Ball valves with one-piece packing
and blowout proof stems
SSP, a specialist in stainless steel
and nickel-based alloy fluid system
components, assemblies and CNG
fuelling applications, has added its
newest line of 40 series ball valves to
its growing FloLok
®
brand line of valves.
The first sizes available will be the
FloLok 41, 42 and 43 series valves,
with end connections from
1
/
16
" to
3
/
8
",
as well as corresponding metric sizes.
Larger 44 and 45 series valves will be
available later. “We are very excited with
this announcement because the new
40 series valves offer a tremendous
opportunity to provide SSP customers
with a superior valve from the same SSP
distributor supplying them instrument
tube fittings and tubing,” commented
Reed Stith, director of marketing for
SSP.
The 40 series is a one-piece body-style
ball valve that is a popular solution
for analytical and process
instrumentation,
control
systems and a variety of other
applications. The one-piece
body reduces the number
of potential leak points. The
company describes the one-
piece design is the go-to
valve solution in analytical
instrumentation and other medium-
pressure applications that call for a
quarter-turn shutoff.
“Most importantly, the one-piece
packing eliminates dead space and leak
points, while the blowout proof stem
maximises reliability and safety,” noted
Mr Stith.
Some of the major enhancements that
will drive reliability and serviceability
for the 40 series ball valves are their
extremely strong forged body and
blowout proof stems. In addition, they
contain modified PTFE packing for
chemical compatibility and extended
life over a wide range of temperatures
(-65 to 300°F).
The 40 series ball valves do not rely
on system pressure to seal, and so
seal equally well at both high and low
pressures. Remote sensors can be
mounted in handles to determine open/
close position.
