API 608 Ball Valve

High-Performance API 608 Ball Valves for Petrochemical Applications

Introduction

The petrochemical industry demands exceptional valve solutions capable of withstanding high temperatures, pressures, and corrosive environments. Our API 608 ball valves are engineered to meet these challenges, offering a combination of robust design features, rigorous standards compliance, and a range of configurations to suit various industrial applications.

API 608 Ball Valve Design Features

1. Full Port/Reduced Port Design: Our ball valves offer both full port and reduced port designs to accommodate different flow requirements. The full port design allows for unobstructed flow, while the reduced port design provides improved sealing and control.

2. 2 Piece Bolted Body: The two-piece bolted body construction ensures ease of maintenance and repair, allowing for quick disassembly and assembly without the need for specialized tools.

3. Floating Ball Type: The floating ball design ensures that the ball is free to move within the valve body, distributing pressure evenly and reducing wear on the sealing seats.

4. Blow-Out Proof Stem: This feature is critical for applications where sudden pressure drops could lead to valve damage. The blow-out proof stem design helps to maintain valve integrity in such scenarios.

5. Fire Safe Design: Our ball valves are equipped with fire safe features that ensure the valve remains tight and operational even in the event of a fire, minimizing the risk of leaks and secondary damage.

6. Anti-Static Device: To prevent the buildup and discharge of static electricity, our valves are fitted with anti-static devices, enhancing safety in flammable environments.

7. ISO 5211 Direct Mounting Type: The ISO 5211 direct mounting type ensures compatibility with a wide range of actuators, providing flexibility in automation and control options.

8. With Locking Device: A locking device is included to prevent unauthorized adjustments or tampering, ensuring operational safety and process integrity.

Standards and Specifications

Our API 608 ball valves are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with BS 5351, API 608, API D, and ASME B16.34 standards. The flange end dimensions adhere to ASME B16.5, while the butt-welding (BW) end dimensions follow ASME B16.25. The pressure-temperature ratings are in line with ASME B16.34, and the fire safe design complies with API 607 and API 6FA.
