FAQ
1. What is a floating ball valve?
A floating ball valve is a type of valve that uses a spherical ball to control fluid flow. The ball is held in place by the valve seat and floats between two seats to create a seal when closed.
2. How does a floating ball valve work?
When the valve is opened, the ball rotates to allow fluid to flow through. When closed, the ball is pressed against the seat by the fluid pressure, creating a tight seal to prevent leaks.
3. What materials are used in the construction of floating ball valves?
Floating ball valves can be made from various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass, to accommodate different operating conditions and fluid types.
4. Can floating ball valves be automated?
Yes, floating ball valves can be equipped with pneumatic or electric actuators for remote operation, allowing for enhanced control in automated systems.
5. What are the typical pressure ratings for floating ball valves?
Our floating ball valves are available with pressure ratings up to 600 PSI, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
6. Are your floating ball valves suitable for corrosive applications?
Yes, we offer floating ball valves made from corrosion-resistant materials, ideal for handling aggressive chemicals in various industrial processes.
