Casted Floating Ball Valve
Cast Floating Ball Valve Description
The Casted Floating Ball Valve is a type of valve used in various industries, including petroleum, chemical, power station, metallurgy, light industry, natural gas, sewage treatment, and municipal environmental protection. The valve is designed to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the Casted Floating Ball Valve, including its design features, product range, materials, and design standards.
The Casted Floating Ball Valve boasts a compact and lightweight design, with a simple structure and a ball that can freely float, guaranteeing a secure seal. This valve operates by utilizing a ball with a circular hole as its opening and closing component, which is rotated by the stem to complete the opening and closing action, rotating 0 to 90 degrees around the center of the stem. With the ability to quickly switch and cut off the pipeline media by simply turning 90 degrees, it is an efficient and reliable choice for various industries.

Advantages of Casted Floating Ball Valve
The Casted Floating Ball Valve has several advantages over other types of valves. Firstly, it is small in size and lightweight, making it ideal for use in tight spaces. Secondly, it has a simple structure, with a ball that has a free-floating function, ensuring a good seal. Thirdly, the ball valve has a circular hole as the opening and closing member, allowing for rapid switching and a compact structure. Finally, by rotating the ball 0 to 90 degrees, the valve can be opened or closed, making it easy to cut off the pipeline media.
- Low Maintenance: One of the most significant advantages of a Casted Floating Ball Valve is that it requires minimal maintenance. The design of the valve means that there are no mechanical parts that need regular maintenance or lubrication.
- High Pressure and Temperature Tolerance: Casted Floating Ball Valves are designed to withstand high pressure and temperature, making them ideal for use in industrial applications that require these characteristics.
- Tight Seal: The design of a Casted Floating Ball Valve allows for a tight seal, even under high pressure. This tight seal ensures that there is no leakage of fluid, which is crucial in industrial applications where any leakage can cause significant damage.
- Versatility: Casted Floating Ball Valves can be used in a wide range of applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment. This versatility makes them an excellent choice for a range of industrial needs.
Applications of Casted Floating Ball Valve
Casted floating ball valves are used in a wide range of applications in the oil and gas industry. They are typically used to regulate the flow of fluids in pipelines and tanks, but they can also be used in other applications, such as:
- Oil and gas production: Casted floating ball valves are used in the production of oil and gas to control the flow of fluids and gases in the wellbore.
- Refining: Casted floating ball valves are used in refining processes to control the flow of fluids in various stages of the process.
- Storage: Casted floating ball valves are used in storage tanks to regulate the flow of fluids in and out of the tank.
- Transportation: Casted floating ball valves are used in pipelines to control the flow of fluids as they are transported from one location to another.
