Product Overview

Designed for high pressure applications, the Forged Steel 3-Way Ball Valve provides reliable and efficient flow control in industrial systems. Constructed of forged steel for superior mechanical strength and pressure resistance, the valve is ideally suited to the demanding environments of oil, gas, petrochemical and power generation. It is primarily used for flow direction switching rather than flow regulation and is available in either L- or T-port configurations. The valve is equipped with flanged connections to ensure a safe and leak-free installation even under high pressure conditions.

Product Characteristics

Forged Steel Construction: These valves are constructed of forged steel materials such as A105, F11, or F22 for superior strength, toughness, and resistance to high pressure. Forged steel valves can withstand pressures up to 5,000 psi, ensuring reliable long-term operation under extreme operating conditions.

Three-way design (L or T): The L model three-way ball valve allows fluid flow to be diverted from one inlet to two outlets and vice versa. It is suitable for applications that require easy switching of flow direction. t-Type 3-way ball valves are designed for fluid mixing or diversion and are often used where efficient mixing or separation of different fluids is required.

FLANGE CONNECTION: The valve features a flanged connection that provides a safe and reliable seal even in high-pressure systems. Flange designs are preferred for high pressure applications because they provide better strength and stability against potential leakage than threaded connections.

PRECISE FLOW DIRECTION CONTROL: The 3-way ball valve is designed for smooth, precise flow direction switching, whether diverting or mixing. Even under high pressure conditions, the valve ensures minimal flow resistance and reliable performance.

High-pressure and high-temperature resistance: The valve can withstand a wide range of operating conditions, from -20°C to 450°C, and up to 5000 psi. This makes it ideal for high-temperature, high-pressure environments.

Corrosion-resistant seals: The valves are equipped with PTFE, PFA, or Viton seals for excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. These materials ensure that the valve performs well in harsh media environments while maintaining tight sealing integrity.

Product Advantages

High Strength Forged Steel: Compared to cast steel valves, forged steel valves have higher strength and toughness, making them ideal for high pressure applications where durability is critical.

Flanged connection for high pressure applications: The flanged connection ensures a solid, leak-free seal under high pressure conditions, making this valve ideal for critical high pressure piping systems.

Efficient flow control: L-port and T-port designs allow for smooth flow switching or fluid mixing to ensure maximum operational flexibility of the process system.

Corrosion resistance for harsh environments: The valve's seals (e.g. PTFE, PFA or Viton) provide excellent protection against corrosive chemicals, ensuring reliable performance even in corrosive environments.

Reliable performance in extreme conditions: The valve excels in high pressure and high temperature conditions, making it ideal for use in the oil and gas, chemical, power generation and refining industries.
