M-series Metal Seat Ball Valves
M-series metal seat ball valve are engineered with specially
coated matched balls and seats to stand up to high temperatures, pressures and
abrasive materials encountered in the oil/gas, chemical, power generation, pulp
and paper, food processing and mining industries. Valves in the M-Series have a
temperature range of -20 to 661F, and a pressure rating up to ANSI class 600.
M-series ball and seat materials include stainless steel, stellite welded and
hard chrome-plated steel, allowing the valves to perform in applications
involving abrasive fluids and steam. Two optional coatings are also available -
a tungsten carbide (TC) coating for heavy slurry environments and a chrome
carbide (CC) coating for higher temperature applications. An oversized stem
prevents deformation at higher pressures and temperatures. Larger ball design
provides a tight seal, preventing leakage and an Inconel seat spring maintains
positive contact between the ball and seat during operation.
M-series ball valves are available with four
connection options - flanged, threaded, socket weld and butt weld - and body
material options include WCB, CF8 and CF8M. Special material is available based
on application. Nominal pipe size (NPS) range is 0.5 to 8.0 inches. A
uni-directional shutoff is standard, with a bi-directional shutoff available
for back flow applications and features include an anti-static device, a
blowout-proof stem and fire-safe design that conforms to API 607 4th edition.
