6-Inch Two-Way Ball Valve Made of Titanium Gr 2 & Gr 5

The 6-Inch Two-Way Ball Valve crafted from Gr 2 (CP Titanium) and Gr 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is engineered to perform in challenging industrial environments. These titanium grades are selected for their remarkable combination of corrosion resistance, strength, and lightweight properties, making this valve suitable for diverse applications in the chemical, oil and gas, aerospace, and marine industries.

Titanium Grades Overview

• Gr 2 Titanium (Commercially Pure): This grade is widely recognized for its superior corrosion resistance, particularly in environments involving saltwater, chlorides, and high temperatures. It is highly suitable for applications where chemical exposure and corrosion resistance are critical, such as in marine and chemical processing industries.

• Gr 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V): Known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, Gr 5 titanium is a blend of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium. It offers outstanding tensile strength and fatigue resistance, making it ideal for high-performance applications, such as in aerospace, high-pressure systems, and oil and gas sectors.

Key Features of the Valve

• Two-Way Flow Control: The valve provides flexible flow control with bi-directional functionality, allowing it to manage fluid flow in both directions as required.
• High-Pressure Performance: Designed for high-pressure systems, the valve is built to endure and function effectively in demanding conditions, offering reliability even under challenging circumstances.
• Corrosion Resistance: Both Gr 2 and Gr 5 titanium alloys offer excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive substances, including chlorides, acids, and seawater, ensuring longevity in harsh environments.
• Temperature Resistance: The valve is engineered to handle temperatures up to 450°C, making it suitable for use in both high-temperature and high-pressure systems without compromising performance.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: The combination of Gr 2 and Gr 5 titanium ensures that the valve can withstand physical stress, offering prolonged service life and minimal wear.
