Key Components of Floating Ball Valve
  • Valve Body
    Provides the housing for internal components and directs fluid flow.
  • Floating Ball
    Positioned by the fluid pressure, allowing it to move freely within the valve chamber.
  • Stem
    Transmits motion from the actuator to the ball, controlling flow.
  • Seals
    Ensures tight shut-off when the valve is closed, preventing leakage.
  • Actuator
    Initiates the movement of the ball to open or close the valve.
  • Fire-Safe Design
    Withstands high temperatures and maintains sealing integrity during fire emergencies.
  • Anti-Blowout Stem
    Prevents the stem from being expelled under high-pressure conditions, ensuring operational safety.
Advantages of Floating Ball Valve
  • 01

About Shengao Floating Ball Valve
Valve Body Type :Ball
Valve Body Material :

Cast WCB carbon steel (general application), forged A105 carbon steel (general application), 304/316 stainless steel, alloy (corrosion resistance, extreme conditions), etc.

Valve Stem Material : 

When the valve body material is ordinary carbon steel, the valve stem material is usually CR13 series martensitic stainless steel (American standard 410 and 420 stainless steel materials) or higher-grade austenitic stainless steel materials. When the valve body material is stainless steel, the valve stem material is usually austenitic stainless steel (American standard SS304, SS316) with a grade no lower than the valve body material and a higher grade corrosion-resistant alloy material (Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel alloy) etc.

Valve ball material

The valve stem material is basically the same as the valve ball, plus carbon steel electroplating ENP anti-corrosion material, unless there are special requirements. The material of the ball is also ZrO2, AI2O3, SiC, Si3N4, etc.
Seat Material : 

The hard-sealed metal valve seat and fixed soft-sealed valve seat support ring of the ball valve should be made of the same material as the ball.

Seat sealing surface material :The valve seat material is basically the same material as the ball, except for special requirements.
Pressure level :Class 150-2500(ASME standards)or PN10~PN420
Actuator :Manual handwheel, electric actuator, pneumatic actuator, hydraulic actuator
Temperature : 

Depending on the material used, operation can occur within a temperature range of -50°C to +400°C, although specific materials may alter this range.

Size:

1/2'' to 60'' (DN 15-1500)
