Aluminium Bronze C95800 Pneumatic Actuated Floating Soft Sealing Ball Valve

Product Description

Engineered for the most demanding corrosive environments, the Aluminium Bronze C95800 Pneumatic Actuated Floating Soft Sealing Ball Valve stands as a premier solution for critical fluid control. The core material, C95800 aluminium bronze, is specifically selected for its exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion, making it an indispensable asset for marine engineering, offshore platforms, and coastal desalination facilities. Upon physical inspection, the dense, heavy-duty cast of the bronze alloy immediately conveys a sense of enduring strength, while the precision-machined surfaces ensure a perfect, leak-free mating during installation. The integration of a high-performance pneumatic actuator provides a crisp, immediate response, characterized by a distinct mechanical actuation sound that confirms successful operation even in noisy industrial environments. This valve is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between rugged durability and precise automated control.

Design Description

The structural integrity of this floating ball valve is rooted in its advanced engineering. Featuring a side-entry and bolted bonnet configuration, the design significantly enhances the overall mechanical strength of the valve body while facilitating rapid on-site maintenance and internal inspections. To guarantee absolute safety and environmental compliance under extreme operational stresses, the architecture integrates a Double Block and Bleed (DBB) mechanism alongside emergency sealant injection capabilities. This low emission design effectively neutralizes the risk of hazardous fluid leakage, protecting both personnel and the surrounding ecosystem.

Internally, the valve can be configured with high-strength trim materials such as C63200 or Monel, paired with resilient RPTFE soft sealing seats. This strategic combination ensures exceptional wear resistance and a prolonged operational lifespan, even under high-frequency actuation cycles in abrasive media. The anti-blow out stem and anti-static devices further mitigate the risk of catastrophic failure during volatile fluid transfers.

Product Information

The following table outlines the comprehensive manufacturing, testing, and delivery specifications for our valve solutions, ensuring complete transparency for your project requirements.

Application Function

Didtek Cast Floating Metal Seated Ball Valve can be used to handle a variety of liquids, suspended solids and gases in many type of industry. Ball valves are suited for fluid flow requiring assured performance, tight shutoff, constant torque and no maintenance. Didtek Cast Floating Metal Seated Ball Valve offer quick, quarter-turn operation, visual indication of the valve position, straight uninterrupted flow, and compact size. The full bore design minimizes pressure drop across valve while maximizing flow capability and throughput economy for general line services.

Beyond general line services, the specific integration of C95800 aluminium bronze makes this valve exceptionally proficient in highly corrosive scenarios. It demonstrates outstanding reliability in shipbuilding applications, offshore oil and gas platforms, and large-scale seawater desalination plants where continuous exposure to saline environments is inevitable. In reverse osmosis processes, the high chloride concentration rapidly degrades standard alloys; however, this bronze construction naturally forms a protective oxide layer, resisting pitting and crevice corrosion. Furthermore, its robust construction provides superior fluid control in severe chemical processing facilities, ensuring that aggressive media are managed with uncompromising precision, significantly reducing the frequency of maintenance shutdowns.

Accessories & Automation

Accessories such as worm gear operator, actuators, locking devices, chain wheels, extended stem for cryogenic service and many others are available to meet the customer’s requirements.

To seamlessly integrate into modern industrial automation systems, this valve series is fully compatible with a wide spectrum of driving mechanisms. Whether your facility utilizes pneumatic systems for rapid response, electric actuators for precise control, or manual operations via handles and worm gears, the integration is straightforward. The inclusion of standard ISO mounting pads ensures that upgrading or replacing actuators can be executed swiftly without disrupting the primary pipeline, thereby maximizing operational uptime and system flexibility. The extended stem options are particularly valuable for cryogenic services down to -196°C, keeping the actuation mechanism safely isolated from extreme freezing temperatures while maintaining smooth, reliable operability.
