Overview


The Pneumatic-Actuated 3-Piece Thread Ball Valve is a high-reliability flow control solution designed for fast, efficient operation in industrial automation systems. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this valve features NPT threads (ANSI B1.20.1) and a pneumatic actuator, providing rapid 90° quarter-turn motion for on/off control in harsh, corrosive environments.


Features


Pneumatic Actuation Advantages:

Double-acting or spring-return pneumatic actuator (5-8 bar air pressure), offering fail-safe operation (spring-return closes/opens on air loss) and cycle times ≤3 seconds for 2" valves.

ISO 5211 mounting platform ensures compatibility with global actuator brands (e.g., Festo, SMC), with optional positioners for proportional flow control.

Corrosion-Resistant Design:

316 stainless steel body (ASTM A316) with 3.5% molybdenum content, resisting chloride pitting in marine and chemical environments, with a passivated surface extending service life by 30%.

PTFE seat with anti-extrusion ring provides bubble-tight shutoff (API 598) in temperatures from -40°C to 260°C (RPTFE seat).

Precision Threaded Connections:

NPT male/female threads for secure pipe attachment, compatible with schedule 80 pipes and heavy-duty fittings, torque-rated to 80 N·m for 2" valves to withstand actuator forces.

Reinforced body thickness at thread junctions (1.3x standard) prevents deformation under high-cycle pneumatic operation.

Safety & Compliance:

Anti-static device (spring-loaded) ensures electrical continuity for gas applications, reducing static discharge risks in flammable environments.

Compliant with NACE MR0175 for sour gas service and ATEX/IECEx for use in explosive atmospheres (Zone 1/21), with optional flame arrestor kits.


Application


Ideal for high-speed, high-reliability industrial automation:

Oil & Gas Upstream: Quick shutoff in wellhead control systems and chemical injection lines, with 316 stainless steel resisting H2S corrosion in sour gas fields.

Food & Beverage: Hygienic flow control in pasteurization lines and CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, meeting 3-A Sanitary Standards for direct food contact.

Power Generation: Pneumatic control of steam traps and condensate lines in combined cycle plants, with fast actuation reducing pressure surges in turbine systems.

Aerospace Ground Support: Fuel and hydraulic fluid control in aircraft maintenance facilities, with pneumatic operation ensuring fail-safe performance in high-altitude environments.


FAQ


Q: What air pressure is required for the actuator?

A: Standard operation at 6 bar; minimum 5 bar, maximum 10 bar. Use a pressure regulator to maintain consistent performance.

Q: Can the valve be used in vacuum systems?

A: Yes, the PTFE seat provides reliable sealing down to 29" Hg vacuum, though metal-to-metal seats are recommended for extreme vacuum conditions.

Q: How to prevent actuator corrosion in coastal environments?

A: Choose an actuator with epoxy-painted aluminum body or stainless steel components, and install a coalescing air filter to remove moisture and salt particles.

Q: What is the recommended air filter size for the actuator?

A: Use a 5μm rated filter to protect the actuator from particulate contamination, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life.
