Colson X-Cel Ltd continues to develop new products that provide the market with better options for some of the more stringent field requirements found in the industry today. Recently it has launched a new floating metal seat ball valve with a low torque seat/sealing arrangement that is smaller and therefore a lower cost than the trunnion mounted versions used for severe service applications.
The new valve is fully designed to the requirements of ASME VIII and ASME B16:34, its compact yet robust design significantly reduces the cost, weight and space against the trunnion options available especially when used in Double Block and Bleed formats. The unique low torque seat/sealing arrangement provides a positive low torque open and shut off operation at full differential pressures. Combined with the high precision manufactured carbide coated ball and seats it provides high reliability and long service life.
The design is end entry and comes with internally loaded true ant-blowout stems giving the market a safe quality product. Available in 1/2″ and 3/4″ bore sizes, pressure classes ASME 150 to 2500 and in all materials listed in ASME.
