Frequently Asked Questions
What is the design code for this Ball Valve?
This ball valve is designed and manufactured as per API 608 standard, which covers metal ball valves with flanged, threaded, and welding ends for petroleum and natural gas industries.
What type of seat material is used?
The seat is made of SS316 stainless steel with weld overlay cladding, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability for metal-to-metal sealing.
Why is gear operation used for this valve?
Gear operation is used for large bore valves (12 inch) because it provides mechanical advantage, making it easier to operate the valve and providing precise control over the ball position.
