Engineered for Reliable Zero-Leakage PerformanceSoft Seat Ball Valves deliver Class VI leakage rates, utilizing PTFE or RPTFE soft seats for excellent sealing capabilities. Whether for water, oil, gas, or corrosive media, the valves ensure zero leakage performance, making them highly dependable for critical processes across multiple industries, including chemical and water treatment. The robust design is supported by strict adherence to international standards, guaranteeing reliable operation.
Versatile Design and Flexible OperationChoose from full bore or reduced bore ball configurations to suit your flow requirements. The valve offers two-piece or three-piece structures, operates with a simple quarter turn, and supports various actuation modes-manual, pneumatic, or electric. Available in a wide range of sizes and customizable finishes, it fits seamlessly into diverse systems via compliant flanged, screwed, or socket weld connections.
Corrosion Resistance and Long-Term DurabilityConstructed from high-quality stainless steel, carbon steel, or cast iron, these ball valves provide exceptional corrosion resistance. They are suitable for a variety of media, including aggressive chemicals and gases, and can withstand temperatures from -29C to +200C. Each valve is rigorously tested to API 598 and EN 12266 standards, ensuring long-lasting, safe performance in tough environments.
FAQ's of Soft Seat Ball Valve:
Q: How do Soft Seat Ball Valves achieve zero leakage (Class VI)?
A: Soft Seat Ball Valves utilize PTFE or RPTFE seat materials that conform closely to the ball surface, creating a tight seal that prevents any fluid from passing through. This advanced sealing technology, combined with precision engineering, ensures compliance with Class VI leakage standards, providing absolute shutoff even in demanding conditions.
Q: What materials are available for these valves and their benefits?
A: You can select from stainless steel, carbon steel, or cast iron for the valve body. Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance for aggressive media, carbon steel is ideal for oil and gas applications requiring strength, while cast iron is suited for water treatment. These options let you tailor the valve's durability and chemical compatibility to your application needs.
Q: Where can the Soft Seat Ball Valve be installed?
A: This valve is suitable for installation in industrial, chemical, oil & gas, and water treatment facilities. With various end connections including flanged, screwed, and socket weld, it integrates easily with piping systems built to ANSI, DIN, or JIS standards, ensuring global compatibility.
Q: When should I consider using a full bore versus a reduced bore ball valve?
A: Use a full bore ball valve when maximum flow and minimal pressure drop are required, as the opening matches your pipe diameter. Opt for a reduced bore ball valve if space or cost is a major consideration, and your process can accommodate a slightly smaller flow area.
Q: How is the fire-safe design implemented in these valves?
A: If selected, the fire-safe design incorporates specialized seals and secondary metal-to-metal sealing features that maintain valve integrity and prevent leaks, even during high-temperature fire scenarios. This ensures safety in petrochemical or hazardous settings.
Q: What is the process for testing and quality assurance of these ball valves?
A: Each valve is tested according to API 598 and EN 12266 standards for strength and leakage. This includes hydrostatic and pneumatic tests to verify sealing performance, pressure containment, and overall build quality, ensuring reliable, safe operation before delivery.
Q: What are the typical benefits of choosing this valve for corrosive or high-pressure media?
A: Selecting this valve ensures long-term, leak-free operation even with corrosive or high-pressure media, thanks to high-quality seat materials, corrosion-resistant bodies, and robust design standards. You also benefit from a blow-out proof stem and optional fire-safe features for enhanced safety.
