SS TC Ball Valve

A Stainless Steel (SS) TC Ball Valve is a type of ball valve designed with tri-clamp (TC) end connections, commonly used in sanitary applications in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and cosmetics. Here are the key features and characteristics:

Material:

• SS TC ball valves are typically constructed from high-quality stainless steel, such as SS304 or SS316L. These materials offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and hygienic properties, making them suitable for sanitary applications.

Tri-Clamp (TC) End Connections:

• TC end connections, also known as tri-clamp or tri-clover fittings, are widely used in sanitary piping systems due to their ease of assembly, disassembly, and cleaning.
• The TC end connections on SS TC ball valves allow for quick and secure installation into sanitary piping systems without the need for welding, minimizing potential contamination and facilitating maintenance.

Ball Valve Design:

• A ball valve consists of a spherical disc (the ball) with a hole through its center. When the valve is open, the hole is aligned with the flow path, allowing fluid to pass through. When closed, the ball is rotated 90 degrees to block the flow.
• Ball valves offer quick and reliable shut-off capabilities, as well as precise flow control when operated in the partially open position.

Sanitary Design:

• SS TC ball valves are designed with sanitary features to meet the strict hygiene requirements of sanitary applications. This includes smooth, crevice-free surfaces to prevent bacterial growth and easy disassembly for cleaning and sterilization.

Applications:

• SS TC ball valves are commonly used in sanitary applications where cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance are essential. Typical applications include food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech, cosmetics production, and semiconductor manufacturing.
• They are suitable for controlling the flow of various liquids, including water, milk, juices, beer, pharmaceutical solutions, and more.

Advantages:

• Hygienic Design: SS TC ball valves are designed to meet stringent hygiene standards, making them suitable for use in sanitary applications.
• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
• Easy Maintenance: The design of TC ball valves allows for easy disassembly and cleaning, minimizing downtime and ensuring product quality.
• Quick Installation: TC end connections enable quick and secure installation into sanitary piping systems without the need for welding, reducing installation time and costs.
