Ball Valve Manufacturer
At Steel Icon Stainless Pvt. Ltd., we are a leading manufacturer of industrial Ball Valves, designed for high-performance fluid control across a range of critical industries. Ball valves are quarter-turn shutoff devices that use a hollow, perforated ball to control flow—offering fast operation, minimal pressure loss, and reliable sealing.
Our ball valves are manufactured using high-grade materials like Stainless Steel 304/316, CF8M, WCB, Duplex, and Inconel, and are available in a variety of end connections such as flanged, socket weld, butt weld, and threaded types. Built to meet or exceed API 608, ASME B16.34, BS 5351, and ISO 5211 standards, these valves are widely used in oil & gas, water systems, chemical processing, power generation, HVAC, and food-grade pipelines.

Applications
Ball valves are essential in flow systems where fast shutoff, leak-tight performance, and low-pressure drop are critical. They are extensively used in:
- Oil & Gas – Isolation of crude, gas, and condensate lines in refineries and terminals
- Chemical & Petrochemical – Process fluid handling, solvent transfer, CIP/SIP systems
- Water & Wastewater – Distribution lines, filtration units, and effluent discharge
- Food & Beverage – Hygienic pipelines, clean-in-place valves, and bottling plants
- Power Plants – Cooling water control, turbine systems, fuel feed lines
- HVAC Systems – Automated heating/cooling valve controls, chilled water systems
Key Benefits
- Bubble-Tight Shut-Off
- Suitable for both liquid and gaseous applications with zero leakage performance.
- Low Torque Operation
- Even at higher pressures, valves open and close smoothly with minimal resistance.
- Full Bore Option Available
- Ensures zero flow restriction, perfect for slurry or viscous media.
- Long Cycle Life
- Engineered to operate across thousands of on/off cycles without degradation.
- Fire-Safe and Anti-Static Options
- Compliant with fire-safe design specs and explosion-prone area regulations.
- Automation-Ready
- ISO 5211 mounting pad for direct fitting of electric or pneumatic actuators.
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our FAQs for insights on materials, customization, and delivery.
What’s the difference between floating and trunnion-mounted ball valves?
- Floating: Ball is held in place by seat rings and is suitable for low to medium pressure.
- Trunnion Mounted: Ball is anchored by shaft supports, ideal for high-pressure applications.
Can ball valves be used for throttling or partial flow?
While possible, it’s not recommended, as this can damage the seat. For throttling, use globe or needle valves.
What makes metal-seated ball valves different?
They’re designed for abrasive fluids, high temperatures, or where soft seats may erode, offering a longer lifespan.
Do you offer certifications and documentation?
Yes. All valves are supplied with MTCs, hydrostatic test reports, and third-party inspection if required.
What is the lead time for bulk valve orders?
Standard orders ship within 3-7 days, while custom orders take 7-14 days, depending on requirements.
