High-Performance Jacketed Ball Valves by FlowBiz – Temperature-Controlled Flow Isolation
In handling highly viscous fluids, molten polymers, bitumen, resins, sulfur, and heavy oils, temperature drops can cause process media to solidify, clog, or freeze inside the valve body. FlowBiz Jacketed Ball Valves are specialized flow isolation valves featuring a welded outer heating jacket designed for circulating steam, hot water, heat transfer oil, or media fluids to maintain precise process temperatures.
Manufactured with a full-coverage jacket encompassing the valve body from flange-to-flange, FlowBiz jacketed ball valves eliminate thermal cold spots, ensure smooth quarter-turn operation, and prevent media crystallization during production shut-downs or continuous operations.
Technical Specifications & Features
FlowBiz jacketed ball valves are custom-engineered for heavy-duty thermal and industrial piping systems:
- Jacket Construction: Weld-fabricated Full Jacket / Partial Jacket surrounding the main valve body.
- Jacket Connections: Threaded (NPT / BSP) or Socket Weld heating fluid inlet/outlet ports.
- Heating Medium: Suitable for Steam, Thermic Fluid / Thermal Oil, and Hot Water circulation.
- End Connections: ANSI Class 150# / 300# Oversized Flanges (to match standard jacket piping clearance).
- Operation: Manual lever operation with ergonomic red PVC sleeve and top mounting pad.
- Sealing & Trim: High-temperature PTFE / CFT / PEEK seats providing bubble-tight shut-off.
