TA2 Titanium Ball Valve for Corrosive Media, Seawater, and Chemical Processing
Der TA2 Ball Valve, PN16, DN20 (3/4 Inch), Flange End is a high-performance quarter-turn valve manufactured from TA2 Commercially Pure Titanium (Grade 2 Titanium). Designed for superior corrosion resistance and reliable shut-off, this Ventil is widely used in seawater desalination, marine engineering, chemical processing, pharmaceutical production, chlor-alkali plants, and other highly corrosive industrial environments.
Designed and manufactured in accordance with API 608, ASME B16.34, EN 1092-1, Und API 598, the TA2 titanium ball valve provides bubble-tight sealing, low operating torque, and exceptional durability while reducing maintenance costs in aggressive service conditions.
Why Choose a TA2 Titanium Ball Valve?
TA2 (Titanium Grade 2) is the most commonly used commercially pure titanium for industrial valve applications. It combines excellent corrosion resistance with high strength, low density, and outstanding weldability.
Compared with stainless steel or nickel alloys, TA2 titanium provides significantly longer service life in chloride-rich and seawater environments.
Key Benefits
- Outstanding corrosion resistance
- Excellent resistance to seawater and brine
- Lightweight construction
- Bubble-tight shut-off
- Low operating torque
- Long service life
- Excellent fatigue resistance
- Reduced lifecycle maintenance costs
