Instrumentation Ball Valves: 1/16 in to 1 in
Instrumentation ball valves isolate and switch small-bore lines on analyser houses, impulse lines, sampling systems and hydraulic panels. As a sourcing partner, R-LOK supplies one-, two- and three-piece bodies in 316 stainless steel or brass, from 1/16 in to 1 in (3 mm to 25 mm), in 1,000, 3,000 and 6,000 psig (69, 206 and 414 bar) classes, with PTFE or PEEK seats.

Body styles and ratings
The one-piece 120 series covers straight, angle and three-way switching bodies, rated 2,500 psig (172 bar), or 3,000 psig (206 bar) on the straight version. Ports run 1/16-3/4 in, bores 1.3-10.3 mm (0.052-0.406 in), and panel mounting uses a published hole dimension.
The two-piece 210 series is rated 1,000 psig (69 bar), sized 1/4-1 in (6-16 mm), with bores of 5.0-16.0 mm. The three-piece SBVH body reaches 3,000 or 6,000 psig (206 or 414 bar) with 5, 10 and 14 mm bores.
Materials and seating
One-piece 120 valves use PTFE (D1710) seats, packing and seals. Internals include ASTM A693 (S17700 / 17-7PH) disc springs, zinc-plated carbon steel locking screws and nylon handles with a 304 stainless steel insert.
Three-piece bodies seal on Viton (FKM) O-rings with PTFE seats; PEEK and DELRIN seats are alternatives. PEEK suits hot or cycling lines. The 210 series holds 1,000 psig (69 bar) at 70 °F (20 °C) only, and derates along the published pressure-temperature curve.
Ordering and documents
Variants follow a five-position order code: series, flow path (blank straight, A angle, 3 three-way), connection type (S tube, F female, M male), size code, and material code (SS 316 stainless steel, B brass). SBV120H1-A-S6M-SS is an angle body with 6 mm tube ends.
Size code 4 is 1/4 in, 6 is 3/8 in and 12 is 3/4 in; M marks metric sizes, and N or R marks NPT or BSPT. Handles: disc (120), lever with PVC sleeve or disc (210), nylon with 304 stainless steel insert (three-piece).
Standards referenced: NPT threads to ASME B1.20.1; BSPT (ISO 7/1) offered as an alternative; 316 stainless steel to ASTM A479; brass to ASTM B16 (C36000); Ratings stated at 70 °F (20 °C), derated on the published curve.
Typical duties: Impulse and gauge lines on wellhead metering skids; Analyser houses and sampling systems in refineries; High-purity gas panels for semiconductor and photovoltaic fabs; Hydraulic and pneumatic test benches and calibration rigs; Compressed gas panels and cylinder manifolds; Power station instrument and steam sampling systems.

Selection notes: Series / model combines the printed series name SBV210 with the printed size code in the first two columns of the dimension table on page 5-06. Working pressure 1000psig(69bar)@70°F(20°C) is the series pressure rating in the technical parameters table on page 5-05; page 5-06 does not restate a pressure for each size code.
Catalogue reference 5-05, 5-06, 5-09. Confirm the final rating against the data sheet issued with your order.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
The minimum is normally one carton per size and material, and mixed orders are accepted. Standard 316 stainless steel and brass valves ship in roughly 15 to 25 working days after order confirmation; actuated or special-seat assemblies take longer.
Which seat material suits my line temperature?
PTFE is standard and covers general service to 350 °F (177 °C). PEEK runs hotter, -65 to 500 °F (-54 to 260 °C). The one-piece 120 series uses PTFE packing, catalogued for 50 to 150 °F (10 to 65 °C).
Which documents come with the valves?
Every shipment carries the packing list and commercial invoice. Material certificates for bodies, balls and stems, and dimensional inspection reports, come on request; nitrogen test records can be issued per production lot. List the documents you need on the purchase order.
