Swagelok SS-63TS8-33C is a high-performance, pneumatically actuated ball valve from the renowned 60 Series of general purpose and special application ball valves. This engineered fluid system component features a 316 stainless steel 3-piece body construction with 1/2 in. Swagelok tube fitting end connections, making it ideal for reliable flow control in industrial instrumentation, process analyzers, and fluid handling systems.
This complete assembly integrates a 133 Series pneumatic actuator configured for normally closed (NC) spring-return operation, providing automatic, remote flow control capabilities. The valve is engineered for low-maintenance service with reinforced PTFE seats and a pressure rating of 2200 PSIG at 100°F (151 BAR at 37°C).
Key Features & Benefits
Superior Materials: Constructed from 316 stainless steel for exceptional corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments.
Precision 3-Piece Design: The 3-piece swing-out design enables easy in-line maintenance without removing the valve from the system, reducing downtime.
Reinforced PTFE Seats: Features reinforced PTFE seat material with a unique conical disc spring design that compensates for wear and pressure changes, ensuring consistent, leak-tight sealing.
Reliable Sealing System: Incorporates live-loaded, two-piece V-ring stem packing that automatically adjusts for pressure and temperature fluctuations, extending seal life .
Integrated Pneumatic Actuation: Factory-assembled with a 133 Series pneumatic actuator in normally closed configuration for reliable automated operation.
Standard Cleaning: Supplied with standard cleaning and packaging specification (SC-10), suitable for general service applications.

Engineering Design Features
The 60 Series ball valve incorporates several advanced engineering features that distinguish it from conventional ball valves:
Live-Loaded Packing: The two-piece V-ring stem packing is constantly energized by springs, maintaining a consistent seal despite temperature cycling or normal wear.
Compensating Seat Design: Reinforced PTFE seats are supported by conical disc springs that maintain sealing contact with the ball across varying pressure and temperature conditions.
Blowout-Proof Stem: The stem is internally inserted and retained, preventing accidental ejection even if the packing nut is removed under pressure.
Swing-Out Accessibility: The center section of the 3-piece body can be swung out without disturbing the end connections, providing complete access for maintenance.
Applications
The SS-63TS8-33C is engineered for reliable performance in a wide range of industrial applications requiring automated flow control:
Process Instrumentation: Sample handling systems, analyzer isolation, and instrument panels
