BALL VALVES
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.
Parker Autoclave Engineers ball valves can be operated safely up to 20,000 psi and up to 500F with the high temperature option. 2-way, 3-way & 4-Way Switching & Crossover styles are available.

BALL VALVE ACTUATORS
Pneumatic and Electric Actuators
Pneumatic ball valve actuators are available for every bore/size option we offer (90° or 180° as needed). Our standard weather-proof housing is corrosion resistant anodized aluminum, Stainless Steel materials are available. CE Marked and SIL3 rated.
Parker Autoclave Engineers offers an ISO 5211 compliant pneumatic actuator with mounting configuration for NAMUR solenoid valves, limit switches or positioner as standard. Electric actuators are available in Weatherproof or Explosion-proof styles depending on location. Both varieties come standard with two (15 amp SPDT) position switches (SPDT). Explosion-proof version includes an external handwheel for manual operation.
