all as
recovery applications.
standard features, and meets

NACE requirements.
Balon utilizes a 9D aluminum

bronze which has a higher
nickel content than other
aluminum bronze alloys such
as 9A, 9B, and 9C, thus providing much better corrosion
resistance.

Balon Flow Data

Cv Ratings of Regular Port Valve
Balon valves are designed with the ball
center offset from the valve center.
This permits optimum castability of the
body and the adapter, and results in
better castings. The longer taper in the
adapter also improves flow characteristics. The direction in which the valve is
installed in the line has an effect on flow
capacity.
The calculated figures listed below
illustrate this effect. It should be noted

Cv Ratings of Full Bore Valve

Depending upon pipe schedule with
which they are used, Balon full bore
valves have bore sizes exceeding or
nearly equaling the pipe inside diameter. The best method of computing
system pressure losses is to consider
the valve an equivalent length of pipe as
shown below.

Using the Cv method of rating full bore

valves does not provide good accuracy.
The reason for this is that Cv tests do
not provide valid data until the measured pressure drop equals at least 2
psi. In the relatively short length
involved in a valve, extremely high
velocities are required to generate that
pressure drop. At these high velocities
(which are well beyond those used in

industry) other effects, such as vibration
and pulsation are then created by
super turbulent flow. The net results
are Cv ratings which are lower than
would be derived if pressure losses
could be consistently measured at
velocities in the usable range.

Actuator Sizing
Because the actuator sizing is so critical
to the proper operation and life of a ball
valve, we have chosen not to publish
torque values. Misinterpretation of
manual torque data can lead to
undersizing, while misinterpretation of
factored torque values can mislead as

to ease of manual operation.
Furthermore, type of service conditions
can significantly alter standard torque
requirements. Balon valves have been
recognized for years as a very easy to
operate valve. We will be glad to

provide sizing information upon request
through one of our field representatives
or from our Oklahoma City
headquarters.
Standards and Specifications

Balon utilizes the following standards in
the manufacture of ball valves. It should
be noted that not all styles, configura-
tions and materials used in Balon

Valves meet all of these standards in
their entirety.
User should, therefore, specify a given

standard if there is a need to assure
total compliance with a given standard.
Balon valves are manufactured to the following standards and specifications, among others.
