Versatile Flow Control for Industrial Needs

The Side Entry Ball Valve's bi-directional flow capability, available in full bore or reduced bore, fits seamlessly into petrochemical, power plant, water treatment, and oil & gas setups. These valves meet stringent leakage and fire safety standards, and their anti-static device further ensures safe operation across volatile media environments.

Low Maintenance and High Reliability Design

Built with forged or cast carbon steel or stainless steel, the valve's low maintenance design reduces downtime and operational costs. The anti blow-out stem and optional locking device provide enhanced safety and security, making it an ideal choice for mission-critical infrastructure.

FAQ's of Side Entry Ball Valve:

Q: How is the Side Entry Ball Valve operated and what actuator options are available?

A: The valve operates with a simple quarter-turn mechanism and can be controlled manually (lever or gear operated), or automatically via electric or pneumatic actuators mounted on ISO 5211 pads.

Q: What is the process for installing the Side Entry Ball Valve in my system?

A: Installation follows the ASME B16.10 face-to-face dimension standard, with end connections available in RF, RTJ, BW, or SW types. Always follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper alignment and tight sealing, depending on system pressure and media.

Q: Where can the Side Entry Ball Valve be applied effectively?

A: It is suitable for a wide range of industries including petrochemical, water treatment, power plants, and oil & gas sectors due to its compatibility with various media-oil, gas, water, and chemicals-and temperature resistance from -29C to 200C.

Q: What benefit does the fire-safe design provide in industrial applications?

A: Certified to API 607 and API 6FA, the fire-safe design ensures that the valve maintains shutoff integrity during fire incidents, providing crucial protection for personnel and equipment in hazardous environments.

Q: When is a float ball type recommended over a trunnion-mounted ball type?

A: Float type is ideal for low pressure and smaller valves, while trunnion-mounted ball design is recommended for high pressure and larger sizes, offering lower operating torque and enhanced sealing under high pressure conditions.

Q: What maintenance is required for this valve and how often should it be performed?

A: The valve features a low maintenance design; periodic inspection of seat integrity and actuator performance is recommended based on operating conditions. Its robust build minimizes routine servicing, often aligning with planned plant maintenance cycles.

Q: Why is an anti-static device important in ball valves for oil, gas, and chemical services?

A: Anti-static devices prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charge between the ball and stem, reducing the risk of sparks that might ignite flammable media. This provides additional safety in volatile applications.
