Many kinds of Ball Valves are being used as ON/OFF valves in controlling the flow whether liquid or gas. The ball valves are further distinguished based on the types of their end connection which could be flanged end (you can also read our blog on “What is 1 piece Flanged End Ball Valve?”, screwed end, socket weld end or wafer type. Today we shall be discussing Wafer Type Ball Valves and their uses.
What is a Wafer Type Ball Valve?
OSKO Wafer Ball Valves save space and cost.
Wafer type Ball Valve is a ball valve with a very short face-to-face or length with an additional feature for zero holdup of material. Its compact design makes it a synonym for short face-to-face or short-length valve. Wafer Type Ball Valves can be of greater advantage if used in a system where one needs to work with very limited space available. Here the valve with the help of bolts can be stationed between two flanges. OSKO Valves offer the best quality Wafer Type Ball Valves in India. They are available in body materials like WCB, stainless steel grades like CF8, and CF8M, or in any other special metal. Solid ball and hollow ball variations are available. The design standard that we follow is as per IS/ISO 17292 and BS 5351. We follow API 598, and IS/ ISO 17292 testing standards. The end connection is wafer to suit ANSI #150. The salient features of OSKO Wafer Type Ball Valves are as below:
