Ball Valves

3-Way Series
Pressures to 20,000 psi (1379 bar)

Autoclave Engineers high-pressure ball valves have been designed

to provide superior quality for maximum performance within a
variety of valve styles, sizes, and process connections. Some of the
more unique design innovations include an integral one-piece trun-
nion mounted style ball and stem that eliminates the shear failure
common in two piece designs, re-torqueable seat glands that result
in longer seat life, and a low friction stem seal that reduces actuation
torque and enhances cycle life.

These ball valves can also be modified to incorporate the use of

special materials, seals for high temperature applications, subsea Flow Configuration
models, and valve actuators.

When it comes to high-pressure applications, these ball valves

with the associated high-pressure components, provide the critical
performance demanded by the high pressure market.

AE Ball Valve Features:

• One-piece, trunnion mounted style, stem design
eliminates shear failure found in two piece designs and
reduces effects of side loading.
• Re-torqueable seat glands for longer seat life. 3-Way
