Advantages
High - Pressure and High - Temperature Resistance: Thanks to their robust construction and fixed - ball design, top - entry flanged fixed ball valves can withstand high pressures and temperatures, making them suitable for applications in industries like oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation.
Reliable Sealing: The fixed - ball design, combined with high - quality sealing materials, ensures excellent sealing performance. They can provide bidirectional sealing, preventing leakage in both flow directions, which is crucial for applications where fluid containment is essential.
Low Torque Operation: The design minimizes the friction between the ball and the seat, resulting in low - torque operation. This not only reduces the energy required for operation but also extends the service life of the valve and its associated actuators.
Easy Maintenance: One of the significant advantages is the ease of maintenance. Since the components are accessible from the top, internal parts such as the ball, seat, and stem can be inspected, repaired, or replaced without removing the valve from the pipeline. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Versatility: These valves are suitable for a wide range of media, including corrosive fluids, abrasive slurries, and high - purity substances. They can be customized with different materials and coatings to meet specific application requirements.
