The Floating Ball Valve is a widely adopted flow control solution for medium pressure, general-purpose pipelines, offering a cost-effective and compact alternative to trunnion-mounted designs. Its simple structure, excellent shut-off capability, and tight sealing under pressure make it a go-to option in oil & gas, chemical, HVAC, water treatment, and OEM system environments.
Who This Product Is For:
| User | User Profile | Key Priorities |
| Plant Maintenance Manager | Oversees standard fluid systems with regular maintenance routines | Simple Structure, Easy Replacement, Leak Prevention |
| Procurement Engineer | Manages sourcing for mid-sized or budget-sensitive projects | Competitive Pricing, Quick Delivery, International Standards |
| Automation Engineer | Works on light-to-medium automation tasks | Low Torque, Manual/Electric/Pneumatic Compatibility |
| OEM Manufacturer | Integrates valves into packaged units or skid systems | Compact Size, Modular Fit, Scalable Production |
Key Features & Benefits:
Floating Ball Design
The ball is held in place by the valve seats, allowing it to "float" slightly downstream to ensure tight sealing with medium pressure.
Tight Shut-Off
When pressure is applied, the floating ball presses against the downstream seat to achieve a bubble-tight seal.
Simple, Compact Construction
Fewer components = easy maintenance, cost-efficient replacement, and lower inventory pressure.
Wide Compatibility with Actuators
Can be manually operated or integrated with electric or pneumatic actuators for automated systems.
Broad Material Options
Available in stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, PVC, etc., to suit various working media.
Fire-Safe & Anti-Static Design (Optional)
Enhanced safety for gas and flammable fluid systems.
