Floating Stainless Steel Ball Valve

FLOATING TYPE BALL VALVE

Applications:

Oil & Gas‌: High-pressure transmission systems, natural gas distribution, LNG transportation, and compressor stations‌.

‌Industrial Fluids‌: Water, steam, oils, acids, and non-corrosive gases (e.g., ammonia, oxygen)‌.

‌Specialized Uses‌: Compatible with hydrogen-natural gas (H₂-NG) blends‌.

Main Features:

Floating ball valves are specialized shut-off devices where the ball is not rigidly fixed to its rotational axis, allowing it to float freely between the valve seats. This design enables effective sealing via pressure acting on the ball, pushing it against the seats to prevent leakage‌.

Design Features:

‌Full port or reduced port

Floating ball design

Blowout-proof stem

Fire safe, anti-static and anti-blowout stem design.

Casting or forging body

Fire safe design to API 607/ API 6FA

Anti-static to BS 5351

Cavity pressure self relief

Optional locking device

Floating Ball Mechanism‌: The ball moves freely under pressure to achieve bidirectional sealing, ideal for high-pressure differentials‌.

‌Compact Structure‌: Two-piece bolted body design, forged or machined from steel/stainless steel for durability‌.

Visual Position Indicator‌: Handle alignment (parallel or perpendicular to the pipeline) clearly shows open/closed status‌.

Low Flow Resistance‌: Full-bore design minimizes pressure loss‌.

Rapid Operation‌: 90° rotation for quick open/close‌.

‌Zero Leakage‌: Pressure-assisted sealing ensures tight shut-off‌.

‌Versatility‌: Suitable for high-pressure, cryogenic, and corrosive environments‌.
