MOGAS ball valve
Mogas ball valve are used for drain and vent for power applications
Mogas Ball Valve Basic Character:
- Mechanical precision stop prevents misalignment.Actuator torque is transmitted directly through the stem adaptor to the stop and relieves over torqueing.
- Integral mounting flange provides rigid mounting of actuation with no loosening or shifting between bracket and body. True lockout tagout through handlever adaptor and integral mounting flange.
- Double-keyed stem for reliable and more convenient adaptation of gears, pneumatics, hydraulics and motor operators.
- Stem bushing prevents stem blowout and aligns stemradially. Coated for wear resistance.
- Single scribe line on gland aligns with open or closed scribe line on stem to indicate proper ball and seat alignment and correct ball direction. Gland flange with concentric live loading has ample allowance for adjustments while maintaining sealing integrity. The gland flange, studs and nuts are 316SS for corrosion resistance. Live load springs are Inconel.
- The gland thruster is machined and coated for wear resistance for a continuous tight connection with the stem and packing box to prevent packing extrusion.
- Deep stuffing box with proven 0.125-inch crosssection Chesterton® packing and dual anti-extrusion rings that provide reliable sealing and longevity.
- Metal anti-extrusion ring minimizes packing extrusion.
- Integral vented body design protects the valve seat during Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT.)
- Stop on downstream end indicates limit for heat ribbons used for stress relief.
- Proven press-fit seat design.
- ASME 1500 = 410SS / Chromium Carbide
- ASME 3100 / 4500 = Inconel 718 / Chromium Carbide
- Oversized bore at seat face allows for rapid thermal expansion without exposing seat face to process flow. Wider seat faces increase seal longevity.
- Mate-lapped ball and seat for 100% sealing contact to ensure absolute shut-off.
- Forged body for reliable pressure containment.
- Increased clearance and visibility around packing nuts provides easier access for adjustment. Gland components can be raised for installation of skive-cut packing rings. Greater length between stem bushing and packing box bearing surfaces for more precise stem alignment.
- Nameplate is color coded to identify standard materials, and are permanently attached to mounting flange leg, visible above insulation. Nameplate location indicates high-pressure end in the closed position.
- Stem with integrated thrust bearing supports greater axial load. Reliable wear life. Coated stem for wear and gall resistance. Marked with open and close to clearly show operating position.
- Bore of mounting flange accommodates adaptor and protects recessed stem from damage and unseating ball.
