Great balls of fire
15 Jan 2000
Specifically designed for flammable fluid duties or hazardous area locations, Spirax Sarco's M10F ball valves minimise the risks of valve leakage during and after a fire.
The valve provides total closure in the event of a fire. It achieves this because, in the event of a fire, the valve's seal and seat - against which the ball rests when closed under normal working conditions - will be destroyed but the ball will rest firmly against the metal seat in the valve's cap, producing a metal-to-metal closing.
Comprising a forged carbon steel body and stainless steel ball and stem, the certified M10F is suitable for temperatures of up to 200 degrees C and pressures up to 62barg.
