Ball valve brings added safety to high-flow applications
The full-bore, bidirectional flow-capable GB Series ball valve (photo) is engineered to provide high flowrates at a working pressure of 6,000 psig (413 bars) while simplifying installation, minimizing rework requirements, and delivering the reliable shutoff performance needed to keep workers safe and systems operating efficiently in a variety of demanding applications. Integral end connections range in size from 3/8 to 1 in. To reduce corrosion in harsh environments, the GB Series ball valve is available in a variety of alloy materials, such as 6-Moly, Alloy 2507 and Alloy C-276, as well as materials selected in accordance with NACE MR0175 for sour-gas applications. The valve also complies with ASME B31.1 and B31.3 standards for power and process piping systems. — Swagelok Co., Solon, Ohio
