Severe service ball valves are designed to operate in extreme conditions, where pressure, temperature, and the nature of the fluid may pose a challenge for conventional valves. These valves offer exceptional performance in industrial applications, ensuring safety, durability, and operational efficiency.

What is a Severe Service Ball Valve?

Unlike standard ball valves, severe service valves are designed to withstand conditions such as:

  • High pressures and temperatures
  • Abrasive or corrosive fluids
  • Applications with cavitation and severe pressure drops
  • Operations in aggressive environments such as the petrochemical, energy, and mining industries

Thanks to their robust design and advanced materials, these valves ensure reliable control and extended service life.

Key Features of Severe Service Ball Valves

  • High-Strength Materials
    They are made with materials such as stainless steel, nickel alloys, and special coatings that resist corrosion, erosion, and mechanical wear.
  • Robust and Reinforced Design
    They incorporate advanced technologies to enhance structural and operational strength, ensuring safe operation in extreme conditions.
  • Tight Sealing
    Equipped with a high-quality sealing design, they minimize leaks and ensure reliable closure even under extreme pressures and temperatures.
  • Long Service Life and Reduced Maintenance
    Thanks to their design and material characteristics, these valves require less maintenance, reducing costs and downtime.

Advantages of Using Severe Service Ball Valves

  • They are designed to operate in critical environments, minimizing the risk of leaks or failures.
  • Their durability and low maintenance requirements provide long-term profitability.
  • They ensure precise flow control and efficient operation even in adverse conditions.
  • They can be used across various industries such as oil and gas, power generation, chemicals, and mining.
