Hey I got a question. I can't understand why my supplier is giving me a bit different bore when I ordered a full bore ball valve design?
I got a bore of 11.6 mm in a 1/4"(DN8) full bore ball valve, 12.5 mm in a 3/8"(DN10) full bore ball valve and 24 mm in a 1"(DN25) full bore ball valve.
And in higher sizes like 2"(DN50), 3"(DN80) and 4"(DN100) the bore was 50 mm, 80 mm and 100 mm so that matches the full bore DN size values.
So is there any standard which allows the manufacturers to give these bore instead of actual full bore sizes in smaller sizes?
Or giving a bore of 8 mm in 1/4" valve is difficult considering design aspects?
Hope I defined my problem clearly.
