Sesto Cryogenic | Forged

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Sesto's cryogenic ball valves represent the pinnacle of Italian manufacturing excellence, specifically engineered for extreme low-temperature applications down to -196°C (-320°F). These premium valves feature a unique one-piece extended stem design and forged 316 body construction, eliminating potential leak paths and ensuring superior performance in demanding cryogenic environments.

Each valve undergoes rigorous testing at cryogenic temperatures, followed by ambient temperature verification, adhering to British Standard BS 6364 specifications. The innovative design includes precision-lapped PCTFE (KEL-F®) seats matched to the ball, providing exceptional shut-off capabilities while maintaining remarkably low operating torques.
