Product Description
Mild steel made PTFE line ball valve size 12 is used for controlling the flow of water transferred through pipelines. Special design of this ball valve reduces pressure losses of transferred media. PTFE coated design of this ball valve makes it totally sealed against all sorts of external factors that are damaging for transferred water. This ball valve is suitable to be used at high temperature prone working condition. Also known as shut off valve, offered PTFE line ball valve size 12 consists of free floating ball for executing positive shut off function across the pressure range of handled fluid.

Superior Chemical ResistanceWith a robust PTFE lining on all wetted parts and a fully encapsulated stainless steel ball, this valve is ideal for handling highly corrosive chemicals, aggressive acids, and challenging media in industrial applications such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and water treatment.
Exceptional Sealing PerformanceAchieving Class VI, bubble-tight shutoff, this ball valve ensures zero leakage even in demanding operations. The virgin PTFE seats work in unison with the smooth floating ball mechanism to facilitate reliable and safe media isolation across a wide temperature range.
Reliable, Long-lasting DesignThe valve structure incorporates epoxy-coated carbon steel or ductile iron for exterior strength, a blowout-proof stem, and anti-static features for operational safety. Compliance with global standards such as ASTM, API 6D, and ISO 9001 guarantees consistent performance and simplified maintenance.
FAQs of PTFE Lined Ball Valve Size 12:
Q: How does the PTFE lining enhance the longevity and corrosion resistance of the 12-inch ball valve?
A: The 3 mm minimum PTFE lining acts as a robust barrier between the valves metal surfaces and aggressive chemicals, preventing corrosion and chemical attack, thereby extending service life, especially in environments with acids and corrosive media.
Q: What are the recommended applications for this PTFE lined ball valve in India?
A: This valve is suited for industries dealing with corrosive liquids and gases such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing. Its durability and sealing ensure optimal performance in these sectors.
Q: When should the optional fire safe design be considered?
A: The fire safe feature, compliant with API 607, should be specified when handling flammable media or extremely hazardous chemicals to ensure valve integrity and containment during fire exposure.
Q: Where does this valve align with international standards for quality and safety?
A: This ball valve adheres to ASTM, API 6D, ISO 9001 for manufacturing and quality processes, and meets dimensional and connection standards per ANSI B16.5 (flanged ends) and B16.10 (face to face).
Q: What is the process of operating this ball valve?
A: Operation involves a quarter turn (90 rotation) of the handle or gear, enabling swift open or close action. The floating ball design ensures low torque and reliable shutoff, with manual or powered options depending on installation.
Q: How does the blowout-proof stem and antistatic feature improve safety?
A: The blowout-proof stem prevents accidental ejection under pressure, while the anti-static design reduces the risk of sparks during valve actuation, both critical for safe handling of volatile or hazardous chemicals.
Q: What benefits do the PTFE/virgin PTFE seats offer in this valve configuration?
A: Virgin PTFE seats provide superior sealing, low friction, and excellent chemical resistance, resulting in reduced maintenance, minimal leakage, and dependable performance with highly corrosive or abrasive process fluids.
