Swagelok® 40G Series Ball Valve Technical Bulletin

The
Swagelok® 40 series one-piece instrumentation ball valve has
performed reliably for nearly 40 years in multiple industries.
Swagelok has modified the valve construction and developed an
innovative assembly process. The result is the new 40G series ball
valve, which features an expanded operating temperature rating,
improved thermal cycling capabilities, and reduced potential for
leaks.
Using a patent-pending seal design, the 40G series ball valve
resists packing deformation, or “cold-flow,” for increased thermal
performance and improved leak resistance. Its expanded temperature
range, from –65 to 300°F (–53 to 148°C), meets application demands
for both environmental and heated-process applications (Figure 1).
3-Piece Process/Instrumentation 60 Series Ball Valves
With a unique coned-disc, spring-loaded seat; live-loaded,
two-piece chevron stem packing; and three-piece, swing-out design, 3-piece process/instrumentation 60 series ball valves are designed for reliability and low maintenance.
They are available in many materials, configurations, and options, as
well as special-service valves for steam, thermal, low-temperature,
all-welded, rapid-cycle, chlorine, and fire services.
