Applications
The SS316 3-way ball valve is used in the transport of corrosive chemicals where the SS316 body and PTFE seat ensure chemical resistance. It is also widely used in steam and condensate systems due to its ability to withstand high temperatures. Finally, it is also applied in hydrocarbon handling, industrial gases, refrigeration, and mining.
Transport of corrosive chemicals The SS316 3-way ball valve resists aggressive chemicals with its SS316 body and PTFE seat. Therefore, it is the preferred choice in the chemical and petrochemical industries where corrosive fluids need to be diverted or mixed.
Hydrocarbon handling Controls and diverts petroleum-derived fluids reliably. Additionally, 316 stainless steel does not degrade when exposed to corrosive hydrocarbons.
Refrigerant fluid control Withstands low temperatures in industrial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Consequently, it allows diverting refrigerant fluids between circuits with a hermetic seal.
Steam and condensate systems Withstands high temperatures and pressures while maintaining a hermetic seal. Therefore, it is suitable for process plants and power generation systems.
Transport and control of industrial gases Regulates and diverts industrial gases with high corrosion resistance and durability. Likewise, the NPT threaded installation speeds up assembly in existing gas lines.
Flow control in process piping Allows diverting or mixing fluids in L or T configuration according to process requirements. On the other hand, the ISO5211 mounting pad facilitates automation with a pneumatic or electric actuator.
Mining Withstands harsh environmental conditions and corrosive substances in mining applications. Consequently, its robust SS316 construction ensures a long service life with low maintenance.
