Soft seated SW valves
Soft seated SW valves
(OP)
Dear All,
I am new to Piping Materials so a question regargin Soft seated socket welded ball valves.
Is it possible to remove the soft seat prior to welding to avoid damage to the soft seat? Can the seat be reinstated after completion of welding? OR Soft seated ball valves with socket weld ends will be supplied complete with pup piece (at least 150 mm long) welded at each end of the valve prior to valve assembly.

RE: Soft seated SW valves
Another is a top-entry valve which is disassembled from the top prior to welding- also acceptable, though not that common in socket welding sizes (1/2-2") for cost reasons.
The third is a 2 pc end-entry valve which is not disassembled prior to welding but rather is designed with fins or lengthened body sections that allow you to weld the ends (with a wet rag over the body) without cooking the internals. It is not 100% effective, and I stay away from those valves like the plague.
