The high-platform ball valve (also known as the ISO5211 direct mounting pad ball valve) is a special type of ball valve featuring an elevated platform on the valve body designed for mounting actuators. Designed and manufactured in compliance with JB, DIN, ISO, API, GB, BS, and other standards, its safety and quality are strictly controlled.

High-platform ball valves offer several significant advantages due to their unique design, making them highly favored in industrial automation applications. Their main benefits include:
1.Standardized Mounting Interface (ISO 5211 Standard):
The valve body features a square or round flange platform compliant with the ISO 5211 international standard. Pneumatic actuators, electric actuators, or manual operators can be directly bolted onto this platform without additional brackets or adapter plates. Actuators from different brands and models can be easily installed as long as they conform to the ISO 5211 standard, greatly improving interchangeability and maintenance convenience.
2.Simple and Efficient Installation:
Eliminates the need for separate procurement and installation of connecting brackets, simplifying the installation process, significantly reducing installation time, and lowering labor costs. The standardized interface minimizes the risk of mismatches during installation.
3.High Rigidity and Precise Positioning:
The actuator is rigidly fixed directly to the valve body, avoiding potential deformation or gaps associated with traditional bracket connections. Ensures efficient torque transmission from the actuator to the valve stem, reducing energy loss. The rigid, gap-free connection guarantees precise and repeatable valve positioning, which is crucial for applications requiring accurate control.
4.More Reliable Sealing Performance:
The rigid connection integrates the actuator, valve stem, and valve body into a more stable unit, reducing lateral stress or torsional deformation caused by improper actuator alignment or uneven force distribution. Improved stem force distribution directly lowers the risk of leakage at the stem seal, enhancing overall sealing reliability.
5.Compact Structure, Space-Saving:
Compared to the traditional "valve + bracket + actuator" configuration, high-platform ball valves with actuators are typically more compact, occupying less space—an important advantage for confined installation environments (e.g., skid-mounted equipment, dense pipelines).
6.Easy Maintenance:
For actuator repair or replacement, simply loosen the bolts on the platform to remove it, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire valve or complex bracket systems, making maintenance quicker and more efficient.
7.Cost-Effective:
Eliminates the need for additional connecting brackets or adapter plates, reducing overall procurement costs. For spare parts maintenance, only the valve body and actuator need to be considered, simplifying inventory management by avoiding the need to stock various bracket specifications.
In summary, the core advantages of high-platform ball valves lie in their ISO 5211-compliant top-mounted platform design, which provides:
1.Standardized, simplified, and efficient installation.
2.Rigid, precise, and reliable actuator connection.
3.Compact overall structure and convenient maintenance.
4.Ultimately improving system reliability, performance, and service life while reducing installation and maintenance costs.
Therefore, high-platform ball valves are often the preferred solution for automated fluid control systems requiring frequent actuator installation, high reliability, precise control, or space constraints.
