Fully welded ball valve

Fully Welded Ball Valve

Fully Welded Ball Valve

Fully welded ball valve body is welded from steel pipe. The ball gasket is made of reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene. The valve stem adopts explosion-proof design. Temperature range: -60-200℃.

Fully welded ball valve are widely used in the field of long-distance pipeline such as natural gas, petroleum, heating, chemical and thermoelectric pipeline network.

Application Areas

City gas: gas output pipelines, main lines and various branch lines, etc.
Centralized heat supply: large heating equipment output pipelines, trunk lines, branch lines.
Heat exchangers: pipelines and various circuits to open and close.
Iron and steel mills: all kinds of fluid pipelines, exhaust gas discharge pipelines, gas and heat pipelines, fuel pipelines.
Ball valves are used in all kinds of industrial equipment: all kinds of heat treatment pipeline, all kinds of industrial gas and heat pipeline.

This type of fully welded ball valve is designed according to API 6D, with continuous improvement to meet the open/close.

The body is made up of three pieces welded lighter, higher hardness, compact structure, not only diminishing the flange between bonnet and body, but also decrease the overall dimension and outside leakage point.
