The KF Commitment to Excellence...

For over 30 years, we at KF Industries have been dedicated to providing our customers with technically superior products that are designed for the most severe applications. Our broad range of valve designs and sizes, constructed of the highest quality materials, reliably service a diverse range of industrial and oilfield markets. With precision engineering and manufacturing techniques, coupled with outstanding customer service, KF Industries is your source for flow control solutions.

The KF Needle Valve

KF Needle Valves are state-of-the-art valves, designed for oilfield, industrial, and comparable services where high pressure, abrasive-laden gases and fluids cause early failure of all but the most rugged equipment. KF Needle valves combine rugged construction, dependability, and leak-free performance at high and low pressures. These valves offer exceptional regulating properties and high flow capacities in the full open position. Applications include: Liquefied petroleum gas facilities, natural gas installations, wellhead applications, and systems difficult to shut off due to solid contaminants. Valves are available with metal-to-metal or a replaceable nylon seat. Materials of construction include Carbon Steel with 316 Stainless Steel Stem, and is optionally available in all 316 Stainless Steel.

Special Features
Body: Oversized extra heavy body that resists abuse and provides utmost protection against corrosion and erosion. Precision machined seat pocket and bonnet retaining threads assure perfect alignment and sealing at bonnet/body connection and stem/seat interface. A Bonnet Locking Pin secures the bonnet and body against accidental disassembly. Bonnet: Precision threading, both external and internal, assure proper alignment and a sturdy leak-proof connection with the body. A metal-to-metal backseat is provided for additional stem sealing security when the valve is full open. Stem: Stem material is 316 Stainless Steel with a precision ground conical seating tip. Threads are permanently lubricated with a high quality anti-seize compound which increases service life by preventing galling and freeze up. Fourteen pitch threads provide uncompromised load bearing capacity while maintaining excellent flow regulation characteristics. Seat: Soft seat valves include a one piece, replaceable nylon seat with retaining lug. This lug provides absolute protection against seat failures caused by seat rotation.

Ratings
Soft seated valves (O-ring and Packed Style) are rated 6000 psi at 200F. O-ring metal seated valves with standard Buna N Stem Seal are rated 10,000 psi at 200F. Optional Viton Stem Seal assemblies are rated up to 400F. Packed Stem metal seated valves with standard Teflon packing are rated 10,000 psi at 200F. Optional HT (Grafoil) packing is rated up to 1000F.

Method of Calculating Flow Coefficient (Cv)

The Flow Coefficient Cv of a valve is the flow rate of water (gallons/minute) through a fully opened valve, with a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve. To find the flow of liquid through valve from the Cv, use the following formulas:

Liquid Flow
Q L = flow rate of liquid (gal./min.) P P = differential pressure across the valve (psi) G = Specific gravity of liquid (for water, G=1)
