ASTM A182 F51 Ball Valve, API 6D, 3 IN, 900 LB, Metal Seated

The ASTM A182 F51 Ball Valve, manufactured to API 6D standards, features a 3-inch (DN80) size and is rated for Class 900 LB (PN150) pressure. It is metal-seated for enhanced durability in high-pressure applications and comes with a bare stem design for efficient operation. Equipped with RF flanged ends, this valve ensures secure and leak-proof connections.

Product Name: ASTM A182 F51 Ball Valve, Metal Seated
Design Standard: API 6D
Body Material: ASTM A182 F51
Size: 3 Inch, DN80
Pressure: Class 900 LB, PN150

The metal-seated ball valve features a metal-to-metal sealing mechanism between the ball and seat. Advanced hardening technologies, such as HVOF coating, nickel-based alloy spray welding, high-nickel alloy spray welding, tungsten carbide alloy spray welding, and cobalt-based hard alloy spray welding, can be applied based on specific service conditions and user needs. These techniques enable the sealing material to endure temperatures from 540°C to 980°C while delivering exceptional wear and impact resistance.
The seat is crafted from stainless steel with a stellite alloy overlay, while the ball, also stainless steel, undergoes treatments like hard chrome plating, vacuum coating, tungsten-titanium alloy application, or stellite alloy overlay welding. These processes ensure outstanding resistance to heat and wear. KOSEN’s advanced ball manufacturing techniques achieve precise dimensions and an ultra-smooth mirror surface finish.
A key feature of the valve is its spring-preloaded seat, which guarantees dependable sealing and stable torque during operation. The overall design prioritizes safety, sealing reliability, and operational ease.
