Multipurpose ball valves added to FloLok range

8th International Trade Fair for Tubes & Pipes, Valves, Pumps, Fittings and Components

SSP FB floating ball valve

6–8 October 2015 Imigrantes Exhibition Centre São Paulo EXPO EXHIBITION & CONVENTION CENTER

SSP, a specialist in instrumentation tube fittings, valves, and tubing, has announced a new addition to its line of FloLok ® instrumentation valves. The FB Series multipurpose ball valves have a wide range of uses, but are specifically designed for use in demanding applications that many ball valves are not able to handle, such as high pressure, high temperature and low differential pressure. The FB Series multipurpose ball valves feature a floating ball design that allows upstream pressure to assist the downstream seal. Live loaded seats allow the valve to seal under differential pressures lower than other floating ball designs. Standard PEEK seats deliver leak-tight performance at 6,000 psig. A primary advantage with the FB Series is the fact that the downstream spring can cushion the shock of the ball against the seat, preventing damage over the long term. Additionally, the end-screw completely supports the seat at high pressure, protecting the seat from deformation, even at high temperatures. This design reduces seat wear and leakage, and extends the performance life. SSP’s new FB Series ball valves are suited to low- and high- pressure applications, and dynamic temperature and pressure conditions. Additional specifications include 6,000 psig (413 bar) working pressure at 250°F; high flow – Cv up to 13.8; wide temperature range (-40 to 400°F); leak-tight envelope seal and shut off; a wide range of end connection size and type combinations, including three styles of tube fittings; low torque actuation; and higher cycle life and low maintenance.
