Parker Instrumentation has launched a ball valve range made of 316 stainless steel. The valves are designed for high-pressure operation up to 10,000 PSIG/689 BarG. Using a two-piece construction, the Hi Pro valve reduces potential leak paths to a minimum. With the added ability to select integral compression tube fitting ends, it offers good integrity. Available in 1/4, 3/8 and ½â? sizes, or 6, 8, 10 and 12mm, the design conforms to ANSI/ASME ratings and features a 4:1 pressure boundary safety factor, to deliver reliable 10,000 PSIG/689 BarG operation. It meets the fire safe requirements of API 607 and BS6755 Part 2. The valve’s body end connector thread is fitted with an environmental seal, protecting it from corrosion attack. The valve mechanism works on the floating ball principle, with dynamic response seats and an anti blow-out stem, and offers and 100% bubble-tight operation.
