API Stainless Steel Cast Ball Valve
Technical Requirement:
- Design and Manufacture: API 6D
- Face to Face: ASME B16.10
- Flange End: ASME B16.5
- 4 Test: API 598
Description
The API 6D Stainless Steel Ball Valve is a high-reliability flow control component designed for demanding industrial systems. Manufactured by investment (precision) casting or sand casting and machined to strict API standards, this valve offers superior corrosion resistance, structural strength, and hygienic properties. It is the ideal solution for isolating or regulating flow in environments where aggressive media, high stress, or strict sanitary requirements are present.
Technical Specifications:
- Pressure Class: Class 150 – 600 (ASME B16.34)
- Size Range: NPS 1/2″ to 12″ (DN15 to DN300) (Standard industry range for API 6D SS ball valves)
- Applicable Medium: Water, Steam, Oil, Gas, Aggressive Chemicals, and Sanitary Fluids
- Operating Temperature: -29°C to 200°C (Standard PTFE Seat)
Main Parts and Materials:
| Parts Name | Materials |
| Body | ASTM A351 |
| Ball | ASTM A965 |
| Seat Ring | PTFE |
Key Product Features:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from premium-grade stainless steel, providing exceptional resistance to rust, saltwater, and aggressive chemical corrosion.
- Precision Casting Quality: Manufactured via investment or sand casting, ensuring high dimensional accuracy, structural integrity, and a high-quality surface finish.
- High Strength & Durability: Engineered to withstand high pressures and temperatures without deforming, ensuring a long service life in high-stress environments.
- Hygienic & Easy to Clean: The smooth stainless steel surface does not harbor bacteria, making it highly suitable for food processing and pharmaceutical applications.
- Reliable Sealing: Equipped with PTFE seat rings (with metal seat options available) to ensure bubble-tight shut-off and low operating torque.
Applications:
Ideal for critical flow isolation in the Oil & Gas, Chemical Processing, Food & Beverage, and Pharmaceutical industries. Specifically designed for applications involving aggressive chemicals, marine/saltwater environments, or where strict hygiene, cleanliness, and corrosion resistance are mandatory.
