Description

The piping valve is available with floating ball and with full or reduced bore.

The piping ball valve has been designed to meet the requirements of the process industry, especially for natural gas and aggressive media applications.

Model PBV-FS valves are used for process shut-off or pressure tapping. The compact design integrates one or two shut-off valves and a vent valve. This allows using an arrangement of ball valves and needle valves in single or double block-and-bleed configuration.

The valve seat design of the valve body ensures high durability and tightness. This valve fulfils the fugitive emission requirements per ISO 15848-1, tightness class B and is type tested for fire safety in accordance with API 607.

The super-finished machining of the internal parts allows a very smooth and precise operation, even at high pressures and after long periods without valve operation. The surface finish is also minimising corrosion with aggressive media and makes it easier to clean.
