2-Piece Titanium Floating Ball Valve (Ti Gr1, Gr2) – ANSI Class 150 & Class 300 – Flanged End Connection for Acetic Acid Flow

Product Introduction:

A ball valve is a key component in industrial piping systems that controls the flow of fluids through the rotation of a spherical ball with a central hole. Ball valves are appreciated for their simple structure, ease of operation, and robust sealing capabilities, making them ideal for managing fluid flow in a variety of sectors such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, water treatment, and HVAC systems.

The 2-piece titanium floating ball valve is a particular type of ball valve that combines the exceptional properties of titanium with the versatile floating ball design. Titanium is chosen for its superior corrosion resistance, especially in aggressive environments, and for applications involving highly corrosive media such as acetic acid. The floating ball design enhances sealing performance by allowing the ball to move slightly under pressure, ensuring a tight and reliable seal at the outlet end of the valve.

This valve is available with ANSI Class 150 and Class 300 pressure ratings, making it suitable for a wide range of pressure conditions. It is specifically designed for flanged end connections, which are common in systems requiring high reliability and easy installation. This valve’s unique design allows for minimal fluid resistance, ensuring efficient flow and operational longevity.

Key Features:

1. Titanium Construction (TA1, TA2):

   • Titanium Grade TA1 and TA2 are commonly used in environments where high corrosion resistance is essential. These grades are particularly well-suited for handling aggressive acids like acetic acid due to their outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
   • Titanium also offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal stability, making it ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

2. Floating Ball Design:

   • The floating ball inside the valve is not fixed but allowed to float within the valve body. The ball is pushed against the sealing surface at the valve's outlet by the pressure of the fluid, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal. This feature provides superior sealing performance, especially in medium-pressure systems, such as Class 150 and Class 300.

3. Flanged End Connections:

   • The valve is designed with flanged ends that conform to the ANSI standards (ANSI B16.5 or ANSI B16.34). Flanged ends are often preferred in large-diameter pipelines or where there is a need for easier installation, maintenance, and a secure, leak-tight connection.

4. Pressure Ratings:

   • The valve is available in two pressure rating options: Class 150 and Class 300, ensuring compatibility with a variety of operating conditions. Class 150 is ideal for moderate-pressure applications, while Class 300 can handle higher pressures.

5. Applications with Acetic Acid:

   • Due to its corrosion resistance, the floating titanium ball valve is particularly suitable for handling acetic acid and other acidic or corrosive fluids in chemical processing systems.
   • Titanium’s resistance to corrosion and the valve’s robust sealing capabilities make it a safe and reliable choice for industries dealing with aggressive media.
