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 trunion 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, trunion mounted style, stem design eliminates shear failure found in two piece designs and reduces effects of side loading.
  • Re-torqueable seat glands for longer seat life.
  • Carbon filled PEEK seats offer excellent resistance to chemicals, heat, and 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.
  • Available in 90° turn diverter and 80° turn switching models.
  • 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 and fittings available.
  • Electric and pneumatic actuator options.
Applications:

  • Laboratories
  • Test Stands
  • Control Panels
  • Chemical Research
  • Pilot Plants
  • Water Blast Pumping Units
  • High volume chemical injection skids.
