Characteristics of Trunnion Ball Valves with Metal Seat

Our metal seated ball valves are designed to provide exceptional performance in harsh industrial conditions. Manufactured from high-strength materials, these valves are ideal for handling abrasive fluids and operating at high temperatures.

Advantages

Metal seat valves offer superior durability and long service life. Their ability to resist erosion, abrasion and high temperatures makes them ideal for industrial applications where reliable and safe performance is required. Additionally, they require less maintenance, reducing long-term operating costs.

Common Applications

These valves are perfect for the petrochemical industry, power plants, and the mining and metallurgical industries. They are essential in the handling of corrosive and abrasive fluids, as well as in high pressure and high temperature systems. Their robust design and ability to operate in extreme conditions make them a preferred choice in many industrial sectors.

1. Metallic Seats:

   • The seats are made of metallic materials instead of polymers or elastomers, providing greater resistance to wear and abrasion.
   • Ideal for handling fluids with solid particles, high temperatures and severe operating conditions.

2. Sturdy Construction:

   • Generally made of stainless steel, carbon steel or other high-strength alloys.
   • Robust design enables reliable performance in extreme conditions.

3. Hermetic Sealing:

   • Despite having metal seats, these valves are designed to provide a tight seal thanks to precise machining and a perfect fit between the ball and seats.

4. Extreme Durability:

   • High resistance to erosion, corrosion and high temperatures, resulting in long service life even in the most difficult conditions.
   • They require less maintenance and have lower failure rates compared to soft seat valves.

5. Flexible Operation:

   • Available with manual, pneumatic, hydraulic or electric drive.
   • Full or reduced bore options to suit different flow needs
