SS 304 Ball Valve

Product Description

‹SS 304 ball valves are versatile and widely used components in fluid control systems, known for their durability and corrosion resistance. Made from 304-grade stainless steel, these valves are suitable for a variety of applications across different industries.‹

Key Features:

• Corrosion Resistance: SS 304 offers good resistance to corrosion, making these valves suitable for applications involving water, oil, gas, and other fluids.‹

• Pressure Ratings: Standard SS 304 ball valves typically have a working pressure rating of up to 1,000 PSI (6.4 MPa), accommodating a wide range of applications. ‹

• Temperature Range: These valves operate effectively within temperatures ranging from -13F to 302F (-25C to 150C), ensuring versatility in various thermal conditions. ‹

• Design Variations:

• Two-Piece Ball Valves: Consist of two separate pieces, allowing for easier maintenance and offering full port design for unrestricted flow. ‹

• Three-Piece Ball Valves: Feature a body that can be disassembled for cleaning and repairs without removing the valve from the pipeline, ideal for sanitary applications.

When selecting an SS 304 ball valve, consider the following factors:

• Media Compatibility: Ensure that SS 304 is suitable for the specific fluids or gases in your application, particularly if they are mildly corrosive.‹

• Pressure and Temperature Requirements: Verify that the valve's ratings align with your system's operating conditions to maintain safety and functionality.‹

• Connection Types: SS 304 ball valves are available with various end connections, including threaded (NPT, BSP), socket weld, and flanged ends. Choose the appropriate connection type based on your system's design and installation requirements.‹

• Design Configuration: Decide between one-piece, two-piece, or three-piece designs based on maintenance needs, space constraints, and application specifics.
