Stainless Steel Ball Valve Construction

Constructed from premium stainless steel, the WE10-B-EP provides exceptional corrosion resistance and structural integrity. The stainless steel ball valves design ensures a smooth, full-bore flow path, minimizing pressure drop and improving process efficiency. The polished surface provides excellent chemical resistance and prevents contamination, making it suitable for both industrial and sanitary applications. Combined with PTFE sealing and precision machining, it delivers tight shutoff performance even under high temperature and high-pressure conditions, ensuring long-term durability and reliable operation in demanding environments.

Flanged Connection and Compatibility

The flanged ball valve configuration (ANSI/JIS/DIN) enables quick installation, stable alignment, and easy maintenance. Its robust design ensures dependable sealing and long-term service reliability, making it a preferred choice for electrically actuated automation systems. The global standard compatibility allows the valve to integrate seamlessly with pipelines in industrial, chemical, and energy sectors.

Working Principle

The WE10-B-EP Electric Flanged Explosion-Proof Ball Valve operates through an electrically actuated control mechanism that converts electrical energy into rotary motion. When a signal is received from a PLC, DCS, or manual switch, the explosion-proof actuator rotates the valve ball by 90°, opening or closing the flow path with precision. The actuator’s sealed, flameproof housing isolates the internal motor and wiring from external flammable gases or vapors, preventing ignition in hazardous zones. This explosion proof electric ball valve ensures fast, stable, and repeatable operation, enabling accurate flow control in automated process systems while maintaining compliance with ATEX and IECEx safety standards.
