Floating Ball Valves

The ATV Surface Floating Ball Valve is a side-entry, two- or three-piece ball valve designed to regulate or shut off flow in surface and pipeline systems. It operates through a quarter-turn floating ball mechanism: when the ball rotates, its bore aligns with the pipeline to allow flow, or closes to block it. Under pressure, the ball shifts slightly to compress the downstream seat, achieving a tight, bubble-tight seal.

Designed for versatility, this valve supports full-bore or reduced-bore configurations, soft or thermoplastic seats, or metal-seated options for abrasive or high-temperature service. Available in a wide range of high-performance materials — including carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex and super-duplex, nickel alloys, and titanium — the valve delivers durability even in harsh industrial environments.

The Floating Ball Valve can be manually operated or automated with electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic actuators. It meets stringent industry standards and is widely used in oil and gas, water injection, LNG systems, pipelines, refinery operations, and high-cycling applications requiring dependable sealing, compact size, and efficient flow.
