- The standard jacketed ball valve is made using cast carbon steel and stainless steel materials. Also can be made of other special materials upon request by the customer.
- Have jackets that cover the body from one flange end to the other flange end. The valve body is altered by adding oversized flanges.
- Connections that can be used between the valve and the pipeline include threaded end and flanged end connections.
- All jacketed ball valves are tested after constructing or welding jackets to the valve body.
- Good heating jackets that provide high-temperature oil or steam over the valve body and ball parts. Help in heating or cooling the flow media to keep the media in the required state and prevent seizing or crystallization.
- Some of the fluids that can be used as heating media in steam jacketed ball valve include thermic fluid oil, steam, and hot water.
- Generally used in media such as liquid sulfur and bitumen.
- Can be operated manually or actuated using valve actuators (electric and pneumatic actuators).
