Ball valve 1/2" and 1 1/2" class 4500

(OP)
Hi all.
For a valve test bench we are looking for ball valves to be installed in the filling pipes with as big as possible open flow path.
They should be 1/2" and 1 1/2" class 4500 to cover 600 bar operating pressure, fluid to be water and air/nitrogen, bubble tight sealing, threaded ends, materials as per manufacturers recommendation.
If possible somewehere in Europe? I have asked a lot of manufacturers but not one could offer a solution.
Does anyone have an idea?

RE: Ball valve 1/2" and 1 1/2" class 4500

Suggest you look toward hydrualic valve manufactures.  For example Swagelock makes high pressure ball valves in small sizes.  

RE: Ball valve 1/2" and 1 1/2" class 4500

Take a look at www.highpressure.com they offer ball valve for very high pressure applications up to 1", orifice of 1/2" (12,7mm) 10000 psig.

Other manufacture that offer high pressure ball valve could be like www.habonim.com manufacture from Isreal, even though it is not shown on their homepage, they might be able to offer a special solution...Ask for Chaim Schwartz.

parker has small 1/2", 6000 psi, full port, ball valves.  PVB makes good high pressure ball valves.  I use both on the test benches I build.  Also check out SST (Severe Service Technology), their website is www.sstvalve.com.
