Shipham has released a newly rated range of Composite Full Bore Ball Valves and Wafer Butterfly Valves as well as a new Reduced Bore Composite Ball Valve range, designed, engineered and tested by the company’s own engineers and manufactured entirely in the UK. Rated at 16 bar (230psi) at ambient temperature, this new range of valves provides a compact, lightweight, one-piece design valve with minimum leak paths to atmosphere. The materials used by Shipham AVT are thermo-setting glass reinforced epoxies which will not melt, creep or shrink, and are hard wearing and durable. They are lighter than metallic valves, corrosion resistant, and the material has a proven track record as a piping material.
