The sealing element is vital for valves, preventing media leakage when closed. Made of durable, corrosion-resistant materials, it withstands pressure, temperature, and corrosion. Its repeated friction during operation makes material choice and manufacturing quality crucial for sealing performance and valve lifespan, regardless of valve type.
The "Cast Steel CF8M Reduced Bore 2X1 1/2IN 300LB RF Flange Floating Ball Valve" is a 2x1 1/2-inch reduced bore ball valve made of cast steel (CF8M), known for its corrosion resistance. It has a 300-pound pressure rating with a Raised Face (RF) flange connection.
