APOLLO VALVES 61-100-01 Ball Cone Spring Check Valve, Single Flow, Inline Ball Cone, Bronze, 3 Inch Pipe Size

Apollo 61-100-01 ball valve is ideal for controlling the fluid by restricting flow to one direction and blocking the reverse flow. It is used in the oil & gas, chemical processing and HVAC industries.

Working Mechanism:

• Check valve features a dual-port configuration and regulates the movement of fluids and loose substances within a conduit or channel, permitting passage exclusively in a singular direction.
• Flow enters via one port while egress occurs through the other, culminating in closure during either flow reversal or cessation.
• A ball cone valve employs a ball that is spring-loaded and positioned against an interior surface shaped like a cone, effectively halting fluid advancement.

Features:

• Apollo 61-100-01 ball cone spring check valve features a bronze body, ensuring robustness and corrosion resistance.
• It can handle pressures up to 400 psi at 100 degrees F and 125 psi for steam applications at 350 degrees F.
• This spring check valve features a stainless steel spring for durability and corrosion resistance.
• It has a ball check made of RPTFE with 15% glass filling for enhancing sealing efficiency.
• This cone ball valve is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400 degrees F, enabling usage in high-temperature environments.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the cracking pressure of Apollo 61-100-01 ball valve?

A. It has a cracking pressure of 1/2 psi.

Q. How to clean this spring check valve?

A. It incorporates a self-cleaning mechanism that utilises the ball's rotation to wipe the seal surfaces, reducing the risk of buildup or contamination. This design is employed in applications where debris accumulation could compromise valve performance.

Q. Can this ball valve accommodate high-pressure systems without compromising its sealing capabilities?

A. The valve's robust construction includes reinforced seals to handle high pressures effectively. However, it's essential to adhere to pressure and temperature limits specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance and safety.

Q. What is the recommended protocol for emergency shut-off using Apollo 61-100-01 ball valve in critical processes?

A. To ensure swift shut-off in emergencies, a clearly marked and easily accessible manual operation lever is typically provided. Familiarise operators with its usage and integrate it into emergency response training.
