FAQs of PFA Lined Ball Valve:
Q: How does the PFA lined ball valve ensure resistance to corrosive chemicals?
A: The valves interior surfaces are lined with Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), providing excellent resistance to a vast range of corrosive chemicals, acids, alkalis, and solvents. The PFA encapsulation protects all wetted parts, shielding them from aggressive media and enhancing durability.
Q: What are the standard operating options for the ball valve and when should automation be considered?
A: The valve is manually operated by default using a hand lever but offers gear and pneumatic actuator options for process automation. Automation should be considered in high-cycle, remote, or hazardous environments where manual operation is impractical or unsafe.
Q: Where can PFA lined ball valves be commonly used?
A: These valves are ideal for industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and petrochemicals, wherever reliable isolation of corrosive or hazardous media is crucial. Their versatility allows installation in both new and existing pipelines.
Q: What process standards and tests does the PFA lined ball valve comply with?
A: Compliant with API 608, ANSI B16.5, and DIN PN10/16 standards, each valve undergoes rigorous 100% hydrostatic and pneumatic testing in line with API 598. This ensures the valves integrity, reliability, and compliance with industry benchmarks.
Q: How does the anti-blowout stem design contribute to operational safety?
A: The anti-blowout stem design ensures that the stem cannot be ejected from the valve body under pressure, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing overall plant safety. This is especially important in high-pressure or corrosive service environments.
Q: What benefits does the bubble-tight shutoff and Class VI leakage rating provide?
A: Bubble-tight shutoff and a Class VI leakage rating assure zero leakage during operation, safeguarding process integrity and minimizing the risk of media loss or environmental contamination, which is essential in critical applications.
