Alloy 20 2 Piece Ball Valve Manufacturer and Supplier
We provide Alloy 20 2 Piece Ball Valve solutions for chemical processing, acid handling, pharmaceutical, food-processing, petrochemical, and other compatible industrial applications.
The valve can be specified according to:
- Valve Size
- Pressure Class
- Body Material
- Ball Material
- Stem Material
- Seat Material
- End Connection
- Bore Type
- Operating Temperature
- Operating Pressure
- Process Medium

Correct material selection is essential because Alloy 20 suitability depends on the actual chemical composition, concentration, temperature, pressure, and operating environment.
What Is an Alloy 20 2 Piece Ball Valve?
An Alloy 20 2 Piece Ball Valve uses a two-piece valve body with a spherical ball as the primary flow-control element.
The ball rotates approximately 90 degrees between the open and closed positions. When the bore of the ball is aligned with the pipeline, the valve permits flow. When rotated perpendicular to the flow path, the valve provides isolation.
The two-piece construction generally consists of:
- Main Valve Body
- End Body / Connector
- Ball
- Stem
- Seats
- Packing
- Gaskets or Seals
- Gland Components
- Handle or Actuator
The exact construction varies by manufacturer and valve design.
Alloy 20 Material
Alloy 20, also known as Carpenter 20, is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with additions that can provide strong corrosion resistance in selected chemical environments.
It is particularly associated with applications involving certain sulfuric-acid and chemical-processing services, although suitability must always be confirmed for the exact process conditions.
Alloy 20 Corrosion Resistance
Alloy 20 can offer resistance to various corrosive environments, but no material is universally suitable for every chemical service.
When specifying an Alloy 20 valve, consider:
- Chemical Composition
- Acid Concentration
- Operating Temperature
- Pressure
- Chloride Content
- Oxidizing Conditions
- Reducing Conditions
- Fluid Velocity
- Process Contaminants
A qualified materials engineer should verify compatibility for critical chemical applications.
2 Piece Ball Valve Construction
The two-piece construction offers a practical configuration for industrial isolation applications.
Full Bore Ball Valve
A full-bore configuration provides a flow passage approximately matching the nominal pipeline size and can be selected where low pressure drop is important.
Reduced Bore Ball Valve
A reduced-bore configuration has a smaller flow passage and can be suitable for applications where the reduced flow area is acceptable.
The bore configuration should be selected according to the process and piping requirements.
