Design: The floating ball valve features a ball with an open hole through it. When the valve is open, the ball is free to float slightly downstream to maintain a seal against the seat.
Construction: The valve body is made of cast steel for strength and durability. The ball and stem are typically made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and longevity.
Seat: The valve is equipped with a seat made of PTFE, RPTFE, or metal, providing a tight seal against leakage.
Pressure Rating: Available in various pressure ratings to suit different applications, ranging from ANSI Class 150 to 2500.
Temperature Rating: Suitable for high-temperature applications, with temperature ratings up to 1000°F.
Connection Types: Available with flanged, butt weld, or threaded ends for easy installation and connection to the pipeline.
Operation: Can be operated manually using a hand lever or actuated using electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators for remote or automated control.
Application: Ideal for use in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, and more, where reliable shut-off and control of fluid flow are required.
