Socket Weld Ball Valve – Compact, Leak-Tight Solution for High-Pressure Piping Systems

Need a compact, strong, and leak-proof valve for high-pressure or small-bore piping systems? At Perfect Engineers, we manufacture and supply high-performance Socket Weld Ball Valves, ideal for steam, oil, gas, chemical, and utility lines where threaded connections aren’t suitable and welding is required for durability.

Socket weld valves are preferred in applications that demand secure joints, minimal leakage, and precision pipe alignment, especially in power plants, refineries, chemical plants, and industrial automation systems.

What Is a Socket Weld Ball Valve?

A Socket Weld Ball Valve is a quarter-turn shut-off valve with recessed ends that allow the pipe to be inserted and welded for a strong, semi-permanent connection. These are best suited for:

  • Small-diameter, high-pressure pipelines (up to 2”)
  • Steam and thermal fluid systems
  • Fire protection and critical isolation points
  • Pipelines requiring vibration-resistant sealing

Key Features of Our Socket Weld Ball Valves

  1. End connection as per ASME B16.11 (SW Standard)
  2. Available in 1-piece, 2-piece, 3-piece and full bore or reduced bore options
  3. Built from WCB, A105, SS304/316, Duplex, Inconel
  4. Pressure Ratings: Class 150 to 800 / PN16 to PN100
  5. Fire-safe, anti-static, and blowout-proof stem (API 607)
  6. ISO 5211 mounting pad for pneumatic or electric actuation
  7. Compact design for tight spaces and skid mounting

Applications of Socket Weld Ball Valves

  1. Steam, condensate, and boiler feed systems
  2. LPG and fuel oil lines
  3. Compressed air, nitrogen, and inert gas systems
  4. Chemical dosing and injection skids
  5. Fire protection systems (isolation points
  6. Skid-mounted equipment and modular plants
  7. Power generation piping and turbine circuits

Installation Tips

  • Always follow ASME B31.1/B31.3 welding standards
  • Use socket depth gauge to ensure full penetration
  • Avoid excessive gap between pipe and socket shoulder
  • Perform post-weld pressure testing before commissioning
  • Choose metal or graphite seats for high-temperature lines
