Multipurpose AFS Ball Valves

Alternative Fuel Service Ball Valves

With flow coefficients up to 13.8, Swagelok multipurpose AFS 2-way ball valves meet the demands of compressed natural gas, hydrogen, and other general industrial applications where high flow and higher pressures are required. They feature low operating torque, no need for packing adjustment, compatibility with hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG), and ECE R110, NGV 3.1, and NGV 4.6 approval.

See all alternative fuels certifications and approval documents.


Testing

Every Swagelok AFS ball valve is factory tested in both directions with nitrogen at 1000 psig (69 bar). Seats have a maximum allowable leak rate of 0.1 std cm3/min.Shell testing is performed to a requirement of no detectable leakage with a liquid leak detector.


Cleaning and Packaging

All Swagelok AFS ball valves are cleaned and packaged in accordance with Swagelok Standard Cleaning and Packaging (SC-10).


Options and Accessories

  • Ultralow-temperature nitrile (Buna C) stem seal material is available as an option to enhance valve cycle life. Valves with ultralow-temperature nitrile have a temperature rating of –40 to 200°F (–40 to 93°C) and are not certified to AGA, IAS, or ECE R110.
  • Handles: nylon directional, nylon oval, aluminum directional, locking brackets
  • Pneumatic actuators and ISO 5211-compliant pneumatic actuators; ISO 5211-compliant actuator mounting bracket kits
    • Solenoid valves
    • Position indicators
    • Limit switches
