Lined Ball Valve

Overview of Lined Ball Valve

Lined Ball Valve is an example of a quarter-turn valve that uses a lining material inside it that prevents any form of chemical reaction from affecting the valve. The lining material could be PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) or PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy).

In comparison with regular metal valves, Corrosion Resistant Ball Valve will be able to handle aggressive chemicals that could potentially damage a valve. Thus, lined ball valves become the optimal solution for industries dealing with acids, alkalis, solvents, and other highly reactive substances.

Another significant advantage of the Fluoropolymer Lined Ball Valve is its capability to preserve the purity of process media inside it. Indeed, since corrosive chemicals only contact the chemically stable lining material and not the valve itself, chances of getting contaminated become negligible.

Features of Lined Ball Valve

Our PTFE Lined Ball Valve solutions are manufactured with highly reliable advanced features that improve safety and functionality.

Excellent Protection against Corrosion

Protection provided by the PTFE or PFA lined valves is exceptionally good since they can withstand a broad variety of corrosive substances.

Suitable for Aggressive Fluids

The valves are designed in such a way that they can handle corrosive process fluids like acid, alkali, chlorinated compounds, oxidizers, solvents, etc., without being corroded.

Bubble-Tight Shut-Off

A precisely machined ball and seat assemblies ensure bubble-tight sealing and prevent any chemical leakage.

Good Flow Properties

Valves with full ports eliminate any chance of pressure drop and allow free movement of the medium.

Minimal Need for Maintenance

Due to the protective lining inside the valves, the internal elements do not wear out.

Sure Isolation

The quarter turn ball design offers reliable isolation and tight sealing. Therefore, lined ball valves are ideal for dealing with hazardous chemicals in which any form of leakage cannot be accepted.

Chemical Resistivity

A Chemical Resistant Ball Valve is resistant to many industrial chemicals such as acids, alkalies, solvents, salts, and reactive process media. This makes it very useful in many industrial applications.

Enhanced Safety

Since lined valves do not suffer from corrosion issues and chemical leakage problems, they improve working environment safety and save other equipment from being damaged by chemicals.

Extended Equipment Lifespan

Prevention of damage to valve bodies from the aggressive media helps to increase equipment lifespan.

Technical Specifications of Lined Ball Valve

Applications of Lined Ball Valve

Due to their high corrosion resistance and sealing performance, lined valves can be used in many industrial applications.

Chemical Industry

Lined valves are used in chemical plants to handle corrosive acids, alkalis, solvents, and specialty chemicals.

Handling of Acid

Highly concentrated acids like hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid require valves which have the capacity to resist heavy corrosion. Lined Ball Valves provide safe and reliable performance in such difficult conditions.

Chemical Processing Plants

Continuous processing of chemicals requires a lined valve which performs process isolation, transfer of chemicals, and control of reactors.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Manufacturing of pharmaceuticals requires clean fluids free from contamination. Inert nature of PTFE lining provides product purity along with resistance towards cleaning chemicals.

Water Treatment Plants

Water treatment plant consists of chemicals dosing using chlorine compounds, acids, and alkalis. Lined valves assure safe handling of such chemicals.

Petrochemical Industry

Petrochemical plants require Corrosion Resistant Ball Valve solutions for handling process chemicals, catalysts, and corrosive hydrocarbons.

Fertilizer Industry

Fertilizer production is based on aggressive chemical compounds which easily corrode ordinary valves. Lined Ball Valves provide durable performance.

Food & Beverage Industry

There are certain applications where cleaning chemicals, additives, and process fluids require lined valves that ensure less contamination along with hygienic operation.

PTFE Lined Ball Valve for Corrosive Applications

The PTFE Lined Ball Valve Manufacturer develops valves to cater to extremely aggressive industrial chemicals without compromising on sealing performance.

Acids

PTFE lined ball valves offer excellent resistance to strong mineral acids and thus, can be employed in applications related to acid transfer, acid storage, acid dosing, and acid processing.

Alkalis

Metal valves can quickly be destroyed by alkali solutions like caustic soda and potassium hydroxide. PTF linings protect valves from corroding due to such harsh chemicals.

Solvents

Many industrial solvents can easily react with metallic valves and destroy them. The liners made from PTFE and PFA prevent this reaction and protect valves.

Aggressive Chemicals

PFA Lined Ball Valve has the capability to handle many aggressive chemicals used in specialty chemical manufacturing, petrochemical processing, pharmaceutical industry, and industrial processing. It helps in reducing contamination risks while enhancing the service life of the valve.
