floating ball valve
Floating ball valve is one of the most widely used types of ball valves. Its core feature is that the sphere is in a "floating" state inside the valve chamber, and is only radially positioned through the upper and lower valve stems. Under the action of medium pressure, the sphere can produce small displacement and tightly press the sealing ring at the outlet end, thus achieving one-way sealing. The floating ball valve has a simple and compact structure, mainly composed of a valve body, a floating ball body, a valve seat (sealing ring), a valve stem, and a driving device. Its working principle is to operate the handle or actuator to drive the valve stem to rotate the ball 90 °, and use the opening or closing of the ball's through-hole to control the flow channel. The main advantages of the internal thread floating ball valve, external thread welded pipe floating ball valve, forged steel floating ball valve, flange floating ball valve, electric floating ball valve, pneumatic floating ball valve, turbine floating ball valve, clamp floating ball valve, insulation floating ball valve and other floating ball valves produced by Kaiweixi Valve include simple structure, small volume, light weight, low manufacturing cost, and low fluid resistance. It is usually suitable for medium and small caliber (DN ≤ 200mm) and medium and low pressure (such as Class 150/300) working conditions, and is widely used for cutting off water, oil, gas, and general corrosive media. It is an important basic switch valve in the fields of petroleum, chemical, urban water supply and drainage.
