The ball of the ball valve is floating

The ball of the ball valve is floating. Under the action of the medium pressure, the ball can produce a certain displacement and press tightly against the sealing surface of the outlet end to ensure the sealing of the outlet end.

The floating ball valve has a simple structure and good sealing performance, but the load of the working medium borne by the ball is all transmitted to the outlet sealing ring. Therefore, it is necessary to consider whether the sealing ring material can withstand the working load of the ball medium. When subjected to high pressure shock, the ball may deviate. This structure is generally used for medium and low pressure ball valves.

The main features of ball valves are compact structure, reliable sealing, simple structure, easy maintenance, the sealing surface and the spherical surface are often in a closed state, not easily eroded by the medium, easy to operate and maintain, suitable for general working media such as water, solvents, acids and natural gas, and also suitable for media with harsh working conditions such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, methane and ethylene, etc., and widely used in various industries. The ball valve body can be integral or combined.
