PARKER HPBYB8FF Hi-Pro Ball Valve, 316 Stainless Steel, 1/2 Inch Pipe Size

Parker ball valve is a flow control device that employs a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to manage the flow of liquid. It is typically used in upstream oil and gas production facilities (both onshore and offshore).

Working Mechanism:

• Ball valves direct or regulate the flow of a fluid (liquids, gases, solids, or slurries) by closing, opening or partly blocking different passageways using a controlling ball with a hole inside.
• When the valve opens, the bore line permits gas, oil or other liquid to flow through.
• It can be turned to the closed position, where the bore is perpendicular to the opening of the pipeline, stopping the contents from flowing through.

Features:

Parker HPBYB8FF is an inline ball valve designed for applications in the oil & gas, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and chemical industries to control the flow of gases, liquids, slurries or steam.
• This Parker ball valve has a two-piece body design to reduce leakage and a straight-through flow path to minimise pressure drop.
• It comes with a packing nut that eases inline adjustment and a robust nylon handle to provide fracture resistance.

Standards and Approvals:

• ANSI
• ASME

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a ball valve ideal for?

A. Ball valves utilise a metal ball which has a hole bored through the center and is sandwiched between two seats to control the flow. These ball valves are capable of throttling gases & vapors and are suitable for low flow situations in hydrocarbon processing applications.

Q. Are Hi-Pro ball valve handles capable of withstanding direct exposure to fire without becoming inoperable, as per API607 standards?

A. Yes, Hi-Pro ball valve handles are made of stainless steel and capable of direct exposure. The valve can withstand direct exposure to fire, as described by API607 standards.
