Advantages of Metal Seated Ball Valve

Increased Resistance To Erosion And Abrasion
The metal seat of ball valves is much more resistant to erosion and abrasion caused by fluids flowing through the valve. This makes them ideal for applications where the fluid contains solid particles or is highly corrosive, which could quickly damage or degrade the seat of a soft-seated valve.


Longer Service Life
Due to their resistance to erosion and abrasion, metal-seated ball valves tend to have a longer service life compared to soft-seated valves. This reduces maintenance and replacement costs, making them a more cost-effective option in the long run.


Greater Temperature And Pressure Range
Ball valves with metal seats are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and pressures, which makes them suitable for applications where high performance is required under high temperature and pressure conditions. In contrast, soft-seated valves may have limitations in terms of temperature and pressure due to the nature of the soft seat material.


Increased Leak Resistance
The metal seats of ball valves offer increased leak resistance compared to soft-seated valves. This is because the hard seat material creates a more effective seal with the ball, preventing unwanted leakage and pressure loss.

Introduction to the Basic Knowledge of Metal Seated Ball Valve

The service temperature of O-ring sealed normal temperature metal seated ball valve is 一 29 °C 一〜200 °C, and the graphite sealed metal seated ball valve is -29 °C 〜425 °C. The specific service temperature depends on the shell material and sealing surface material. The valve seat adopts the elastic seal structure of bellows to effectively solve the leakage of sealing surface caused by the pressure and high temperature of the valve.

The low torque design of the valve effectively reduces the operating torque of the valve and prolongs the service life of the sealing surface. The moving parts such as valve seat, valve stem and ball are treated with surface wear-resistant technology to reduce the abrasion, abrasion and erosion of internal parts. The surface of the ball and the valve seat adopts the supersonic spraying technology, which improves the hardness and wear resistance of the sealing surface, thus improving the service life of the valve and broadening the working range of the valve

The valve sealing surface and overflow surface shall be sprayed with wear-resistant and anti-wear coating to reduce the erosion of medium metal parts and the sticking and corrosion caused by the accumulation of dirt in the medium

 

Application Of Metal-Seated Ball Valve

 

In the oil and gas industry, it can be used as a part of the control system of drilling rigs, platforms, and other equipment.

 

In the chemical industry, it is used as an important product in production lines and in other processes like refrigeration or air conditioning systems.

 

In the power generation industry, metal seated ball valves are commonly used to control the flow of water during nuclear fission reactions at nuclear power plants. They also play an important role during steam generation by condensing liquid water into steam within a heat exchanger or boiler through pressure drop across an expansion device (e.g., check valve). This process lowers overall energy consumption by reducing required pressure drops across various components such as pumps/valves/etc., thus saving money on operating costs overall!

 

Comparison of Metal Seated Ball Valves and Soft Seat Valves
 

Metal seated ball valves excel in the harshest manufacturing indoor environments, and valve shortcomings can seriously compromise safety, compromise high efficiency, and reduce gross profit margins. This durable metal seated ball valve is especially suitable for crude oil and natural gas, oil refineries and power utilities.

 

For ball valves, choosing the right seat material can be a difficult decision because you will have many choices. Key factors that must be considered when identifying elements include raw materials used in home construction, modest specifications and types of design features, including v-port numbers, exhaust pipes, dual bases, 1.2 or 3 pieces, etc., but more must be carefully considered. One of the reasons is the type of seating. First of all, you need to fully grasp the whole process and standard of valve application, which should be the basis for valve seat selection. Do you need to turn off the styrofoam in the valve? Is the liquid corrosive? Does it include abrasive particles? Is it under high pressure or constant heat? Once this element is firmly grasped, the choice is self-evident.

 

Compared with the soft seat valve, the specific feature of the metal seated ball valve is that it can withstand high temperature and severe operating standards. Metal seats tolerate extreme moisture, hydraulic shock, abrasive slurries and high temperatures up to 1000°f. They are also a satisfactory choice for highly corrosive or corrosive applications. Another major element is that the metal seat can be hardened according to a special coating.

 

Soft seats are usually made of thermoset components such as ptfe. This valve is suitable for places where organic chemical compatibility and sealing are required. As everyone knows, the soft seat does not feel comfortable to solve corrosive or dirty liquids. In such a case, the valve can crack, causing the valve to leak. The complexity of soft-seat valves is related to the objective fact that they cannot afford extreme use. On the other hand, metal seated valves can maintain normal operation in high temperature and extreme applications. Metal-seated ball valves are widely available for maximum shut-off specification and ongoing service. Compared to soft valves, this valve operates longer. This durable valve can usually handle most grinding applications.


For metal-to-metal seats, rubbing a variety of coatings can make the ball and seat ring harder and more resistant to wear in the sealing area, depending on the application standard. This unique coating includes synthetic hard surface coatings, carburized chromium, cobalt alloys and electrolytic nickel. Sealability based on metal contact between 2 hard-coated surface areas. Although the price of metal seated ball valves is relatively high, the use of soft seat valves should also take into account the damage caused by common failures and the cost of replacing soft seat valves. Compared with the service life, the high efficiency of the metal seated ball valve is more cost-effective. Metal-seated ball valves are the best, long-term, and economical choice for important applications.

 

Understanding Metal-Seated Ball Valve Coating Materials
 

Between the seat and the ball, there is metal to metal contact. This is how sealing is achieved by a metal seated ball valve. Unfortunately, galling occurs when even moderate pressure is present as similar hardness slide against each other. Eventually, the valve will seize up as the damage worsens. That is, if no coatings are applied. But with the right coating, a smoother sliding operation can take place between the seat and ball, reducing friction. Wear and damage due to thermal swings, cavitation, particle impact, erosion, abrasion, and galling will be reduced. The valve's operating torque is lowered by reducing friction in the trim.

 

Seat, ball, and valve body materials are selected based on chemical compatibility, temperature, pressure, and other factors. When choosing trim coatings, the same criteria must be considered. Instant failure could be the result of improper selection. But if you have unsuitable base materials, even the best trim coatings can't make up for that. Through proper coating and base material selection, the valve will meet the demands of the application.

 

Nitride and thermal diffusion – Diffused into ferrous metal surfaces such as martensitic stainless steel or carbon steels. In abrasive and high-temperature applications, useful for extending valve bearing surface life. Boride thermal diffusion – Diffused into the base material surface and can be used on numerous carbides, cobalt, nickel, and ferrous alloys. Erosion resistance and wear-resistance significantly increased. Well suited to abrasive and high-temperature applications as well as any time corrosion concerns and demanding material requirements are present.

 

CrC (chromium carbide) – Well-suited to extremely high-temperature liquid or gas applications. Superb resistance to corrosive media, erosion, and wear. WC-Co (Tungsten Carbide) – Extremely resistant to high cycle operations wear and erosion from powders, slurries, mus, and abrasive catalysts. Cobalt-based Alloy – Based on their individual suitability and properties, specific materials are applied, but multiple materials are used for coating. Individual properties can be based on part types such as bearings, shafts, plugs, and seats. NiBo (nickel boron) – Performs well in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Extremely resistant to damage from thermal shocks, cavitation, and erosion. HCr (hard chromium) – Where most valves are concerned, this is a standard coating. It is suited to applications that are wide ranging in gases and liquids at moderate pressures and temperatures.
