ASTM B62 Ball Valve

An ASTM B62 Ball Valve is a valve made from 85-5-5-5 bronze alloy, specified by ASTM B62 and identified by UNS C83600. This standard ensures high-quality castings for valves, flanges, and fittings by specifying chemical composition, mechanical properties, and manufacturing processes, free from repair or welding. The valve uses a hollow, perforated, pivoting ball to control fluid flow, opening when the ball's hole aligns with the flow inlet and closing when pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle.
