SS316 (CF8M) I.C. Three Pcs Ball Valve Flange End (ASA150#) 21/2”Inch (65mm)

A stainless steel (SS) three-piece flanged-end ball valve is a robust flow-control component widely used in industrial applications for various media like water, oil, air, gases, and steam. Its design allows for easy maintenance and cleaning without removing the entire valve from the pipeline.

Key Features and Specifications
Material: Available primarily in Stainless Steel SS 304 (CF8) and SS 316 (CF8M), offering excellent corrosion resistance.

Design: Features a three-piece body construction, which allows the central body section containing the ball to be removed for servicing.

End Connection: Equipped with flanged ends designed to standards like ASME B16.5 Class 150 (or higher classes like 300#) or PN16, ensuring secure, leak-proof connections.

Bore Type: Typically full bore (or full port), which ensures unrestricted flow and minimal pressure drop.

Seating: Utilizes durable materials like PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) or reinforced PTFE for reliable and leak-proof sealing, even under high pressure.

Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Can handle medium to high pressures, with typical maximum working pressure around 21 kg/cm²g (300 psig) and a maximum working temperature of up to 220°C (428°F).

Operation: Generally operated manually with a lever, but also compatible with pneumatic or electric actuators for automation.

Safety Features: Often includes features like a blow-out proof stem and anti-static devices for enhanced safety in critical applications.
