With this valve FLOWSERVE compliments the extensive Atomac ball valve range. Compared to a floating ball design, the ATOMAC AKH8 offers a one piece ball and stem unit. Through this connection between the ball and stem the use in sticky, adhesive and highly viscous fluid applications is improved, particularly in high cycling requirements as the stem drive connection into the ball slot in floating ball design valves may deteriorate.
The excellent construction and design of the static and dynamic body joint sealing of our ATOMAC AKH2.2 with the metal of metal connection is also integrated in this new monoblock ball valve. Through this, piping vibrations as well as thermal cycling cannot negative effect the valve torque or the body seal.
