SS304 (CF8) I.C. Three Pcs Ball Valve Screwed End 11/2”Inch (40mm)

IC 3 PCS BALL VALVE SCREWED END–Investment-cast (IC) 3-piece ball valves with screwed ends, often made from Stainless Steel (SS304/CF8 or SS316/CF8M), are designed for easy in-line maintenance, allowing for quick repair or cleaning without removing the pipe. Featuring a full-bore, quarter-turn design, these durable valves are ideal for controlling fluid/gas flow in various industrial applications.

Key Specifications
Material: Typically Stainless Steel (SS) 304 (CF8) or SS 316 (CF8M) for body and ball, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

Design: A three-piece body construction allows the center body section, containing the ball and seats, to be removed for easy maintenance or replacement without disturbing the pipeline connection.

End Connection: Features screwed or threaded ends for secure connection to pipelines.

Bore: Generally a full bore (full port) design, which provides unrestricted flow and minimal pressure drop.

Pressure Rating: Often rated for high pressure, with common ratings around 150# or up to 60 kg/cm².

Temperature Range: Capable of handling a wide range of temperatures, such as from 5°C to 300°C.

Sealing: Uses tight-fitting seals, often made of PTFE (Teflon), to provide leak-proof operation.

Common Applications
Due to their robust construction and material properties, these valves are widely used across many industries:

Oil and Gas Industry: Used in refineries and pipelines to withstand harsh conditions and corrosive fluids.

Chemical Processing: Ideal for controlling the flow of various corrosive chemicals.

Water Treatment: Employed in water treatment facilities for regulating water flow.

Food and Beverage Industry: Selected for hygienic properties in processing plants.

Pharmaceutical Industry: Critical for manufacturing processes requiring sterility and cleanliness.
