Lining Thickness : - Minimum Lining thickness would be 3.0 mm over all wetted portion.
Chemical Inertness :-
- PFA/ FEP is chemically inert to most of the all chemicals and solvents with the exception of molten alkali metals.
- PFA / FEP lined valves are used to convey, and are inert to, these chemicals : All acids including hydrofluoric, sulphuric and aqua regia, all caustic, all chlorides organic and inorganic, all solvents, all bleach solutions, all peroxides, all phenols and any combinations of above materials.
- Combined with the chemical inertness of PFA / FEP is its unique non-stick property. Thus a PFA / FEP lined products eliminate or minimize the built up of deposits of the products which otherwise reduce flow and affect processing operations.
- PFA / FEP Lined Ball Valves Finish :-
- The interior surface of all valves are clean and free of mold burrs, rust, scale or others that may adversely affect the performance of lining.
- The exterior surface of all valve bodies are be cleaned by sand / shot blasting and painted by 1 coat of Epoxy primer and 2 coats of Polyurethane Top coat.
- Products Inspection and Testing :-
- Hydrostatic Pressure :-
- Body Test : 10 Kg/Cm2
- Seat Test : 10 Kg/Cm2
- (Hydrostatic pressure at room temperature using clean water.)
- Electrostatic Pressure :-
- Non-destructive high-voltage test at an output voltage of 10,000 V. When electric contact is made, a visible/ audible spark or both occur at the probe if there is any defect in lining.
Visual Inspection :- All surfaces are free from blister, porosity or any other defect. All checks / tests are conducted before shipment.
Storage & Transport :-
- Each end of valve is protected by specially made rubber cap so that products are capable to withstand normal handling during transport.
- All the materials are supplied with export wooden case or card box packing depending upon the weight and mode of shipment.

Superior Chemical ResistanceWith its PTFE lining on both the body and the ball, this valve delivers exceptional corrosion protection against aggressive chemicals, acids, salts, and industrial fluids. This design extends the valves lifespan and reliability, especially in demanding applications found in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and water treatment plants.
Precision Flow ControlThe gear-operated mechanism allows accurate manual adjustment, ensuring smooth operation, even in high-pressure environments. This makes the PTFE lined ball valve an excellent choice for processes that require both safety and precision, accommodating a wide range of flow rates with its full bore design.
Versatile Industry ApplicationsDesigned to handle various fluids, including corrosives and salts, these valves are ideal for chemical processing, paper and pulp plants, petrochemical industries, and water treatment facilities. The flange-end configuration ensures easy integration into existing piping systems, meeting ANSI, DIN, and IS standards.
FAQs of PTFE Lined Gear Operated Ball Valve:
Q: How does the PTFE lining enhance the ball valves performance in corrosive environments?
A: The PTFE lining acts as a protective barrier, shielding both the body and the ball from aggressive chemicals, acids, and salts. This greatly improves the valves durability, reduces the risk of corrosion-related failures, and ensures longer service life even in very harsh operating conditions.
Q: What is the process to operate this gear operated ball valve?
A: Operation is manual through a gear mechanism. Turning the handwheel or lever rotates the ball, allowing precise flow control. The gear system offers increased mechanical advantage, making it easier to actuate the valve even at higher pressures or larger sizes.
Q: Where can this PTFE lined valve be installed?
A: These valves are suitable for installation in chemical plants, pharmaceutical units, pulp and paper mills, petrochemical facilities, and water treatment plantsanywhere safe handling of corrosive, acidic, or saline fluids is required.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a full bore, PTFE lined ball valve?
A: A full bore design minimizes pressure drop and allows unrestricted flow, reducing energy losses. The PTFE lining provides superior resistance to chemicals, while the robust materials ensure operating reliability and easy maintenance in demanding applications.
Q: When should you consider using a gear operated valve instead of a standard lever?
A: Gear operated valves are preferable for larger sizes (DN100 and above) or higher pressure applications, where a standard lever would require excessive effort. The gear mechanism makes precise modulation and operation much easier and safer for the user.
Q: What connection standards are available for this valve?
A: The valve can be supplied with flange ends in accordance with ANSI B16.5, DIN, or IS standards, offering compatibility with a wide variety of international and regional piping systems.
