What is a High Pressure Electric Stainless Steel Ball Valve?
A high pressure two way electric stainless steel ball valve is constructed of two seperate body pieces made of cast 316 stainless steel pieces which are threaded together and hydraulically locked. The wall thickness is usually much larger than a lower pressure ball valve as it can accommodate a much higher pressure range (ours will do up to 200 Bar). The seats are Delrin which is great for high pressures but has a narrower range of compatible media when compared with PTFE which is typically used at lower pressures. It has a direct mounted IP67 electric actuator fixed to the valve which conducts its 90 degree turn (open.close). The actuator comes with extra limit switches for voltage free end of stroke open/close feedback and a visual indicator.

How does a 2 way High Pressure Electric Stainless Steel Ball Valve work?
These high pressure electric ball valves work the same as any normal two way ball valve whereby the ball is rotated 90 degrees within the body of the valve which will either open or close the valve. The ball itself (solid ball design for higher pressures) has a hole either end which the media will flow through when it is open. When the valve is closed these holes are blocked off to the flow effectively isolating the media either side of the valve. The seal is provided by Delrin seats (good for high pressure applications) at either end of the ball. The ball is turned by an electric actuator which is connected to a shaft which in turn is mated to the ball by a female slot. When the actuator is operated by an external relay it will take anywhere from 8 to 20 seconds for a cycle depending upon the actuator size (it generally gets longer as the actuator size increases with required torque). Once it rotates its required 90 degrees a microswitch on a cam is triggered and power to the motor is shut off. It will then wait for the relay to be switched and the valve will do the same thing in the other direction.

How long will High Pressure Electric Stainless Steel Ball Valve last?
Like any valve this depends upon the usage case of your ball valve, its environment, media and how many times it is cycled. For instance if it is on a clean media, in a clean environment and not cycled regularly the life will be decades or more. If it is on a corrosive media and in a dry application with a high cycle rate the life will be much shorter. We conduct regular lab testing and 10,000 cycles is a reasonable life cycle for the ball valve depending upon the application. The actuator's life will depend upon how clean the environment is, its correct installation, its duty cycle and electrical supply. As it is CE certified they have being tested to 6,000 life cycles for general purpose applications but can last much longer. One common mistake we see is an incorrectly rated cable gland being installed. Our actuators are IP67 which gives you great water ingress protection but it will only be as good as the cable gland installation. You need to bear in mind the duty cycle of the actuator model you are using and do not exceed that eg. (if it is 75% you can use the actuator for 75 seconds with a 25 second down time out of 100 seconds). If you do it can lead to premature failure of the actuator.

How do I install a High Pressure Electric Stainless Steel Ball Valve?
These have female parallel BSP threaded ends so it is best to put a male tapered BSP fitting into the valve ends. High pressure thread tape or a sealant should be used to help the seal and also if dissimilar metals are used it will reduce dissimilar metal corrosion. As this is potentially working at higher pressures a firm seal needs to be achieved. The electric actuator must be wired in accordance with the wiring diagram which is on the front of the actuator and also inside the housing. This varies between models and voltages so if there is any doubt please consult us.

What are typical uses of a High Pressure Electric Stainless Steel Ball Valve?
These are generally used in high pressure applications where a normal ball valve cannot handle the pressure such as water blasting or chemical injection. As it has an electric actuator it is usually used in applications where a reliable air source is not present (as it is cheaper and faster to use a pneumatically actuated ball valve). Also if the actuator looses power it will fail in the position it is in (even if it is part way through a cycle eg. half open etc) so they are not used in fail safe applications. Here a spring return pneumatic or spring return electric actuator would be used (spring return electric is expensive).

How long will my product take to get to me?
This depends upon where you are based and the freight method chosen. If the express freight option is selected it is usually next day delivery to metropolitan areas in Australia for under 5kg. If free freight has being selected it will go by road freight which can be anywhere from 1 to 10 days depending upon your location. It usually averages 3 days.

What warranty do I get?
All of our products come standard with a 12 month warranty. The good news is we have very strict quality controls and all valves leave our warehouse tested (full material and testing certificates to API598 are available) and inspected so there are rarely any issues. Also once your valve is in and operating it will most likely continue to do so for a very long time.
