Forged Aluminum Bronze (C95800) Two-Piece Floating Ball Valve
Description
Forged Aluminum Bronze (C95800) Two-Piece Floating Ball Valve – Technical Datasheet
1. Product Overview
This product is a high-performance Forged Aluminum Bronze Ball Valve, specifically designed for severe corrosive environments, particularly seawater and marine applications. As shown in the provided images, it features a robust two-piece body made of C95800 (Nickel Aluminum Bronze), a floating ball design, and a top mounting pad for pneumatic actuation. The valve body is clearly marked with “SAVVY”, “1” (1 inch), “150” (Class 150), and “C95800”. It offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, erosion, and cavitation, making it the ideal choice for desalination plants, shipbuilding, offshore oil and gas, and chemical processing.

5. Key Features
-
Superior Seawater Corrosion Resistance: The C95800 forged aluminum bronze body offers outstanding resistance to seawater corrosion, pitting, and erosion, significantly outperforming standard brass or stainless steel in marine environments.
-
Two-Piece Floating Ball Design: The two-piece body allows for easy maintenance and replacement of the ball, seats, and seals. The floating ball design ensures tight bi-directional sealing, even at low pressures.
-
Pneumatic Actuation Ready: The valve is equipped with a top mounting bracket (pad) that complies with ISO 5211 standards. This allows for quick and easy installation of a pneumatic actuator (double-acting or spring-return) to upgrade the valve for automated control.
-
Blow-Out Proof Stem: The stem is designed with an anti-blow-out feature, ensuring safety in high-pressure applications.
-
Anti-Static Device (Optional): The ball, stem, and body are electrically bonded to prevent static electricity buildup, which is critical in chemical and gas applications.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: The forged material provides a denser, stronger structure compared to castings, ensuring reliability under high mechanical stress and vibration.
