Ball Valve threaded ends - High Pressure full bore ball valve NPT thread - 2007N | Genebre

Genebre 2007N high-pressure NPT ball valve

The Genebre 2007N is a one-piece, full-bore ball valve with female NPT threads to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. The body is ASTM A105 carbon steel, with AISI 304 stainless steel ball and stem and PEEK seats. Nominal pressure rating: Class 1500 / 255 bar. Temperature range: -30°C to +250°C, subject to pressure-temperature derating and media compatibility.

Typical applications

• high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic circuits
• test benches, skid-mounted packages and pressure test manifolds
• oil and fuel lines, where materials and seals are compatible
• instrument isolation and small-bore process connections
• industrial utility systems operating at elevated pressure

Suitable media and operating conditions

The valve is generally selected for clean liquids or gases where a compact shut-off valve with low pressure drop is required. Full bore reduces flow restriction in small sizes and helps maintain line capacity. For dirty service, crystallising fluids or media with solids, seat damage and leakage risk shall be assessed.

Valve selection notes

• Connection: NPT female threads require correct taper-thread engagement and suitable thread sealant compatible with the process fluid.
• Body material: ASTM A105 is used for carbon steel pressure-containing parts; corrosion allowance and external environment must be checked.
• Trim: SS304 ball and stem provide general corrosion resistance but may not be suitable for chlorides or aggressive chemicals.
• Seats: PEEK provides higher temperature and mechanical resistance than PTFE, but chemical compatibility must be verified.

Comparison with other variants

• 2007N: NPT threaded version for ANSI pipe-thread systems.
• BSP or ISO threaded variants: used where parallel or taper pipe threads are specified instead of NPT.
• Soft-seat PTFE versions: lower temperature capability but broader chemical compatibility in some services.

Actuation and operation

The valve is normally supplied for manual quarter-turn operation. If automated operation is required, actuator selection must consider available mounting arrangement, operating torque at differential pressure, cycle frequency, fail position and site utilities. Pneumatic or electric actuation should be engineered case by case.

Standards and documentation

• NPT threads: ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
• Pressure class reference: Class 1500
• Body material: ASTM A105 carbon steel
• Material certificates, pressure test reports and PED/UKCA requirements should be confirmed at procurement stage where applicable.

Use limitations

Steam service, corrosive chemicals, pulsating pressure, thermal cycling or high-frequency operation require verification of pressure-temperature rating, A105/SS304 material suitability, PEEK seat compatibility and leakage class expectations.

FAQ

• Is it suitable for steam? Only after checking the pressure-temperature curve and seat limitations for the actual steam condition.
• Can it be used for isolation of instruments? Yes, where NPT connections, pressure rating and media compatibility match the instrument line specification.
• Is it a control valve? No. It is intended for on/off isolation, not throttling or continuous modulating control.
