Application
Ball valve is isolating valve designed to fully open or
close the service fluid flow. It is not designed to be used for throttling or
regulating purposes. For temperatures from −50 °C to +300 °C.
Suitable for water, steam, gas, oil, crude oil, acid, alkali and other
liquids and gases with mechanical impurities – solid particles with
sizes not exceeding 5 mm.
Approved for fluids in groups 1 (hazardous) and 2 according to
2014/68/EU.
