Athena - Top Entry Ball Valve for Industrial Applications
Athena's top entry ball valves are designed for installation in piping systems where ease of maintenance is a priority. These valves facilitate direct access to the ball and seats without necessitating the removal of the entire valve assembly from the pipeline, reducing downtime and maintenance complexity. They are fabricated using a combination of forging for smaller sizes and sand casting for larger sizes, providing robust and reliable operation in demanding environments. Available in a diverse range of materials including carbon steels, austenitic stainless steels, duplex and super duplex stainless steels, and nickel-based alloys, these valves meet a variety of industrial needs. With design features like blow-out proof stems and anti-static mechanisms, they ensure safety and compliance with international standards. Applications span numerous industries including oil and gas pipelines, refineries, power generation, and cryogenic services, making them a versatile choice for critical operational areas.Size: 2”~24”

ATHENA top entry ball valve
- Possibility to make maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline.
- Special tools provided by Athena (necessary only for larger sizes) allow the User to remove the trim vertically, from bonnet side.
- Body raw material can be forging (for smaller sizes) or sand casting (for larger sizes).
- Wide range of materials: carbon steels, austenitic SS, duplex-super duplex SS, nickel-based alloys.
Top entry ball valves are used in piping systems where the top of the valve can be removed to gain access to the ball and seats without removing the entire valve from the piping system. Typically made from a metal casting process, top entry ball valves require specific testing to make sure there are no defects.
Athena manufactures valves from genuine guaranteed raw material with material test certificates, hydraulic test certificates, MTC 3.1 available with all supply. Also, we can provide valves with third party inspection agencies.
