Grade 5 Titanium Ball Valve (ASME B16.10 Face-to-Face)

1. Product Overview

Our Grade 5 Titanium Ball Valve is engineered specifically for severe-service applications in the chemical, petrochemical, and marine industries. Manufactured from premium Ti-6Al-4V alloy, this valve offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and unparalleled resistance to highly corrosive media.

Complying strictly with the ASME B16.10 standard, it features precise face-to-face dimensions, ensuring seamless drop-in replacement and integration into existing standardized industrial piping systems.

2. Key Features & Benefits

Superior Material Grade: Made from Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), providing double the strength of Grade 2 titanium and higher temperature resistance.

Standardized Dimensions: Full compliance with ASME B16.10 and ASME B16.5, guaranteeing perfect alignment and spacing in global pipeline networks.

Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Outstanding defense against localized corrosion, pitting, and crevice attack in chloride-rich, acidic, and oxidizing environments.

Zero-Leakage Sealing: Equipped with advanced fire-safe and anti-static seat designs (PTFE/PPL/Metal-to-Metal) ensuring bidirectional bubble-tight shutoff.

Low Maintenance Cost: Titanium's self-healing passive oxide layer minimizes wear, dramatically extending service life and reducing downtime compared to stainless steel.

4. Industrial Applications

Thanks to its robust mechanical properties and chemical stability, this ASME B16.10 titanium ball valve is widely utilized in:

Chemical Processing: Production of organic/inorganic acids, chlorine gas, bleaching agents, and urea.

Desalination & Marine: Seawater cooling systems, offshore drilling platforms, and marine piping.

Chlor-Alkali Industry: Handling highly corrosive brine solutions and wet chlorine.

Pulp & Paper: Bleach plant piping systems exposed to aggressive chlorine dioxide.

5. Quality Control & Testing

To ensure the highest reliability in critical chemical environments, every single valve undergoes rigorous quality checks before shipping:

Material Positive Material Identification (PMI): Verifies the exact chemical composition of the Grade 5 Titanium.

Radiographic Testing (RT/UT): Ensures casting integrity with zero internal defects.

Pressure Testing: Strict hydrostatic and pneumatic shell and seat tests according to API 598.

Dimension Inspection: Comprehensive check of face-to-face lengths and flange tolerances.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why should I choose Grade 5 Titanium instead of Grade 2 for industrial valves?

A: While Grade 2 is commercially pure and offers excellent corrosion resistance, Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) is an alpha-beta alloy. It delivers significantly higher tensile and yield strength, making it much better suited for high-pressure, high-velocity, and severe-wear chemical applications where structural integrity is vital.

Q2: Does this titanium ball valve match standard pipeline replacements?

A: Yes. Because it is built to the ASME B16.10 face-to-face standard, its end-to-end installation length matches standard industrial specifications. You can replace worn-out stainless steel or nickel alloy valves directly without modifying your existing pipeline layout.

Q3: What seat materials are available for this valve?

A: We offer soft-seated options like PTFE, RPTFE, and PPL for standard operations (up to 180°C/200°C). For higher temperatures or abrasive slurries, we provide hard-faced Metal-to-Metal sealing solutions.
