EK71

EK71

The Argus EK71 ball valve with its many innovative design features represents the highest standards in valve technology and is designed to meet the API-6D, ANSI 16.34 and BS 5351 requirements. One piece low temperature forged Carbon Steel body design (end entry) with superfine finished seat supported ball, anti-blowout stem, compact ball seats and anti-static device. Long life double stem seal system and stem supported in bearings to ensure seals are free from operating loads. Stem sealing construction complies with the latest TA-Luft and EPA (Method 21) fugitive emissions requirements.

Improved plant and personnel safety from valve design, which meets fugitive emission standard ISO 15848

Scalloped Seat design to prevent solids and particulate from building in the seat pocket

Special bearing configurations, including cladding of critical areas and trim coating configurations, improve valve lifetime

Designed for temperatures for the highest demands on valve tightness in process and to atmosphere (FE)

Chambered ball seats, seat pocket body design, stem seal protection and flushing system designs support valve performance and extend service lifetime

Process optimized coatings, cladding option and wearing protection feature for extended ball valve lifetime

Flushing options in critical valve areas (e.g., on seats, stem or cavity) avoid media build-up to improve service lifetime
