Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| AVCO 200 Series | 1/4"-3", 1000 WOG, cast 316SS (CF8M), 15% glass-filled TFE (RTFE) seats — AVCO's own stated lowest price point among full-port valves | AVCO Valve — Chemical Processing segment page |
| AVCO 900 Series | 1/2"-8", ANSI Class 150 + PN16, 316SS (CF8M) or Carbon Steel (WCB), API 598/607/608 + ASME B16.34 | AVCO Valve — Chemical Processing segment page |
| Richter BVA size & pressure | 1"-6" / DN25-DN150, Class 150, -60°C to +200°C | Richter Chemie-Technik — Ball Valves |
Richter's BVA runs from -60°C to +200°C on a PFA-lined body — a real 260°C swing that matters on a chemical plant with both cryogenic feedstock lines and steam-traced process lines sharing the same valve platform.
