Long Pattern Ball Valve
ASME B16.10 Long Pattern Ball Valves are designed to meet the face-to-face (FTF) dimensional requirements specified in the ASME B16.10 standard for "long pattern" valves, ensuring compatibility and reliability in specific piping system.
We align with ASME B16.10 face to face dimensions long pattern for consistency. Our ball valves are always in compliance with the latest standard revisions.
- Valve Type
- Ball Valve
- Standard
- ASME B16.10
- Size
- 1/2"-48"
- Origin
- China
Key Features:
- Dimensions: The Face to face (end to end) length is longer than standard ball valves. Exact measurements vary by valve size and pressure class (e.g., a 2" Class 150 valve has specific Face to face lengths in ASME B16.10 tables).
- Compliance: Meets ASME B16.10 for interchangeability. Pressure-temperature ratings follow ASME B16.34.
- Materials: Typically carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloys, depending on application requirements.
Long Pattern Ball Valve:
- Design Purpose:
- Accommodates thermal expansion in piping systems.
- Provides space for insulation, actuation, or installation in wider-spaced pipelines.
- Reduces stress on connected piping due to alignment flexibility.
- Applications: Common in high-temperature systems, large-scale industrial piping, or where piping flexibility is critical.
ASME B16.10 Standard:
- Scope: This standard defines face-to-face dimensions for valves (e.g., gate, globe, check, and ball valves) to ensure interchangeability between manufacturers.
- Patterns: It includes "standard" (short) and "long" patterns. The "long pattern" provides extended FTF lengths compared to the standard.
