Chemline Plastics Introduces SM Series Metering Ball Valve: Precise Linear Flow Control with Integral 180° Scale

Chemline Plastics has introduced the SM Series Metering Ball Valve, designed for fine linear flow control of chemicals or clean fluids such as water. The ball is solid with a graduated V-groove cut on the outside surface. Precise linear flow control is accomplished through the 0° to 180° rotation of the handle in 5° increments. The many fine flow-control applications include pressure washing systems, aquatic life support/fisheries research and many others.

TORONTO, Canada - August 2022 - Chemline Plastics has introduced the SM Series Metering Ball Valve, designed for fine linear flow control of chemicals or clean fluids such as water. The ball is solid with a graduated V-groove cut on the outside surface. Precise linear flow control is accomplished through the 0° to 180° rotation of the handle in 5° increments. The many fine flow-control applications include pressure washing systems, aquatic life support/fisheries research and many others.


The SM Series includes high-end ball valve features such as: full blocking design, double stem O-rings for safety, and 230 psi rating for PVC. Low stem torques are achieved through Chemline's floating ball design and cushioned PTFE seats. This valve is also bidirectional for precise flow control in both directions. A positioning electric actuator makes the SM Series a cost-effective control valve.

Product highlights include:
• Sizes: ½" to 1"
• Body: PVC or Polypropylene
• Ends: Threaded, socket, butt, or ChemFlareTM
• O-Rings: EPDM or FPM
• Integral 180° scale with 5° increments

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
