Floating Ball Valve is a type of valve designed to control the flow of liquids or gases through a pipeline. The valve's ball is not fixed but "floats" between two seats, allowing for tight sealing and effective flow control.
Key Features:
- Floating Ball Designs: In these valves, the ball is not fixed by a trunnion (a support at the top and bottom). Instead, the ball floats, which means it can move slightly in the downstream direction when the valve is closed, creating a tight seal.
- Flanged Designs: A crucial role in ensuring the integrity, reliability, and safety of piping systems. They provide secure connections, facilitate maintenance, and allow for flexibility and adaptability in system design.
- Valve the Ball: The ball within the valve is free to move laterally within the body, pressing against the downstream seat to ensure a tight seal.
- Control the Flow: By rotating the ball 90 degrees, the valve can be opened or closed, allowing or stopping the flow of the medium.
- High Pressure Applications: Suitable for high pressure applications due to the design's ability to maintain a tight seal even under significant pressure.
- Ball Valve Designs: Compared to other ball valve designs, floating ball valves are simpler and often more cost-effective for certain applications.
- Line Pressure: The line pressure pushes the ball against the downstream seat, ensuring effective sealing.
- Ball is Rotated: When the ball is rotated to the open position, the flow path is straight, allowing for minimal resistance and pressure drop.
- Open Position and Closed Position: The valve can be in an open position (allowing flow) or a closed position (stopping flow) by rotating the ball 90 degrees.
Applications:
- High Pressure Applications: Used in systems where maintaining a tight seal under high pressure is critical.
- Specific Application: Often chosen for applications where a reliable and cost-effective sealing solution is needed.
