  • RPTFE – improved mechanical strength and seat performance
  • Metal Seat – selected where temperature or service severity is higher

Pressure & Temperature Range

Pressure Capability

Pressure suitability depends on body design, size, threaded end integrity, and application requirement. Threaded-end valves are generally selected in smaller sizes and moderate duty conditions unless otherwise specified.

Β 

Temperature Suitability

Temperature capability depends on seat and body material. PTFE and RPTFE are suitable for many industrial applications, while metal seat arrangements may be selected for more demanding service.

Advantages

Compact Threaded Installation

Suitable for compact systems where flanged connections are not necessary.

Easier Maintenance

Three piece design allows better internal service access than simple screwed compact valves.

Reliable Shut-Off

Floating ball arrangement supports dependable isolation in industrial service.

Limitations

  • Threaded-end construction is generally more suitable for smaller line sizes
  • Not preferred where flange-mounted heavy-duty piping arrangement is mandatory
  • Proper thread standard and sealing practice must be ensured during installation

Applications

Chemical Industry

Suitable where compact maintenance-friendly threaded ball valves are required.

Β 

Compressed Air & Utilities

Used in smaller utility lines, air systems, and industrial service circuits.

Water & Process Lines

Suitable for smaller line sizes where screwed-end installation is acceptable.

Pharma & Clean Service

Selected where material compatibility and serviceability are important.

OEM / Skid Applications

Used in compact skid systems and machine-connected industrial assemblies.

General Industrial Service

Widely applicable in process, utility, and compact line installations.
