Overview Of Floating Ball Valves

The sphere of the ball valve is floating, under the action of the medium pressure, the sphere can produce a certain displacement and press tightly on the sealing surface at the outlet end to ensure that the outlet end is sealed. The floating ball valve has the simple structure and good sealing, but the load of the sphere bearing the working medium is all passed to the outlet seal ring, so it is necessary to consider whether the sealing ring material can withstand the working load of the spherical medium, and the sphere may shift when it is hit by a higher pressure.

This structure is generally used in medium and low voltage ball valves. The main characteristics of the ball valve is its own compact structure, reliable sealing, simple structure, easy maintenance, sealing surface and surface is often closed state, not easy to be eroded by the media, easy to operate and maintain, suitable for water, solvents, acids and natural gas and other general working media, but also suitable for harsh working conditions of the media, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide Methane and ethylene, etc., are widely used in various industries. The ball valve body can be whole or combined.
