Autoclave 3B6S15P8 Ball Valve
3-way Quarter & 180° Turn Ball Valves
Pressures to 20,000 psi / Temperatures from 0°F to 400°F
Principle of Operation:
Parker 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 trunnion 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 as well as pneumatic and electric 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.
3-Way Ball Valve Features:
- One-piece, trunnion style, micro-finished ball-stem design eliminates shear failure and reduces side loading found in two-piece designs
- Re-torqueable seat glands for longer seat life
- Carbon-filled PEEK™ seats offer excellent resistance to chemicals, heat, and wear/abrasion
- UNS S31600, 316 cold worked Stainless Steel construction
- Low friction, pressure assisted, graphite filled PTFE stem seal increases cycle life and reduces operating torque
- Available in 90° turn diverter and 180° turn switching models
- FKM Fluorocarbon (Viton®) O-rings are standard, 0° to 400°F
- Optional seals available for temperatures to 500°F maximum
- Wide selection of tube and pipe end fittings available
- Electric and pneumatic actuator options
