Ceramic ball valves and other Ceramic products

Thermitec uses new zirconia ceramic to produce the best performing and lowest cost valve for use in many applications including corrosive/erosive fluids.

Advantages of structural ceramic ball valves include hi-economy, long life, increased resistance to corrosion, high temperature, wear and erosion. They are commonly used in transportation systems of various acid, alkaline or saline gases, high working temperature steams and slurries, in the lines of oil industry, metallurgy, papermaking, power stations and refineries. 

Ceramic ball valves are the ideal substitute for titanium and monel valves in corrosive environments. There are four types of driving performances, manual, pneumatic, pneumatic-spring return and electric.

Various special valves can be designed on demand. Furthermore, various high wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and high temperature-resistant ceramic components, hydraulic pressure sealing components can be provided as well.

• Typical properties of structural ceramic ball valves include:

Wide-range of applications
Structural ceramic ball valves are applicable to various acid, alkaline or saline solutions, gaseous media, etc. Hard sealing ball valves can also be used in media with particles and fibers

Wear and corrosion resistance
The valve ball, valve seat and inner lining are all made of Hi-performance structural ceramics with hardness of HRA87 or above. So structural ceramic ball valves can withstand the impact of hi-speed liquids and hard grains, displaying excellent performance on wear and corrosion resistance.

Corrosion resistance
The valve ball, valve seat and the inner lining are all made of Hi-performance structural ceramics which have excellent corrosion-resistance.
