ASV Series Full Stainless Steel Angle Seat Valves

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications:

All 304/316 Stainless Steel Construction:

Both the valve body and the pneumatic actuator are constructed from stainless steel, providing total resistance to external corrosion from chemicals, saltwater, and washdown processes.

Heavy-Duty and Robust Design:

The all-metal construction makes this a true heavy-duty angle seat valve, able to withstand the harshest industrial environments and physical impacts.

Exceptional High Flow Rate:

The Y-pattern, angled seat design minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, allowing for the highest possible flow capacity, ideal for rapid filling and draining tasks.

High Temperature & Steam Service:

When equipped with FKM seals, this valve reliably handles media temperatures up to 150°C, making it a proven and dependable steam valve.

Hygienic Tri-Clamp Option:

In addition to threaded connections, this series is available with Tri-Clamp ends, making it a perfect sanitary angle seat valve for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

Visual Position Indicator:

A clear indicator on top of the actuator provides an immediate visual confirmation of the valve's open or closed status.

Application Fields

The Ultimate Choice for the Harshest Environments:

Chemical Processing: Where external chemical fumes or splashes would damage a standard plastic actuator.

Marine & Offshore: The ideal marine grade angle seat valve, offering total protection against saltwater corrosion.

Food & Beverage Washdown: Built to withstand aggressive, high-pressure cleaning chemicals used in "clean-in-place" (CIP) and "sterilize-in-place" (SIP) systems.

Pharmaceutical & Biotech: For applications where plant specifications demand all-stainless steel wetted and non-wetted parts.

Mining & Heavy Industry: Where a high level of physical durability and resistance to abrasion is required.

Technical & Selection Guide

When to Choose a Full Stainless Steel Actuator

While our plastic actuator version is suitable for most applications, you should upgrade to the full stainless steel model when:

The External Environment is Highly Corrosive: This is the primary reason. If the valve will be exposed to constant chemical fumes, saltwater spray, or aggressive washdown agents, the stainless steel actuator is essential for a long service life.

Maximum Durability is Required: For applications with a high risk of external physical impact, the all-metal construction offers superior protection.

Plant Specifications Require It: Some facilities, particularly in the pharmaceutical or nuclear industries, have strict material requirements that mandate all-stainless steel components.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: Is this valve better than the plastic actuator version?

A: For internal fluid-handling performance, they are identical. The full stainless steel version is "better" in terms of its resistance to external corrosion and physical damage. It is a more robust, heavy-duty product for tougher environments.

Q: Is the actuator also made from 316 stainless steel?

A: The actuator is typically made from 304 stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance for external, non-wetted parts. The wetted valve body is made from 304 or 316 stainless steel.

Q: Can I use this valve for steam?

A: Yes, absolutely. The valve's suitability for steam is determined by its internal seals (FKM) and body, making it a perfect steam valve with the added benefit of an ultra-durable external construction.
