Product Overview

The 1500LB (lb) ball valve is a high performance fluid control device designed for industry critical applications requiring a rugged, reliable, durable valve solution. This class of valve is designed for high-pressure environments to ensure optimum performance under severe conditions. The ball valve design provides excellent shut-off capability and minimal pressure drop, making it ideal for a variety of industrial processes.

Main features and advantages

High voltage rating:Rated at 1500 PSI (103.4 bar) to ensure reliable performance in high pressure applications.

High temperature resistance:Depending on the materials and seals used, they can operate effectively over a wide temperature range (-29°C to +427°C).

Material quality:Made of high quality materials such as forged carbon steel or stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance.

Full bore design:Ensures minimal pressure drop and smooth media paths, resulting in increased system efficiency.

Excellent sealing performance:Precision-engineered seats and seals provide reliable shutoff and prevent leakage even under severe operating conditions.

Fast switching capability:Operates with a quarter-turn mechanism for quick opening and closing, resulting in increased operational safety and responsiveness.

Multiple drive options:Manual handles or automatic actuators (pneumatic, electric) are available to meet different control requirements.

Easy to maintain:Modular construction facilitates direct disassembly and maintenance, minimizing downtime.

Suitable Media

The 1500LB ball valve is compatible with a wide range of media, including:
Liquids: water, oil, chemical solvents, acids, alkalis, slurries and abrasive liquids
Gases: air, natural gas, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and inert gases
Steam: saturated or superheated
Mixed fluids: solutions, emulsions and suspensions containing solid particles

Operating Conditions

The valves excel in a variety of critical industrial environments and are particularly suited to the following industries:
Oil and gas industry: management of hydrocarbons and their associated fluids during extraction, refining and transportation.
Chemical Processing: Handling of corrosive chemicals and solvents in a continuous process.
Power generation: regulates steam and cooling water in thermal power plants.
Petrochemical plants: control of process fluids under extreme temperature and pressure conditions.
Pharmaceutical: Maintains purity and sterility during the transportation of pharmaceutical liquids and gases.
Environmental engineering: control of wastewater and emissions from treatment facilities.
