Autoclave Engineers high-pressure ball valves have been designed to
provide superior quality for maximum performance within a variety of valve
styles, sizes and process connections. Some of the more unique design
innovations include an integral one-piece trunnion-mounted style ball and stem
that eliminates the shear failure common in two piece designs, re-torqueable
seat glands that result in longer seat life, and a low friction stem seal that
reduces actuation torque and enhances cycle life.
These ball valves can also be modified to incorporate the use of special
materials, seals for high temperature applications, subsea models, and valve
actuators.
When it comes to high pressure applications, these ball valves with the
associated high pressure components, provide the critical performance demanded
by the high pressure market.
AE Ball Valve features:
 | One piece, trunnion mounted style, stem design eliminates shear failure
and reduces the effects of side loading found in two piece designs. |
 | Re-torqueable seat glands for longer seat life. |
 | PEEK seats offer excellent resistance to chemicals, heat and water/wear
abrasion. |
 | Full-port flow path minimizes pressure drop. |
 | 316 cold worked stainless steel construction. |
 | Low friction pressure assisted graphite-filled Teflon stem seal increases
cycle life and reduces operating torque. |
 | Quarter turn from open to close with positive stop. |
 | Viton o-rings for operation from 0°F (-17.8°C) to 400°F (204°C). |
 | Optional o-rings available for high temperature applications. |
 | Optional wetted materials. |
 | Wide selection of tube and pipe end fittings available. |
 | Electric and pneumatic actuator options. |
