High-Temperature Ball Valve

Description

Overview of KNKE High-Temperature Ball Valve

The KNKE High-Temperature Ball Valve is engineered to meet the most demanding industrial applications, particularly in environments with extreme temperatures and high pressures. The valve features advanced hardening techniques, including ultrasonic spraying, nickel-based spray welding, and ceramic materials, ensuring a hardened surface with a hardness of HRC60 or higher, reaching up to HRC74 in some cases. These valves can handle temperatures up to 550°C, and in special configurations, they can endure up to 980°C.

This ball valve is commonly used in industries like petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, and pharmaceuticals, where high temperatures, abrasion, and chemical resistance are essential. It ensures a reliable, long-term solution for fluid control in these high-demand environments.
