Description

BALL VALVE

• CARBON STEEL, 4″
• CLASS 300,
• RAISED FACE,
• FLANGED,
• WRENCH OPERATED,
• FULL BORE,
• BODY MAT, TO ASTM  A216/WCB,
• TRIM: S.S. 316

 

Material:

• Body: Carbon Steel conforming to ASTM A216/WCB standard. This grade of carbon steel offers good strength and affordability, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
• Trim: Stainless Steel 316. This material provides excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for handling harsh fluids or environments.

Design:

• Flanged: This type of connection uses raised face flanges for bolting the valve to piping systems, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection.
• Wrench Operated: This indicates the valve is operated manually using a wrench.
• Full Bore Body: The internal diameter of the valve body matches the pipe size (4 inches in this case), allowing for minimal pressure drop across the valve.

Applications:

This type of ball valve is commonly used in various industrial applications involving liquids, gases, or slurries. Here are some examples:

• Oil and Gas Industry: Controlling flow in pipelines, refineries, and processing plants.
• Chemical Processing: Regulating flow of chemicals in production lines.
