Forged steel ball valves are not unfamiliar to everyone in the valve industry, but their performance and usage medium are believed to be unknown to some people. Forged steel ball valves are suitable for natural gas pipelines. Let's analyze why they are suitable for natural gas pipelines.

Forged steel ball valve is a forged steel structure suitable for working conditions such as coal gas, purified natural gas, acidic natural gas, water, coal slurry, and oil products. It is suitable for pipelines in various working conditions such as petroleum, chemical, and thermal power plants with Class 150~Class 1500 and a working temperature of -28~300 ℃, and plays a role in cutting off or connecting media.

Because the internal materials of forged steel ball valves are also carefully selected, the wall thickness of the valve body and the connection strength of the valve body bolts are in accordance with the requirements of the American standard ASMEB16.34, and are rigorously calculated to ensure the corresponding valve body pressure rating and reliable strength of the joint.

The sphere adopts a fixed structure and a floating valve seat, which can achieve a small torque under operating pressure. It uses a metal shaft sleeve with self-lubricating PTFE, which is matched with a high-strength and high smoothness valve stem to minimize the friction coefficient.

Forged steel ball valves use polymer materials as valve seats for sealing, and the sealing seats are loaded with springs, which have excellent sealing performance over a wide range of temperature and pressure changes, ensuring no bubble leakage under the action of closing pressure difference, and can maintain the smallest operating torque under the largest pressure difference.

The specifications and pressure rating of forged steel ball valves comply with the American Petroleum Institute API16D/ISO14314 standard, Chinese GB/T19672 standard, and American ASME standard

Standard requirements. According to customer requirements, valves can be made of materials that comply with the American Corrosion Engineering Association standards NACEMR0175 or NACEMR0103.

Forged steel ball valves come in a variety of materials to choose from, with complete specifications and pressure ratings. They have both full bore and reduced bore capabilities, making them ideal valves widely used in transportation pipelines for oil, natural gas, chemical raw materials, and other industries.
