Innovative Pressure Technologies (IPT) has introduced API 3000 and 6000 Class Ball Valves. A floating ball design facilitates smooth, low-torque operation suitable for use in instrument air lines, high pressure instrument lines, automated service with actuator, and general plant service applications. These ball valves deliver maximum working pressure to 6000PSI, 414 per API 598 with 0.38in to 1.50in port sizes. The ball valves feature a blow-out proof stem. Full and reduced port designs are available, as well as a fire-safe version. They are available in a selection of tube, pipe and flanged end connections, and can be constructed to satisfy NACE MR-01-75 specifications for corrosion protection. Body and end flanges are available in stainless steel and duplex steel. Seals come standard with PEEK seats for chemical, heat and wear resistance, and NBR Buna-N o-rings for operation in temperatures ranging from -35F to 250F. Other seal materials are available for extreme service environments.
