2. Main Features
-
Metal Seated: Ball coated with tungsten carbide or Stellite; seat hardfaced with Stellite alloy. Excellent wear, erosion, and high-temperature resistance.
-
2-Piece Body: Compact construction, easy maintenance. Body joint secured with high-strength bolting.
-
Floating Ball: Under line pressure, the ball shifts slightly against the downstream seat, ensuring tight shut-off under high differential pressure.
-
Blowout-Proof Stem: Stem is designed to prevent ejection under high-pressure conditions.
-
A105N Body: Normalized carbon steel body provides improved toughness and grain structure, ideal for high-pressure and moderate high-temperature services.

6. Operating Torque & Actuator Sizing Considerations
-
Seat Preload: Spring-loaded metal seats add initial breakaway torque.
-
High-Temperature Effects: Thermal expansion increases torque at elevated temperatures.
-
Safety Factor: Actuator output torque should be at least 1.2 to 1.5 times the maximum measured valve torque.
7. Typical Applications
-
Refinery fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units
-
Power plant boiler feedwater and main steam systems
-
High-temperature thermal oil circuits
-
High-pressure natural gas transmission
-
Coal chemical industry – ash water & black water service
