Product Technical Specifications:

Key Features:

1. High-Performance Material: The Titanium Ball Valve is crafted from high-grade titanium alloys (Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3), each offering unique benefits for specific applications.

   • Grade 1 Titanium (Commercially Pure Titanium): Offers excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for general applications in mild environments.
   • Grade 2 Titanium: Known for its superior strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for more aggressive environments.
   • Grade 3 Titanium: A stronger alloy, providing enhanced mechanical properties, making it ideal for high-pressure and high-stress applications in the oil and gas sector.

2. ANSI Class Ratings (150 & 300): The ball valve is available in ANSI Class 150 and Class 300 configurations, making it suitable for a wide range of pressure and temperature requirements in oil and gas operations. ANSI Class 150 is designed for moderate pressure conditions, while Class 300 handles higher pressure settings, ensuring reliability under various system demands.

3. Corrosion Resistance: Titanium is renowned for its excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in environments exposed to harsh chemicals, acidic fluids, and seawater, which are common in the oil and gas industry. This resistance ensures the valve's longevity and reduces the need for frequent replacements or repairs, leading to lower maintenance costs.

4. Lightweight and Strong: Titanium's low density, approximately 60% that of steel, provides a significant weight reduction while maintaining high tensile strength. This makes the ball valve an ideal solution where weight is a concern, such as in offshore oil rigs or other applications where minimizing weight without compromising on strength is essential.

5. Durability and Performance: Titanium’s high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance allow these valves to withstand harsh operational conditions, including high pressure, fluctuating temperatures, and cyclic loading. The titanium ball valve's durability ensures it will perform reliably in critical oil and gas applications over the long term.

6. Leak-Free Operation: The 2-inch titanium ball valve features a precise and reliable sealing mechanism that ensures leak-free operation under high-pressure conditions. This is particularly important in oil and gas systems, where any leakage can result in safety risks, environmental hazards, or operational inefficiencies.

7. Versatile Applications: This titanium ball valve is ideal for use in a variety of oil and gas applications, including upstream exploration, midstream transportation, and downstream refining processes. It is especially beneficial in applications where exposure to corrosive fluids, high-pressure conditions, or extreme temperatures is common.
