Racer Ball Valves
What are Racer Ball Valves?
Racer Ball Valves are high-performance quarter-turn valves under the Racer brand, engineered for tight shut-off and smooth flow control in demanding industrial systems. Designed with a precision-machined spherical disc (ball), these valves ensure minimal pressure drop and excellent sealing under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
Asiad Steel Industries is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Racer Ball Valves known for durability, fast operation, and long service life. Our Racer Ball Valves are widely used in chemical processing, water treatment, oil & gas, and manufacturing plants.
