Low Torque requirements from the AV-L8000FC Ball Valve allow for smooth operation and reduce the costs of Actuated Ball Valves with smaller Actuators able to automate Valves usually demanding large units. Our carbon steel ball valves come pre-tested so you can get them up and running immediately. You will also receive a two page test report detailing all opening/closing times after your order has been completed. Each individual actuator retains its full traceability all the way back to the factory with a unique serial number. All assemblies performed by Actuation Valve in house also detail and cross reference this serial number with accompanying valves and accessories in a build sheet format.

What types of carbon steel are used in valves?

Common grades are A105, A216 WCB, A350 LF2, A516, and A352 LCC. WCB is the most common due to good strength and machinability.

What types of carbon steel valves are available?

Some of the most common are gate, globe, check, ball, butterfly, and plug valves, as well as control, relief, and actuated valves.

What are the pressure and temperature ratings for carbon steel valves?

Pressure ratings typically range from 150 psi to 2500 psi depending on size and schedule. Temperature ratings are around 800°F, with lower ratings for threaded end valves.

What end connections can be found on carbon steel valves?

Threaded, socket weld, butt weld, flanged, and grooved end connections are commonly available.

When are carbon steel valves a good choice over stainless?

Carbon steel is preferable for applications not requiring stainless steel's corrosion resistance. Carbon steel is also lower cost.

What are some typical applications of carbon steel valves?

HVAC, steam, compressed air, water, oil, natural gas, and other mild fluids in industrial, commercial, and municipal settings.

How is internal leakage prevented in carbon steel valves?

Methods include non-metallic seats, back seating, live loading, isolation gaskets, or metal-to-metal seating in high pressure valves.

What coatings or treatments help extend service life?

Electroless nickel plating, zinc plating, painted coatings, nitriding, black oxiding, and tungsten carbide coatings are used.

What testing is performed on carbon steel valves?

Hydrostatic shell testing, seal validation, high temp and cryogenic testing where applicable, flow performance, air seat leakage, and actuating torque and travel.

What maintenance is required for carbon steel valves?

External adjustment, lubrication, packing adjustments, and occasional seal replacements and internal part replacements after long service.

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.
