Float Ball Valve

The Float Ball Valve is an essential component for flow control in fluid systems, offering reliable sealing and a simple yet effective mechanism for regulating the flow of water, oil, steam, and other media. Designed with a floating ball and a valve seat, it provides smooth operation and an ideal seal for both high and low-pressure systems. The Float Ball Valve’s compact design, ease of operation, and durability make it an essential choice for various industries.
Key Features:
-
Floating Ball Design: The ball is free to move within the valve body, allowing it to seat automatically with fluid pressure, creating a tight seal for effective flow control.
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for water, oil, steam, and other media, ensuring reliable operation across different industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and water treatment.
-
Durability: Built with high-quality materials such as WCB, 1Cr18Ni9Ti, and PTFE, it is designed to last in tough working conditions.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The valve’s design, with materials such as stainless steel and PTFE seals, ensures it can withstand harsh environments and corrosive media.
