ASTM A182 F53 Ball Valve, ASME B16.34, SN20, PN260, FNPT

Key Specifications / Features

The ASTM A182 F53 Ball Valve Plant produces high-quality ball valves in accordance with ASME B16.34 standards. These valves feature a 3-piece body design made from forged duplex stainless steel, ensuring excellent strength and corrosion resistance. With a size of 1/2 inch (DN15), a pressure rating of Class 150 LB (PN20), and FNPT (Female National Pipe Thread) threaded ends, they are designed for reliable performance in a variety of applications. The threaded ends provide easy installation and maintenance.

Forged Steel Ball Valves are available in two primary body types: Two-Piece Split Body and Three-Piece Bolted Body. The forging material ensures sufficient rigidity and strength under the maximum rated operating pressure, eliminating the inherent flaws associated with cast materials. The valves feature adequate wall thickness and the use of high-strength tie bolts, which facilitate easy maintenance and are capable of withstanding pipeline stress. The internal components of the valve are meticulously designed and selected to ensure reliability under various working conditions.
