Ceramic Ball
Valve Components

Wear, Corrosion, and Thermal Solutions for
your Processing Equipment Challenges

CerCo manufactures ceramic ball
valve components to customer specifications in
many formulations for solving various highly
abrasive, and/or highly corrosive fluid-handling
applications. Diamonite® alumina, zirconia, or
silicon nitride formulations can increase the
working life of process equipment wherever
wear, corrosion and thermal problems shorten
the life of ball valves. Components we
manufacture for valve sizes 1/4" through 6"
and larger include:

Because CerCo ceramic ball valve components are chemically and thermally stable and machined to precise tolerances, they maintain better fit than plastic composite materials at temperatures exceeding 600°F (315°C). By maintaining precise fit under changing chemical
and thermal and thermal conditions, CerCo
ceramic ball valve components prevent leakage and insure that orifice flow rates are maintained. Zirmonite® zirconia-based
ceramic is rare-earth stabilized and offers
higher strength than traditional magnesia-
based zirconia ball valve components.

SN-100 is available for applications involving temperatures up to 1800°F (980°C). Our 99.5% alumina is CerCo's most chemically inert and acid-resistant formulation.

Handling of:
coal; limestone; fly ash; salt; kaolin
pulp; ferric chloride; titanium dioxide; chromic acid chlorine; sulfite crystals; sludge; acetic acid; and bromine.
