Full Bore Stainless Steel Ball Valve — ART 993H
Built for the most demanding industrial environments, the Albion ART 993H is a heavy-duty, full bore stainless steel ball valve engineered to deliver reliable media isolation across high pressure, high temperature pipelines. Rated to 82 bar and capable of handling temperatures from -25°C to 200°C, it performs consistently across chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, food processing, and general industrial automation applications, where failure simply isn't an option.
Its three piece body design sets it apart from conventional valves. The middle section swings out for in-line cleaning and maintenance without disturbing the threaded pipe ends, reducing downtime and making servicing significantly more straightforward. BSPT threads ensure secure, leak resistant joints throughout, whilst the integrated ISO 5211 mounting pad allows pneumatic or electric actuators to be fitted directly, no awkward adapter brackets required.
For installations where pipe insulation or thermal lagging is essential, the ART 993H provides the necessary clearance to protect both manual handles and automated actuators from extreme fluid temperatures. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion from aggressive fluids, washdown chemicals, and harsh outdoor conditions, ensuring a long service life even in the most punishing environments. It is also ATEX-certified, making it a dependable choice for explosive or hazardous atmospheres, including oil refineries and chemical plants where flammable gases or dust are present.
