MAIN FEATURES
Fire-SaFe TeST approved
BFE floating ball valves are designed in accrdance with API 607 & API SPEC 6FA. When
non-metal seats are destroyed in a fire, the
upstream medium pressure push the ball into
the downstream metal seat lip to cut off the
line fluid and prevent internal leakage due to
a secondary metal-to-metal seals. When the
first soft seal is damaged, body/gland/stemgasket can reach sealing function and prevent
external fluid leakage.
double body GaSkeT
All BFE floating ball valves are equipped with
two body gasket. The first body gasket is in
soft material and the second in graphite (if
not otherwise required), this combination assures the best seal characteristic in whatever
corrosive service as well give fire safe design.
Antic-Static Device
In order to prevent static electricity which may
light the fluid, static-conduction spring is set
between the stem and the ball.
anTi blow-ouT prooF STem
The stem is designed with integral T-Type
shoulder to provide blow-out proof effectively.
The design assures that the stem can not be
blown out of the body in the case of the gland
being removed while the valve is under pressure.

YES
Viton GLT is a fluoroelastomer designed to retain the high heat and the chemical resistance of general use
grades of Viton fluoroelastomer, while improving the low temperature flexibility of the material. Glass transition

Hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) has excellent mechanical, thermo-oxidative and chemical resistant
properties and an excellent operating temperature range.
YES
NO
Hard carbon with excellent heat resistance. Not suitable as seat material when presence of
oxidized service is expected.
YES
YES
For liquid or gas services with high presence of solids or in any case where extreme hardness and wear
resistance is required. Tungsten carbide itself is practically inert and extremely strong. Any attack is usually on
the binder. Not suitable when small presence of caustic soda is expected.

OXYGEN GAS
BFE floating ball valves designated for Oxygen Service are prepared and cleaned to standards required for the safe operation of Oxygen Service equipment and product purity. Acetal Resign
(Delrin) seats and Nylatron seals must not be used in oxygen service.
VACUUM
BFE floating ball valves can be used with standard design in "Medium Vacuum" range (up to 0.001 Torr). Specially prepared and tested valves can be used through the "High Vacuum" range.
Valves with reinforced TFE, carbon-graphite or metal seats are not recommended for vaacum service.
CHLORINE
BFE floating ball valves designated for Chlorine Service are in stainless steel material (Grade 304 or 316) or other alloys such as Monel or Hastelloy C. Reinforced PTFE can be used for the
chlorine service. Due the high coefficient of expansion the ball vent hole is required. They are prepared and cleaned to standards required.
ALIMENTARY
The BFE special "cavity filled" design (standard design for alimentary service valves) offer the best way to mantain the body cavity clean and empty from impurities. BFE floating ball valves
designated for alimentary files Service are also prepared and cleaned to standards required.
The BFE special "cavity filled" design (standard design for slurry service valves) offer the best way to mantain the body cavity empty from slurry and safe from phase transition to the solid state
(immobilizing the valve).
The BFE special "cavity filled" design (standard design for polymers service valves) offer the best way to mantain the body cavity empty from fluid and safe from possible polymerization in
place (immobilizing the valve).
Ball Valves are recommended for hydrogen peroxide service. The valve is nitrogen leak tested and prepared and cleaned to standards required. The ball vent hole is required.
