Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Neles ball valves suitable for severe process service?
Neles ball valves use application-based seat selection, offering both metal-to-metal and soft-seated designs, along with anti-blowout stems, allowing reliable tight shutoff even in abrasive, corrosive, or cryogenic process conditions.
Can Neles valves be fitted with automated actuation for DCS control?
Yes, Neles ball valves accept pneumatic or electric actuators with digital positioners that integrate into DCS or SCADA systems for automated on-off or throttling control.
Are Neles valves suitable for high-temperature or cryogenic applications?
Neles modular ball valve series are rated across an operating range of roughly -200 degC to +600 degC, making them suitable for both cryogenic gas handling and high-temperature process duties such as catalyst handling.
What industrial applications commonly use Neles ball valves?
Neles valves are widely deployed in oil & gas production and refining, petrochemical processing, pulp & paper, and polymer manufacturing, wherever tight shutoff and long service life under demanding conditions are required.
