Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article discusses pipeline fittings for flow control at high pressure. The authors proposed replacing the seat manufacturing material with heat treatment and making changes to improve the design of the body. The proposed option for upgrading the ball valve body makes it possible to ensure PN 40 MPa and improves tightness, increases durability and wear resistance. The proposed changes are confirmed by calculations using the ANSYS program, special attention is paid to calculations for checking the strength of the structure due to complete deformation of the body under different conditions and separate calculations for the saddle.
