Cast steel fixed ball valve 5

Description

Cast steel fixed ball valve 5

The Cast Steel Fixed Ball Valve 5 is a heavy-duty industrial valve developed for reliable performance in demanding fluid control systems. It features a trunnion-mounted ball configuration that offers enhanced stability, reduced operational torque, and prolonged seat life. This makes it especially suitable for applications where consistent shutoff, resistance to pressure fluctuations, and high flow integrity are critical.

Made from top-grade cast steel, this fixed ball valve ensures superior mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Its robust structure provides resilience against thermal stress, mechanical vibrations, and aggressive process media. It is widely applied in power plants, petrochemical facilities, natural gas pipelines, waterworks, and offshore oil platforms, thanks to its capacity to function under extreme conditions without compromising flow accuracy.

The trunnion-mounted ball remains fixed in position and is supported by upper and lower bearings, minimizing stress on the valve seats. This design not only decreases friction but also improves durability and sealing efficiency. The valve is compatible with both soft and metal-seated options, offering optimal performance whether the medium is water, steam, oil, gas, or chemicals. Its bi-directional sealing capacity provides added flexibility in system design and operation.

Safety is a core feature of this valve. It complies with API 6D and ASME B16.34 standards and incorporates fire-safe design in accordance with API 607 and ISO 10497, making it ideal for hazardous environments. Anti-static devices, a blowout-proof stem, and double-block-and-bleed capability ensure operational safety and leak prevention, even during emergencies or maintenance.

The Cast Steel Fixed Ball Valve 5 supports multiple actuation options, from manual handles to electric and pneumatic actuators. An ISO 5211 mounting pad is integrated into the body, allowing for seamless actuator installation. Whether you need remote automation or on-site operation, this valve adapts easily to your system’s control requirements.

Installation is made simple with a range of connection types, including flanged, butt-welded, and socket-welded ends. The valve is available in full or reduced bore options, allowing system designers to choose between maximum flow efficiency or reduced flow rates. The precision-machined body and seals provide tight shutoff capability and minimal maintenance over extended service periods.

In addition, the cast steel body provides excellent thermal and pressure stability, even during rapid cycling or high-volume throughput. Its rugged construction makes it ideal for both underground and above-ground installations. Designed for minimal maintenance, it features a two- or three-piece body construction that allows for inline servicing and part replacement without dismantling the entire valve assembly.

The Cast Steel Fixed Ball Valve 5 is not just a valve—it’s a strategic component in achieving system efficiency, safety, and durability in industrial piping systems. It ensures smooth operations, lowers downtime, and provides engineers with a trusted solution for modern fluid control challenges.
