Ball valves are used to provide the best performance for demanding hazardous and corrosive applications. It is designed to overcome such inherent valve problems as high operating torque and stem leakage. It features a unique, non-spherical ball with a bevel at the lip of the port. This configuration minimizes pressure on the seating areas, thus reducing cold flow and prolonging seat life. Its applications include bromine, phosgene, hydrogen fluoride and chlorine applications.
