Control element for a ball valve

A control element (30) for a fluid valve (20) includes a main body (32) having a rounded outer surface (34) on a first side (36), an inner base surface (38) and first and second opposed inner side surfaces (40a, 40b) adjacent the inner base surface on a second side (42). First and second ears (44, 4...

Zusammenfassung:A control element (30) for a fluid valve (20) includes a main body (32) having a rounded outer surface (34) on a first side (36), an inner base surface (38) and first and second opposed inner side surfaces (40a, 40b) adjacent the inner base surface on a second side (42). First and second ears (44, 46) are joined to the main body (32) at spaced locations and extend away from the main body (32) on the second side (42) thereof. The ears (44, 46) include opposed inner surfaces (48, 50) adjacent the inner side surfaces (40a, 40b) of the main body. The inner surfaces (40a, 40b) together form opposed passage surfaces which diverge from one another at first and second ends (54, 56) to improve flow efficiency.
