High Pressure Instrument Ball Valve (IBV)
1/4” - 3/4" NPT
1/4” - 3/4" Dual Ferrule Tube
3/8" and 1/2" O'Ring Face Seal
Description
High Pressure Instrument Ball Valves offer reliable 1/4-turn shutoff for pressures up to 6,000 Psig (413 bar). These valves feature a Micro-Finished Floating Ball design to provide a positive seal in both directions. Series IBV Instrument Ball Valves also feature a “straight-through” flow path to ensure high flows with minimum pressure drop. The valves are designed to operate with a low operation torque while providing a long service life. All valve configurations can be panel mounted.

Technical Data
- Pressure Rating: 6,000 Psig (413 Bar) at 100°F (3:1 SF)
- Per NFPA 52 (2013): 4,750 Psig (328 Bar)
- Per ASME B31.3 (2012): 4,400 Psig (303 Bar)
- Temperature Rating: -65° to 200°F (-54° to 93°C)
