FAQ's of LnT Make Single Piece Design Ball Valve:
Q: How is the LnT Single Piece Design Ball Valve installed and operated?
A: This ball valve is installed inline using either screwed or flanged connections (BSP, NPT, ANSI, DIN, IS), and operated manually via a quarter turn SS lockable lever. Installation and operation are straightforward, following ASME B16.10 face-to-face and BS 5351/API 6D design standards.
Q: What are the benefits of the fire-safe design and blowout proof stem?
A: The fire-safe design (API 607 compliant) increases safety by preventing leakage during fire incidents. The blowout proof stem adds another layer of operational security, ensuring the stem remains securely retained under extreme pressure or thermal conditions.
Q: When should PTFE or RPTFE seat material be chosen for this valve?
A: PTFE or RPTFE seats are ideal for applications involving corrosive media, higher temperatures (up to 180C), or where low friction and tight sealing are critical. Selection depends on the media properties and specific environmental demands of your process.
Q: Where can this ball valve be used effectively?
A: This valve is suitable for a wide range of environments, including industrial, chemical, petrochemical, and water treatment plants. Its robust construction, range of pressure ratings, and full bore flow make it apt for handling water, oil, gas, air, and steam.
Q: What is the testing and quality assurance process for this ball valve?
A: Each valve undergoes rigorous testing as per API 598 standards to verify pressure, leakage, and operational reliability, ensuring consistent performance and compliance with international industry expectations.
Q: How does the anti-static device enhance valve safety during usage?
A: The anti-static device prevents electrostatic build-up between the ball and stem, minimizing sparks that could ignite flammable media, thus safeguarding personnel and equipment during operation.
Q: What are the advantages of selecting full bore and epoxy coated finish options?
A: Full bore design allows maximum flow with minimal pressure loss, while epoxy coated finishes enhance durability and resistance to corrosion, extending service life especially in harsh operating environments.
