AsalAra Metal-to-Metal Seated Ball Valve – High-Temperature & Abrasive Service
A fully welded, maintenance-free trunnion-mounted ball valve for buried and above-ground service in pipeline and transmission systems.
The AsalAra Full Welded Ball Valve is engineered for long-term durability and zero leakage in high-integrity gas and liquid pipeline applications. The all-welded body design eliminates body gaskets and potential leak paths, significantly reducing fugitive emissions and maintenance requirements. Designed to meet or exceed the requirements of API 6D, this valve is ideal for natural gas transmission, oil and condensate lines, and compressor station isolation. Its compact footprint, lightweight construction, and permanently sealed body offer maximum safety and operational performance over decades of service life.
AsalAra’s fully welded design can be customized with buried extensions, gearboxes, or actuators to suit specific site conditions and automation needs.
