Metal Seated Ball Valve
Description
Metal Seated Ball Valve is manufactured for high temperatures up to 540℃ (may be higher based on the material of the body and trim) or abrasion resistance.
What is a Metal Seated Ball Valve?
ZECO metal seated ball valve is suitable for high temperature and high pressure special medium or medium with particles in the pipeline. Metal seated ball valve type selection based on different working conditions of the analysis and calculation, choosing suitable working conditions of the hardness of the material hardness, to adopt advanced technology of spray welding on the surface of a sphere and valve seat sealing surface for special processing, grinding with hard-sphere, and seat sealing surface makes the fit precision no leakage.
Types of Metal Seated Ball Valves
- Metal Seated Trunnion Mounted Ball Valves are split-body, trunnion-mounted ball valves with spring-loaded seats with cavity relief, they are double block-and-bleed capability.
- Metal seated Floating ball valve is with Zero leakage for hightemperature operating conditions. Furthermore, seats with hard surface materials in Chromium Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, or Stellite are also available. All Relia floating ball valves are Antistatic Design and Automatic Body Cavity Relief.
Applications of Metal Seated Ball Valves
- Oil & Gas
- Refining / Petrochemical
- Chemical Process
- Power Generation
- Pulp & Paper
- Mining
Features of Metal Seat Ball Valve:
- Absolute Fire Safe Guarantee. ZECO metal seated ball valves are absolutely fire safe design. Metal-to-metal contact is designed between the ball and the seat, where is an unconditional fire safe function. Flexible graphite gasket can prevent fluid leakage from between body & seat or body & adapter even if high temperature environments to reach fire-safe purposes. In addition, other sealing components such as stem packing can also reach fire-safe function and prevent external leakage. So all parts of the valve will not be affected by high temperature service.
- Low Pressure Reliable Sealing. ZECO metal seated ball valves adopt a seat spring structure, which can push the upstream seat tightly against the ball surface creating a reliable sealing even if at extremely low pressure.
- ZECO metal seated ball valve switch torque light. Because the bottom of the sealing ring spring seal ring with the ball closely together, as long as the switch torque exceeds the pre-load of the spring when the switch will be very light, and in the configuration of electric actuator, one can choose than other brands of the metal seated ball valve a small number of the electric actuator;
- ZECO metal seated ball valves for high temperature has a long service life. General soft seated ball valves working temperature is limited up to 400°F, but metal-seated ball valves are guaranteed a maximum service temperature of 800 °F.
- Blow-out Proof Stem & Anti-Static Device. As general ball valves, ZECO metal seated ball valves is provided with blow-out proof stem& anti-static device.
