API 607 Fire Safe Ball Valve
Fire safe ball valves are API 607 Certificated, minimizing fugitive emissions and downstream leakage in the event of being exposed to high temperatures characteristic of fires.
The Applications of API 607 Fire Safe Ball Valve
API 607 fire-safe ball valves are designed to maintain integrity and provide positive shutoff during and after exposure to fire. They are critical safety components in oil, gas, and chemical processing facilities where fire risk is present. These specialized valves help prevent the spread of fires and uncontrolled release of hazardous media.
How to Select the Right API 607 Fire Safe Ball Valve
When selecting an API 607 fire-safe ball valve, key factors include the pipeline size, pressure rating, and media properties. The valve materials and design must be compliant with fire-safe standards to withstand high temperatures and maintain functionality. Other important considerations are the valve’s flow capacity, end connections, and maintenance requirements for the specific safety-critical application.
