Designed for Critical Service with Unmatched Sealing Performance

Our orbit ball valves are engineered to deliver exceptional sealing performance and extended service life in the most demanding high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Unlike conventional ball valves, orbit valves feature a unique tilt-and-turn mechanism that eliminates seal rubbing—the primary cause of valve failure in traditional designs. This innovative approach ensures bubble-tight sealing and reliable operation in critical isolation points where safety and longevity are non-negotiable.

Engineered with Advanced Tilt-and-Turn Technology

The defining feature of orbit ball valves is their unique cam-and-slide mechanism, where the ball rotates and moves simultaneously to prevent seat wear. When the valve opens, the ball first lifts away from the seat before rotating, completely eliminating friction between sealing surfaces. This frictionless operation reduces torque requirements and extends seal life significantly compared to standard ball valves. The mechanical wedging action during closing ensures a positive, zero-leakage seal that remains reliable even under extreme pressure fluctuations and temperature variations.

Delivering Unmatched Durability and Low Maintenance

By investing in orbit ball valves, you secure long-term value through reduced maintenance requirements and extended service intervals. The absence of seal rubbing during operation means these valves can handle thousands of cycles without degradation in performance. The top-entry design facilitates easy in-line maintenance and component replacement, minimizing downtime and associated costs. With self-cleaning capabilities that flush away debris from sealing surfaces and low-torque operation that allows for compact, economical actuators, orbit valves deliver superior lifecycle cost efficiency for critical applications.

Built for the Most Demanding Industrial Applications

Orbit ball valves are the industry standard for oil and gas transmission, refinery and petrochemical process lines, offshore platforms, and power generation systems. They are specifically designed for high-pressure gas pipelines, hydrocarbon processing, and any application requiring ANSI Class 150 to 2500 ratings. These valves provide reliable shut-off for fluids ranging from natural gas and crude oil to steam and corrosive chemicals, making them ideal for molecular sieve systems, gas processing plants, and switching operations under high-temperature conditions.

The Superior Choice for Critical Isolation and Flow Control

When compared to standard ball valves, orbit valves offer superior sealing integrity, reduced seat wear, and longer service life—making them the preferred choice for applications where failure is not an option. Engineered to meet and exceed API 6D, ASME, and fire-safe API 607 standards, our orbit ball valves provide the reliability and performance needed for critical isolation in the world's most demanding industrial environments.
