Titanium Electric V-Port Ball Valves: Gr1 and Gr2, 8-Inch, Class 150, DN 15-250 for Water Supply

Product Introduction:

Special material ball valves come in various types, including two-way, three-way, and four-way configurations. These valves are available in both soft-seal and hard-seal designs, with floating and trunnion-mounted options. Crafted from high-performance materials like titanium, nickel, zirconium, Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel, duplex stainless steel, 904L, Alloy 20, and C4 steel, these valves excel in harsh environments. They offer superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and reliability for a wide range of industrial applications.

Grades of Titanium Ball Valves:

Titanium ball valves, renowned for their corrosion resistance and strength, are ideal for demanding environments such as chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, and marine engineering:

• TA1 (Gr1): Pure titanium with excellent ductility and toughness, easy to form and weld.

• TA2 (Gr2): Pure titanium with good corrosion resistance and moderate strength, also easy to form and weld.

• TA9 (Gr7): Titanium alloyed with 0.12-0.25% palladium (Pd) for enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly in reducing environments.

• TA10 (Gr12): Titanium alloy containing molybdenum (Mo) and nickel (Ni) for increased strength and heat resistance while maintaining good corrosion resistance.

• TC4 (Gr5): Titanium alloy with 6% aluminum (Al) and 4% vanadium (V), offering high strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and low density.

Advantages of Using Ball Valves in Industrial Applications:

Ball valves are celebrated for their compact design, reliable sealing, straightforward construction, and ease of maintenance. Their sealing surfaces and spherical component are typically positioned in a closed state, reducing the risk of erosion from the medium. These valves are user-friendly and require minimal upkeep, making them suitable for a variety of media such as water, solvents, acids, natural gas, and more aggressive substances like oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane, and ethylene. Their versatility and durability make them popular across many industries. The valve body can be constructed as a single piece or assembled from multiple sections.

Main Features of Ball Valves:

• Minimal Fluid Resistance: The resistance coefficient is equivalent to that of a pipe segment of the same length.

• Simple Structure, Compact Size, Lightweight: Ball valves are designed for ease, being both compact and lightweight.

• Reliable Sealing: Ball valves commonly use plastic materials for sealing surfaces, offering excellent sealing performance and suitability for vacuum systems.

• Ease of Operation: A 90° rotation is all that is needed to fully open or close the valve, allowing for efficient remote control.

• Convenient Maintenance: The straightforward design and removable sealing rings facilitate easy disassembly and replacement.

• Isolation of Sealing Surfaces: When fully open or closed, the ball and valve seat sealing surfaces are isolated from the medium, preventing erosion during passage.

Applications of Three-Way Titanium Ball Valves:

Three-way titanium ball valves find diverse applications across various industrial sectors due to their unique properties:

• Chemical Industry: With titanium's excellent corrosion resistance, these valves are ideal for managing corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, and oxides in chemical production processes.

• Aerospace Field: Thanks to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics, three-way titanium ball valves are widely used in aerospace hydraulic and fuel systems, meeting the demanding requirements of aircraft.

• Food and Pharmaceutical Industries: Titanium's non-toxic nature and lack of contamination make these valves a preferred choice for fluid control in food processing and pharmaceutical applications.

• Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry: They are essential in controlling the flow and pressure of fluids during the extraction, transportation, and processing of petroleum and natural gas, ensuring system safety and stability.

• Marine Engineering: Their resistance to seawater corrosion makes them suitable for marine applications, including fluid control systems in subsea pipelines and offshore platforms.
