Floating Ball Valve
Floating Ball Valve
Description
Floating ball valve has simple structure and good sealing. However, the ball delivers all the load of the working medium to the exit seal ring, so is necessary to consider whether the ring material can withstand the load of media when working or not. If not, impacted by high pressure, the ball may be shifted. So this kind of structure is generally used for low and medium pressure valve.

Typical drawing of floating ball valve and parts composition
Parts and material list
Note: The chart above only lists out some common composition of steel ball valve parts. We may provide other different parts material composition according to the customer’ s request or the actual valve working condition.
Forged steel ball valve
The floating ball valve manufactured by TIP company is generally employing casted steel valve body, however, as required by customers,forged steel valve body is also available, of which the main sizes such as flange connections and face to face dimensions are the same as that of the cast steel ball valve.
Ball valve with reduced bore
In addition to the full bore floating ball Valve, TIP is also manufacturing the floating ball valve with reduced bore to satisfy different requirement of customers, which can not only lower the cost andthe pricing, but also meetcustomers’ special requirement.
Note: 1 .Sizes of flange connection of the ball valve with reduced bore are the same as that of full bore ball valves.
2. There are two series of face to face dimensions, i.e., the long series and the short series, for some of ball valves with reduced bore.
