JIS G5121 10K Flange End Stainless Steel Ball Valve
JIS G5121 10K Flange End SCS13/14 Stainless Steel Ball Valve is a high-performance quarter-turn valve designed for reliable shut-off and flow control in industrial piping systems. Manufactured in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), this valve combines robust stainless steel construction, excellent corrosion resistance, and dependable sealing performance, making it suitable for water treatment, chemical processing, marine applications, food production, and general industrial services.
Constructed from JIS G5121 stainless steel castings, the valve body is available in SCS13 and SCS14 materials. SCS13 is equivalent to CF8/SS304 stainless steel, while SCS14 corresponds to CF8M/SS316 stainless steel, providing enhanced resistance to chloride corrosion and aggressive media. These materials ensure long service life even under demanding operating conditions.
Product Overview
The valve utilizes a floating ball design that allows the ball to move slightly under line pressure, ensuring tight sealing against the downstream seat. With a simple 90-degree rotation of the handle or actuator, the valve can be fully opened or closed, providing fast and efficient operation. The full-port design minimizes pressure loss and ensures smooth fluid flow through the pipeline.
The flange ends are manufactured according to JIS standards, allowing easy installation and interchangeability with other JIS pipeline components. The JIS 10K pressure rating corresponds to a nominal pressure of approximately 1.0 MPa (10 bar), making the valve suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Main Features
1. Premium Stainless Steel Construction
BOPIN JIS 10K ball valves are manufactured using high-quality stainless steel castings conforming to JIS G5121 requirements. The available material options include:
- SCS13 (equivalent to ASTM CF8 / SS304)
- SCS14 (equivalent to ASTM CF8M / SS316)
These materials offer excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and durability in various service environments. SCS14 is particularly suitable for seawater, chemical fluids, and chloride-containing media.
2. Full-Port Design
The full-bore construction provides an unrestricted flow path through the valve. This design minimizes pressure drop, reduces turbulence, and improves overall system efficiency. It is especially beneficial in applications where maintaining flow capacity is critical.
3. Reliable Tight Shut-Off
The precision-machined stainless steel ball and PTFE seats provide bubble-tight sealing performance. The resilient seat design ensures reliable shut-off even after thousands of operating cycles, helping prevent leakage and reducing maintenance requirements.
4. Blow-Out Proof Stem
For enhanced operational safety, the valve incorporates a blow-out proof stem design. The stem is internally mounted within the valve body, preventing accidental stem ejection under pressure and ensuring safe operation throughout the valve's service life.
5. Easy Operation
The quarter-turn mechanism allows quick opening and closing with minimal torque. The valve can be operated manually with a lever handle or fitted with pneumatic and electric actuators for automated process control.
