Metal seal Ball Valve sealing surface hardening technique

Metal seal Ball valve sealing surface hardening techniques

First, Overview
High-viscosity fluids in power plants , petrochemical systems , coal chemical industry , with dust mixed fluid and solid granular , highly corrosive fluid medium and so on required the ball valve should be metal seal , so the choice of a suitable metal hard sealing ball valve “ball and seat”  hardening process is very important.

Second, the usual hardening process are the following :

( 1 ) sphere surfacing deposit weld alloy , hardness usually up to 30HRC or more, spheres  surfacing process is complex, low productivity, and a large area of ​​surface welding easy to make parts deformation , as a reslut, currently use of the sphere surface hardening process become less .

API 600 Cast steel gate valve export to Russia

These lot valves are API 600 design and manufactured with special face to face standard. The face to face is 12mm longer than general 150lb API wedge gate valves ANSI B16.10( 6″ =267mm 8″=292mm) 6″ pieces are LCB body and 304 stem with 304 seat ring and stellite sealing face in disc. 4″ pieces are CF8M body and disc with hard seal sealing face.

Though we communicate with the client many times, the end user insist the face to face dimension was correct and suitable for local environment. It is special requirement for local, the dimension might be GOST standard and these valve will be used for instead former russia design valve. ASME B16.5 flanged connection for all valves.

Other 2 pieces valve are A216 wcb body material 300lb 20″ with double Stellite sealing face. The valve are inspected by third party as per API598. Include out surface, body test, seal test,and main dimension, out look, valve mark. Destination(Malaysia)
