• Flanged Ball Valves: Easy to install and maintain, flanged ball valves provide secure connections and are suitable for high-pressure applications.
• ATEX Approved Ball Valves: Certified for use in explosive atmospheres, these valves ensure safety and compliance in hazardous environments.

1. Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel ball valves offer superior resistance to corrosion from chemicals, water, and other harsh substances, making them ideal for use in aggressive environments​​​​.
2. Durability: Known for their strength and long service life, stainless steel valves can withstand high pressures and temperatures, providing reliable performance in demanding applications​​.
3. Sanitary Applications: Stainless steel is easy to clean and does not harbor bacteria, making these valves suitable for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary applications​​.
4. Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Stainless steel valves can operate efficiently in a wide range of temperatures and pressures, offering versatility across various industrial processes​​​​.

Pneumatic actuated stainless steel ball valves are employed across numerous industries due to their durability and resistance to corrosion:

• Domestic Water Services: Ensuring safe and reliable water distribution.
• Compressed Air Systems: Controlling air flow in industrial compressed air systems.
• HVAC Systems: Regulating air flow in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
• Potable Water: Suitable for applications involving drinking water.
• Chemical and Pharmaceutical: Handling aggressive chemicals and maintaining purity in pharmaceutical production.
• Petrochemical: Managing the flow of hydrocarbons in petrochemical plants.
• General Industrial Applications: Providing reliable flow control in various industrial processes.
• Saturated Steam Applications: Controlling the flow of steam in high-temperature environments.

Stainless Steel Flanged Ball Valves are particularly used in:

• Oil and Gas: Managing the flow of oil and gas in extraction and processing facilities.
• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Regulating the flow of water and treatment chemicals.
• Chemical Processing: Handling corrosive chemicals in processing plants.
• Power Generation: Controlling the flow of steam and other fluids.
• Hazardous Environments: Ensuring safety in environments prone to explosions or fire.

A fire safe ball valve is designed to maintain its operational integrity and prevent leakage when exposed to fire. These valves are constructed to meet specific fire safety standards, such as API 607 and ISO 10497. Key features include:

• Metal Seats and Fire-Resistant Seals: Ensure the valve can maintain a tight seal and operate effectively during and after exposure to fire​​.
• Operational Integrity: Engineered to continue functioning under fire conditions, preventing the escape of hazardous fluids and enhancing overall safety in critical applications​​​​.

• PN16: This is a pressure rating used in European standards, indicating the valve can handle a maximum pressure of 16 bar (approximately 232 psi) at the designated temperature. PN16 valves are suitable for moderate pressure applications.
• ANSI150: This is a pressure rating used in American standards (ASME), indicating the valve can handle a maximum pressure of 150 psi at the designated temperature. ANSI150 valves are typically used in lower pressure applications compared to PN16​​​​.

ATEX approval certifies that equipment is safe to use in explosive atmospheres. It stands for "ATmosphères EXplosibles," and equipment with this certification meets the essential health and safety requirements outlined by the ATEX directive. This certification is crucial for ensuring safety in environments where there is a risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dust​​.
