Component Specifications

Definition
The port body is a precision-machined component that serves as the primary structural element in an outlet port assembly with integrated valve. It contains the fluid flow channels, provides mounting surfaces for the valve mechanism, and interfaces with piping systems. Engineered to withstand operational pressures and temperatures while maintaining dimensional stability and leak-tight sealing.
Working Principle
Provides a rigid, sealed housing that directs fluid flow through controlled passages. The valve mechanism operates within this body to regulate or shut off flow. Internal geometries are designed to minimize turbulence, pressure drop, and cavitation while maximizing flow efficiency.
Materials
Typically ASTM A216 WCB carbon steel, ASTM A351 CF8M stainless steel (316 equivalent), or ASTM B61 bronze. Material selection depends on fluid compatibility, pressure rating (150-2500 PSI), temperature range (-20°C to 400°C), and corrosion resistance requirements.
Technical Parameters
  • Port Size DN15 to DN300 (1/2" to 12")
  • Leakage Class ANSI/FCI 70-2 Class IV or better
  • Surface Finish Ra 3.2 μm maximum on sealing surfaces
  • Connection Type Flanged, threaded (NPT, BSP), or welded
  • Pressure Rating 150-2500 PSI
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 400°C
Standards
ISO 5208, ASME B16.34, API 600, DIN EN 12516

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main failure modes for port bodies?

Common failures include corrosion erosion at flow surfaces, thermal stress cracking, seal surface degradation, and mechanical deformation under overpressure conditions.

How do I select the right material for a port body?

Consider fluid chemistry (pH, corrosiveness), operating temperature/pressure, required service life, and industry standards. Stainless steel offers best corrosion resistance, carbon steel provides cost-effective strength, and bronze suits marine applications.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
