FAQs of Cavity Filled Ball Valve:
Q: How does the PTFE cavity filled seat improve valve performance?
A: The PTFE cavity filled seat eliminates dead spaces where fluids or contaminants can accumulate. This design not only ensures bubble-tight, zero leakage sealing but also makes the valve more hygienic and suitable for sterile or high-purity applications.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a full bore, three-piece cavity filled ball valve?
A: A full bore design promotes unrestricted flow, minimizing pressure drop and enhancing efficiency. The three-piece construction enables easy maintenance and cleaning, particularly in industries that demand high standards of sanitation and process reliability.
Q: When should I consider a fire-safe ball valve design?
A: Fire-safe options are recommended for applications where there is a risk of fire or exposure to high temperatures. These designs maintain sealing integrity under fire conditions, providing additional operational safety in compliance with relevant regulations.
Q: Where are these valves typically installed?
A: These cavity filled ball valves are widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, beverage, and other process industries, especially where cleanability and zero leakage are crucial to maintain product quality and system reliability.
Q: What is the inspection and testing process for these valves?
A: Each valve is subjected to a comprehensive inspection and leak testing regime as per API 598 standards. This involves verifying pressure resistance, sealing performance, and structural integrity to ensure dependable operation in specified working conditions.
Q: How is the valve operated and what media is it compatible with?
A: The valve operates manually via a quarter-turn mechanism, offering quick and secure flow control. It is compatible with a range of media, including water, oil, gas, and corrosive fluids, making it highly adaptable to different industrial processes.
