Lined Ball Valve

A lined ball valve is a specialized type of valve used for fluid control within various industries. It combines the features of a ball valve with the protective benefits of a lining material, making it well-suited for applications involving corrosive or abrasive fluids. A lined ball valve is a type of ball valve that consists of a body, stem, ball, seat and lining. The interior is completely lined with a high quality PTFE or PFA lining material, which due to its thickness completely protects the valve from any chemical corrosion, making it an excellent choice for any harsh application.

What is the difference between a lined ball/globe valve and an unlined ball valve?

Lined ball valves offer all the same features as unlined valves, but are a cost-effective solution for chemical and severe corrosion applications that require long-term sealing and reliability. They are durable, reliable and perform well after many cycles, making them an excellent choice for shutoff and control applications.

They can often be installed regardless of flow direction and are well suited for automation because they feature universal mounting pads that allow easy automation even when valves are present in the pipeline. The stem design has an anti-blowout feature to ensure increased safety, while each lined ball valve has its own anti-static device to prevent potentially dangerous

electrostatic discharge.
