A floating ball valve is a common and widely used type of valve in various industrial sectors. Its unique design enables it to achieve reliable flow control and shut-off functions for both liquid and gas fluid systems. The name "floating ball valve" stems from the ball's ability to float under fluid pressure, ensuring sealing performance and fluid control accuracy.

Key Features and Advantages:

1. Simple Structure: A floating ball valve consists of a ball, valve body, and valve stem, characterized by a relatively simple structure that facilitates easy installation and maintenance.
2. Reliable Sealing Performance: The ball closely fits against the valve seat under fluid pressure, ensuring reliable sealing performance and minimizing the risk of leaks.
3. Fluid Control Precision: Due to the floating nature of the ball, a floating ball valve can achieve precise fluid control under varying flow rates and pressures.
4. Wide Applicability: Floating ball valves are suitable for both liquid and gas media, applicable in fluid control within low to medium pressure ranges.
5. Quick Operation: Through the connection between the valve stem and the ball, floating ball valves can be swiftly opened and closed, making them suitable for scenarios requiring rapid fluid shut-off.
6. Corrosion Resistance: Floating ball valves are often made from corrosion-resistant materials, suitable for handling corrosive media.
7. Multiple Material Options: Depending on fluid characteristics and operating conditions, different materials for the ball and valve seat can be chosen, such as stainless steel, copper, plastics, and more.

Application Scenarios:

Floating ball valves play a crucial role in various industrial sectors, including but not limited to:

• Chemical Industry: Used for fluid control in various chemical media processes.
• Oil and Gas Industry: Employed for fluid shut-off and control in pipelines, tanks, and more.
• Water Treatment: Utilized in fluid control for water supply, sewage treatment, and related processes.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Applied to control fluids within pharmaceutical production processes.
• Energy Sector: Used for fluid control within the energy industry.

In conclusion, as a versatile valve type, floating ball valves are indispensable in industrial fluid control due to their reliable sealing performance, fluid control precision, and extensive applicability. Whether in chemical processing, oil transportation, or water treatment, floating ball valves meet fluid control requirements in diverse scenarios.
