The Argus HK35 ball valve with its many innovative design features represents the highest standards in valve technology and is designed to meet the API-6D, ANSI 16.34 and BS 5351 requirements. Long lifetime and low operating torques due to the clear separation of the sealing and bearing functions, on both ball and stem. The Argus HK35 has all the benefits of the FK76M in a high-pressure design. It is designed to perform in severe conditions where compliance to the highest demands in tightness for leak rate and fugitive emission is mandatory.

Features & Benefits
- Designed for temperatures up to +1022°F for the highest demands on valve tightness in process and to atmosphere (FE)
- Chambered ball seats, seat pocket body design, stem seal protection and flushing system designs support valve performance and extend service life-time
- Process optimized coatings, cladding option and wearing protection feature for extended ball valve life-time
- Flushing options in critical valve areas (e.g., on seats, stem or cavity) avoid media build up to improve service life-time
- High performance designs for high pressure, metal to metal seat gas tightness solutions in oxygen service
- Seat design to FCI 70-2 Class VI to perform on highest demands zero tightness
- Reduces replacement cost as the performance capabilities of the valves can be easily upgraded and various chemical coatings can be applied to stem/seat arrangements to suit different applications
- Improves plant safety as the valves are designed to meet fugitive emission standard ISO 15848
