Full Welded Ball Valve for Critical Pipeline Applications in Oil & Gas

The Full Welded Ball Valve is a premium, high-integrity valve engineered for permanent, leak-free service in demanding pipeline systems. Its body is constructed by advanced welding technology, eliminating potential leak paths associated with flange connections. This robust design makes it the ideal choice for mainline isolation, storage facilities, and other critical applications in refineries, petrochemical plants, and transmission networks, particularly in the challenging environments of the Middle East's oil and gas sector.

Our Full Welded Ball Valve incorporates several critical safety and performance features:

• Double Block & Bleed (DBB): Provides reliable isolation and allows for cavity pressure venting.

• API 607 Fire Safe Design: Ensures valve integrity and sealing performance even after exposure to fire.

• Blowout-Proof Stem: A secure stem design prevents ejection under high-pressure conditions.

• Anti-Static Device: Safely dissipates static electricity generated by fluid flow.

• Automatic Cavity Pressure Relief: Prevents dangerous pressure buildup in the valve body cavity.

• Fugitive Emission Control (Optional): Designed with low-emission packing to meet stringent environmental standards.

• Q: Why choose a Full Welded Ball Valve over a split-body design for pipeline applications?

  A: The Full Welded Ball Valve offers superior structural integrity and permanent leakage prevention. Its welded body is exceptionally strong, resistant to pipeline stresses, and requires no maintenance on body joints, making it perfect for buried or severe service.

• Q: Is this valve suitable for sour gas service?

  A: Yes. By selecting appropriate materials like LTCS (for low-temperature) or Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS), along with compliant trim, the valve can be configured for sour environments as per NACE MR0175/MR0103 standards, common in Middle Eastern oil and gas fields.

• Q: What maintenance does the valve require?

  A: Requiring minimal maintenance, the primary focus is on the actuation system. The welded body is maintenance-free. The self-relieving and anti-static features enhance long-term, reliable operation.

• Q: Are your valves compliant with international standards for the Gulf region?

  A: Absolutely. Our manufacturing and testing strictly adhere to API, ASME, and ISO standards. The API 607 fire-safe certification and optional fugitive emission testing are crucial for modern, environmentally conscious projects in the region.

For critical pipeline infrastructure where safety, durability, and zero leakage are paramount, our Full Welded Ball Valve provides an unmatched solution. Contact our engineering team to specify the right valve for your project's pressure, material, and actuation requirements.
