Precision Engineering for ReliabilityEach SQK A182 F51 Duplex Stainless Steel Ball Valve is crafted from duplex stainless steel, ensuring superior strength and resistance to corrosion, especially vital for marine, chemical, and oil & gas industries. The polished or natural finish offers aesthetic appeal as well as additional protection against harsh environments. Optional fire-safe and anti-static designs further reinforce safety and compliance.
Versatile Configurations to Suit Every ApplicationChoose between full bore and single channel configurations, available in two-piece or three-piece body types. End connections can be selected as flanged or butt weld, adhering to ANSI, BS, or DIN standards, making these valves suitable for a wide range of pipelines. PTFE, RPTFE, or metal seats provide compatibility with various media, including aggressive chemicals and high-temperature environments.
Designed with User Safety and Maintenance in MindWith features like blow-out proof stem, ISO 5211 mounting pad for easy actuator assembly, and passivated surfaces for improved hygiene, the valve not only provides seamless operation but also simplifies maintenance and ensures long-term safety. Its handle, made from stainless steel 304 or 316, guarantees durability during manual operation.
FAQ's of SQK A182 F51 Duplex Stainless Steel Ball Valve:
Q: How does the SQK A182 F51 Duplex Stainless Steel Ball Valve ensure leakproof performance?
A: The valve achieves reliable leakproof performance thanks to its Class VI leakage rating, precision seat options (PTFE, RPTFE, or metal), and rigorous API 598 testing. These elements, combined with full bore construction and robust sealing, enable minimal fluid loss even under high pressure.
Q: What industries or applications are best suited for this duplex stainless steel ball valve?
A: This valve is ideal for use in industrial, pharmaceutical, chemical, marine, and oil & gas applications. Its exceptional corrosion resistance and compliance with international standards make it suitable for handling aggressive media such as chemicals, water, oil, and gas in demanding environments.
Q: When should I opt for a fire-safe and anti-static ball valve design?
A: Fire-safe and anti-static features are crucial when the valve is used with flammable fluids or in environments where static build-up could pose ignition risks. These options provide enhanced safety and ensure compliance with stringent industry regulations, especially in oil & gas or chemical sectors.
Q: What is the process for installing and maintaining the A182 F51 ball valve?
A: Installation involves aligning the flanged or butt-weld connections with corresponding pipeline flanges, securing them according to ANSI, BS, or DIN standards. The passivated finish and blow-out proof stem facilitate easier maintenance, while the ISO 5211 mounting pad ensures straightforward actuator or manual handle attachment.
Q: Where is this duplex stainless steel ball valve manufactured and distributed?
A: This valve is manufactured, exported, and supplied from India, reaching customers worldwide through a network of distributors, suppliers, and traders, ensuring accessible support and product availability for various market needs.
Q: How does the choice of seat material impact valve usage?
A: Selecting PTFE, RPTFE, or metal seats allows customization for specific media and temperature requirements. PTFE and RPTFE are suited for aggressive chemicals and higher temperatures, while metal seats are chosen for severe service conditions, providing extended durability and performance.
