3. Technical Parameters & Performance
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Medium | Water, Wastewater, Slurries, Sewage, Fluids with Solids (____________________) |
| Operating Temp. | -20°C ~ +100°C (EPDM Lining) |
| Max Operating Pressure | Up to 200 psi / 16 bar (Depending on pressure class) |
| Flow Direction | Horizontal or Vertical Upwards (Ball lifts to open) |
| Sealing | Bubble Tight Shut-Off (Soft-Seated) |
| Lining Material | EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) – Excellent for water, abrasion resistance, and mild chemicals |
| Ball Action | Free floating ball lifts off seat when flow enters, drops back to seal when flow reverses |
| Features | Non-slam operation, ideal for dirty fluids and slurries |
4. Test Pressure (Reference: Class 150 / PN16)
| Pressure Rating | Shell (Hydrostatic) | Seat (Hydrostatic) | Low Pressure Seat (Air) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 150 | 425 psi (2.9 MPa) | 315 psi (2.2 MPa) | 50 – 80 psi (0.34 – 0.55 MPa) |
| PN16 | 24 bar (2.4 MPa) | 17.6 bar (1.76 MPa) | 0.6 bar (0.06 MPa) |
| *(Note: Specific values shall be performed per API 598 / EN 12266.)* |
