ADVANTAGES
|
|
ASME/BPE-2002
|
Designed specifically for the demanding process requirements found in the pharmaceutical, biotech, cosmetic, food and other industries where aseptic conditions are required.
|
|
5% or Less Ferrite Content
|
Content of less than 5% to prevent rouging. Less than 1% ferrite available as an option. (BPE 2002)
|
|
Low Sulphur
|
All welded end parts made from 316L stainless steel supplied with sulphur content of 0.005 - 0.017% assuring the integrity of the orbital welding. (BPE 2002)
|
|
All Wetted Parts Polish To 14-18 Ra, 240 Grit
|
Significantly reduces friction between valve and media. Crevice-free smooth surface helps eliminate areas where contaminants can proliferate. (BPE 2002)
|
|
FDA Compliant Material Hygienic Seating Design
|
TFM® seat provides a bubble-tight bidirectional shut off. Encapsulated PTFE body seal eliminates entrapment area between valve body and valve-end. Optional TFE or TFM cavity fillers eliminate the dead space between the ball and valve body. (BPE 2002)
|
|
Extended Butt Weld Ends
|
Meets table DT-4 minimal length for automatic welding. (BPE 2002)
|
|
Tube Full Port Design (TFP)
|
Tube full-port maintains unrestricted flow of media.
|
|
3-Piece Design
|
In-line serviceable swing out center section allows easy access to internal valve components without disturbing alignment of tubing. Functions as both valve and union.
|
|
Integral Mounting Pad
|
Actuation centering lip feature assures precise alignment of bracket, stem and coupler. Actuators may be retrofit on existing 88 Series valves without disruption of line integrity. Allows for secondary containment unit to be added when required.
|
|
Lockable Handle
|
All Sharpe Series 88 Valves meet OSHA standards with locking device. Prevents valves from being opened or closed accidentally.
|
|
Variety of Aseptic End Connections
|
Standard ends are Tri Clamp® (CE) or buttweld end extensions (BTE) for orbital welders. Optional end connections for Flush Bottom tank pads, socket weld tube, short buttweld, buttweld tube of Cherry Burrell I, S, Q line, and KF.
|
|
High Cycle Stem Design
|
Live loaded, bottom entry, blowout proof anti-static stem features packing that extends valve cycle life over conventional ball valves and is the best choice for actuation.
|
|
Encapsulated Body Bolts
|
Heavy duty stainless steel bolting is protected from outside environment and is ideal for washdowns.
|
|
Traceability
|
Heat numbers are provided for all wetted parts, body, stem, ball, and ends. CMTR’s (Certified Mill Test Reports).
|
|
Handles
|
Variety of options including oval, extended, spring return, fusible link.
