Naishi Spherical Body Ball Valve – Structure & Function
Component | Description |
Spherical Valve Body | One-piece forged or fully welded body with a spherical or elliptical contour. Provides uniform stress distribution and compact dimensions. |
Ball (Ball Core) | Precision-machined ball with mirror-polished surface, ensuring tight and reliable sealing. |
Seat (Sealing Ring) | Available in soft seal (PTFE, RPTFE, PPL) or metal seal (e.g., Stellite or Inconel hardfacing), providing wear and pressure resistance. |
Stem | Blowout-proof stem with fire-safe secondary seal, anti-static design, and connection options for handles or actuators. |
Fully Welded Construction | Welded body without bolted joints minimizes leakage risks—ideal for buried or long-term maintenance-free installations. |
Insulation Layer (Optional) | External polyurethane foam, rock wool, or fiberglass insulation wrapped with stainless steel or galvanized sheeting. |
Anti-Corrosion Coating (Optional) | External coatings such as 3PE, FBE epoxy, or PU for underground or harsh environment applications. |
feature | Benefit |
Spherical Body Design | Uniform pressure resistance, low stress concentration, high safety for high-pressure pipelines. |
Welded, Leak-Free Construction | Ideal for gas pipelines and underground systems—long service life with zero external leakage points. |
Thermal Insulation & Anti-Corrosion Compatible | Smooth external surface allows easy application of insulation and anti-corrosion layers. |
Excellent Sealing Performance | Self-cleaning, floating or trunnion-mounted ball design ensures tight shutoff and low torque. |
Compact and Space-Saving | Ideal for valve pits, underground chambers, and confined installations. |
Fire-Safe & Anti-Static | Standard safety design meets API 6FA / ISO 10497 fire test requirements. |
Low Maintenance | Fully welded structure with minimal wear parts—designed for continuous, long-term operation. |
Naishi Spherical body ball valves combine structural strength, compact design, and zero-leak performance, making them ideal for high-pressure gas lines, district heating networks, buried pipelines, and energy systems requiring reliable insulation and long-term durability.
