In modern industrial fluid control systems, precision, reliability, and durability are non-negotiable. One essential component that meets these standards is the Flange Floating Ball Valve. At Waits Valve Co., Ltd., we pride ourselves on providing high-quality valve solutions that meet the demands of a wide range of industries, from oil & gas to chemical processing and water treatment.
A Flange Floating Ball Valve is a type of quarter-turn valve that utilizes a floating ball to control the flow of liquids or gases. Unlike a trunnion-mounted ball valve, the floating ball is not held in place by a shaft. Instead, it is supported by two seats and moves slightly under pressure to ensure a tight seal.
Here are the core specifications of our Flange Floating Ball Valves:
Specification | Description |
---|---|
Valve Type | Flange Floating Ball Valve |
Body Material | Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Alloy |
Size Range | 1/2" to 12" |
Pressure Rating | Class 150, 300, 600 |
Temperature Range | -29°C to +200°C |
End Connection | ANSI B16.5 Flanged |
Operation Method | Manual, Pneumatic, Electric |
Leakage Standard | API 598 / EN12266 |
The main function is to regulate or shut off the flow of fluids with precision. Thanks to its floating design, the ball presses against the downstream seat when under pressure, ensuring a leak-proof seal.
In my experience managing fluid control systems, I've seen how our flange floating ball valves drastically reduce downtime and leakage. They offer smooth operation, minimal torque, and excellent sealing performance even under fluctuating pressure conditions.
Q: Why do industries choose Flange Floating Ball Valves?
A: Because they offer a simple, cost-effective solution with reliable sealing in medium to high-pressure environments.
As part of our daily operations at Waits Valve Co., Ltd., we see firsthand how essential the Flange Floating Ball Valve is. It plays a crucial role in:
Preventing leaks in hazardous environments
Reducing maintenance costs
Supporting automation systems through actuation compatibility
Ensuring system safety with blowout-proof stem designs
Q: What sets our Flange Floating Ball Valve apart from others?
A: Our valves are manufactured with tight tolerances, corrosion-resistant materials, and tested to exceed global quality standards.
As a product manager, I often get asked why we emphasize this product in our catalog. The answer lies in its versatility and robust construction. Whether you're dealing with corrosive media or high-pressure lines, our valves stand the test of time.
Q: Can one valve type serve multiple industries?
A: Yes, the flange floating ball valve is engineered for broad application across sectors like petrochemical, marine, pharmaceutical, and municipal waterworks.
The Flange Floating Ball Valve is not just a mechanical device — it is a cornerstone of safe and efficient fluid management. At Waits Valve Co., Ltd., we are committed to excellence in design, production, and after-sales support. When I look at the countless systems we've helped optimize, I know that choosing the right valve, like our flange floating ball valve, makes all the difference.
