Superior Engineering and ConstructionConstructed from high-grade SS304/SS316 stainless steel, these three-piece ball valves boast exceptional corrosion resistance and durability, making them ideal for demanding industrial settings. The polished or shot-blasted finish adds a premium touch, ensuring longevity even in corrosive environments such as chemical plants or offshore platforms.
Versatility in Application and MountingDesigned for compatibility with water, oil, gas, and air, the valves provide a flexible solution for various flow control requirements. Multiple connection options, including threaded, socket weld, and butt weld, ensure straightforward integration into new and existing pipelines. The ISO 5211 mounting pad accommodates diverse actuation needs if automation is required.
Advanced Sealing and Safety FeaturesFitted with seat inserts in PTFE, RTFE, or CFT, these valves guarantee bubble-tight, Class VI sealing. Standard blowout-proof stem and the option of a locking device enhance operational safety. All valves comply with ASME and API standards, ensuring compliance and reliability, backed by rigorous API 598 testing.
FAQs of 3 Piece Ball Valves:
Q: How do three-piece ball valves with stainless steel construction benefit industrial applications?
A: Three-piece ball valves made from SS304/SS316 provide superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in harsh industrial environments like chemical processing, oil & gas, and water treatment. Their robust design ensures long service life and minimal maintenance.
Q: What process is followed for testing these ball valves before shipment?
A: Each valve undergoes stringent quality checks according to API 598 testing standards. This includes pressure and leakage assessments to ensure they meet Class VI (bubble tight) leakage criteria and adhere to ASME B16.34/API 608 design guidelines.
Q: Where are these three-piece ball valves typically installed?
A: These valves are commonly installed in industrial pipelines handling water, oil, gas, chemicals, or air. Their versatile end connections (threaded, socket weld, butt weld) allow seamless integration into new installations or retrofits across various sectors, including chemical, oil & gas, and power plants.
Q: What is the advantage of the ISO 5211 mounting pad on these ball valves?
A: The ISO 5211 mounting pad enables easy attachment of actuators or gear operators. This feature facilitates both manual and automated operationuseful for remote or hazardous environments where automated control enhances safety and efficiency.
Q: When should a locking device be requested for these valves?
A: A locking device should be requested when valve tampering prevention is necessary, such as in safety-critical installations, or when accidental operation needs to be avoided. Its particularly beneficial in regulated industries where secure shutdown or operation is mandatory.
Q: How does the PTFE seat insert contribute to the valves performance?
A: PTFE (Teflon) seat inserts provide excellent chemical resistance and low friction, ensuring a tight seal and smooth quarter-turn operation. This material is suitable for a wide range of media, maintaining reliable performance across varied temperatures and pressures.
