Three Piece Stainless Steel Ball Valve AISI304 4''

Three-Piece Stainless Steel Ball Valve AISI304 4'': Superior Control and Ease of Maintenance in Industrial Processes

When controlling the flow of fluids (water, chemical solutions, petroleum products, etc.) in industrial processes meets the need for automation, three-piece stainless steel ball valves offer an ideal solution. This stainless steel ball valve combines the superior corrosion resistance of stainless steel with its fast, full-flow properties. Its AISI 304 stainless steel offers durability and hygienic operation, and its 4-inch (DN100) diameter is used in high-flow lines.

What is a Three-Piece Stainless Steel Ball Valve and What Does It Do?

A three-piece stainless steel ball valve is a type of stainless steel ball valve whose body consists of three main parts. These parts consist of two flanged end connections and a main body containing the ball and seats in the center. This design allows maintenance or replacement of internal components by simply removing the center body, eliminating the need to completely disassemble the valve from the pipeline.

Main Features and Advantages of Stainless Steel Ball Valves:

• Superior Ease of Maintenance: This is its most significant advantage. It allows for maintenance by leaving the valve in place and opening it. This significantly reduces labor costs and time, especially in welded lines or where system downtime must be kept to a minimum.

• Stainless Steel Material (AISI 304): The valve body, ball, stem, and internal components are all manufactured from high-quality AISI 304 stainless steel. This material offers excellent corrosion resistance to water, moisture, food products, and many chemicals.

• Full-Bore Design: When the valve is fully open, the ball bore inside is the same diameter as the pipeline. This "full-bore" design allows fluid to pass through with virtually no pressure loss , improving the system's energy efficiency.

• Fast Opening-Closing: Allows you to instantly control the flow with a 90-degree quarter-turn movement of the ball valve.

• Reliable Sealing: PTFE (Teflon) bearings and O-ring systems located around the sphere provide perfect sealing (zero leakage) in the closed position.

Stainless Steel Ball Valve Usage Areas:

• Food and Beverage Industry: Product transfer in hygienic applications, CIP (cleaning in place) lines.

• Chemical and Petrochemical Plants: Process lines requiring corrosion resistance.

• Water Treatment and Wastewater Systems: Processes that use chlorinated water, ozone or other aggressive chemicals.

• Marine Applications: Pipelines requiring resistance to salt water.

• General Industrial Automation: Automating fluid processes in production lines.
