Key features and benefits of AV-L8000AT, AV-L8100AT & AV-L8200AT Actuated Ball Valves.

Key Features

We've made it easy for anyone to maintain the valve by replacing individual parts if necessary (Seats & Seals). This makes preventive maintenance much cheaper and easier than traditional ball valves, which require complete disassembly every time something needs to be fixed or replaced.

Key Features

Air Torque offer a full range of pneumatic actuators that will meet your requirements exactly. Our actuators come at competitive prices so you can get the most value when it comes to our products. They’re perfect for all kinds of industrial automation projects.

Key Features

Air Torque Pneumatic Actuators provide the same functionality as hydraulic actuators at a fraction of the cost while also providing increased reliability and reduced maintenance costs. This lightweight and compact device has been designed specifically with valves in mind.

Heavy duty valves are designed for applications involving high pressures, temperatures, frequent cycling, vibration, or corrosive fluids. They have thicker walls and parts than standard valves.

Typical materials include stainless steel alloys, carbon steel, cast steel, bronze, nickel alloys, and cobalt-based alloys designed to handle extreme conditions.

End connections like flanges, butt welds, socket welds, threaded, and specialty couplings suit various piping systems. Rating and materials match the pipeline.

Heavy duty valves utilise solid PTFE, chloroprene rubber, viton, compressed asbestos fiber, and graphite packing along with gaskets made of spiral wound metal and kammprofile.

Manual actuation using handwheels, gears, and chainwheels. Automated actuation uses pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators often with fail-safe functions.

Pressure ratings vary widely but often fall between 1500 psi to 4500 psi. However, some special metal seated valves are rated beyond 10,000 psi.

Testing involves shell, seat, and backseat leakage checks, seal validation, high pressure resistance, temperature cycling, vibration, and flow performance.

Certifications can include MSS SP-70 for valve testing, NACE MR0175 for corrosion resistance, and various plant specifications like Shell SPE or API standards.

Oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, power generation, steam systems, and other extreme pressure, temperature, or fluid conditions.

Routine inspection for leaks and smooth operation should occur regularly. Timing varies greatly depending on usage but 2-5 years is typical for overhaul of internals.

The BLX V100E Series is an Electro-Pneumatic control unit that allows the Actuator to incrementally adjust the Valve's position between the fully open and closed cycle. Product variants are available for spring return and double acting setups with feedback and safety settings. Ask our team today about how the V100E can help with your process requirements.
