Material & Applications

Why Carbon Steel WCB: WCB body with CF8M (SS 316) ball and stem provides corrosion-resistant internals with cost-effective carbon steel body. PTFE seat for clean service up to 200°C. RPTFE extends to 260°C. PEEK for abrasive or high-temperature service.

Typical applications: Process isolation, pipeline on-off service, tank farm, general utility. Fire-safe for oil & gas and refinery applications. Full bore for pigging. Reduced bore for cost-effective isolation.

Carbon Steel WCB Ball Valve FAQs

What does fire-safe mean?
Fire-safe to API 607 means the valve has a metal-to-metal backup seal that activates if the soft PTFE seat is damaged by fire. The valve maintains shut-off integrity during and after a fire event. Essential for oil & gas and refinery applications.
Trunnion vs floating ball?
Floating ball: ball moves toward downstream seat under pressure, creating seal. Simple and cost-effective for small sizes. Trunnion: ball is fixed on trunnions, spring-loaded seats move to create seal. Better for large sizes (NPS 8+) where the ball is too heavy to float. KSB uses trunnion from NPS 8 and above.
What is anti-blowout stem?
The stem is designed so that internal pressure cannot push it out of the body. A retaining mechanism ensures the stem stays in place even if the stem seal fails. This is a safety feature required by most process piping specifications.
Full bore vs reduced bore?
Full bore: internal bore matches the pipe ID, providing unrestricted flow with minimum pressure drop. Required for pigging and inline inspection. Reduced bore: smaller internal bore, lower cost, slightly higher pressure drop. Adequate for most on-off isolation applications.
