Ball valve for high-pressure applications.

The new model HPBV ball valve from WIKA, for high-pressure applications up to 20,000 psi (1,379 bar), is designed for a wide variety of applications in in the process industry, machine building or automation.

The model HPBV is available with various bores and enables bidirectional flow. Its robust design, with floating ball, blow-out proof valve spindle and high-quality PTFE sealing packing, offers maximum safety and a long service life for the instrument. A valve seat made of PEEK withstands chemicals, heat and wear.

Two connection types are available for the new valve: NPT and cone/thread (for nominal pressure 20,000 psi/1,379 bar). Operation is smooth, even under high loads - the ball valve can be closed and opened with just a quarter turn. In addition to the standard version, there is an optional oil- and grease-free variant for oxygen applications in accordance with ASTM G93 Level C.

For the model HPBV, WIKA offers an application-specific assembly with a high-pressure gauge. Such an instrument hook-up is delivered ready-to-install and leak tested.
