SS Tri Clamp Ball Valve

Here is the English translation of the introduction and recommendation for the SS Tri Clamp Ball Valve:

1. Product Overview

The SS Tri Clamp Ball Valve is a type of ball valve made from stainless steel and installed using a Tri Clamp connection method. It is primarily used in industries requiring high sanitary standards, such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical sectors. Its simple design, ease of disassembly, and cleaning make it compliant with sanitary equipment requirements.

2. Key Features

• Material: Made from high-quality stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L), offering corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and pressure resistance.

• Sanitary Design: Smooth internal polishing, compliant with sanitary standards (e.g., 3A, FDA), preventing bacterial growth.

• Quick Installation: Tri Clamp connection allows for easy installation and disassembly, suitable for applications requiring frequent cleaning.

• Sealing Performance: Uses PTFE or other food-grade sealing materials to ensure zero leakage.

• Easy Operation: Manual handle or pneumatic/electric actuators for flexible switching and precise flow control.

• Compatible Media: Suitable for liquids, gases, steam, and other media.

3. Applications

• Food and Beverage Industry: Used for controlling fluids such as milk, juice, and beer.

• Pharmaceutical Industry: Suitable for transporting pharmaceuticals, purified water, and injectable water.

• Biotech Industry: Used in fermenters, reactors, and other equipment for fluid control.

• Chemical Industry: Suitable for transporting and controlling corrosive media.

4. Selection Guide

• Size: Choose the appropriate valve size based on pipeline dimensions (e.g., 1/2 inch, 1 inch, 2 inches).

• Pressure Rating: Select the valve pressure rating based on working pressure (e.g., PN10, PN16).

• Connection Type: Ensure compatibility with pipeline connections (Tri Clamp standard).

• Operation Mode: Manual operation is suitable for small flow control, while pneumatic or electric operation is ideal for automated systems.
