Construction and Design:
- Two-Piece Design: The two-piece design allows for easy maintenance and replacement
of parts, improving the overall service life of the valve.
- Full Port: The full port design ensures minimal pressure drop and smooth,
unrestricted flow through the valve.
- Fire-Safe Sealing: The fire-safe features are designed to prevent leakage in case of
fire exposure, making the valve suitable for critical applications
where safety is a priority.
Working Principle:
The Titanium Ball Valve operates by rotating a spherical ball inside the valve body. The
ball has a hole through its center, which aligns with the flow path
when the valve is open. When the valve handle is turned 90 degrees,
the ball rotates, blocking or allowing the flow of fluid through
the pipe. The design ensures tight sealing even under high
pressures and temperatures, providing reliable control in diverse
operating conditions.
Conclusion:
The ANSI Class 150 Titanium Ball Valve is an excellent choice for industries that require reliable,
durable, and corrosion-resistant valves. Its fire-safe design, full port configuration, and use of TA2 titanium alloy make it highly suitable for applications in oil & gas, chemical
processing, power generation, and water treatment. The valve’s
robust construction, ease of operation, and long service life
provide cost-effective solutions for complex fluid control systems.
Whether you're dealing with high-pressure systems, corrosive media,
or extreme temperatures, this titanium ball valve offers superior
performance and safety.
