Cast steel floating ball valve 2

Description

Cast steel floating ball valve 2

The Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve 2 is engineered for superior performance in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured using high-quality cast steel, this valve provides strength, durability, and exceptional resistance to corrosion, pressure, and thermal stress. Designed in accordance with international standards such as API 6D, ASME B16.34, and ISO 17292, this valve is suitable for a wide range of applications including chemical processing, oil and gas systems, petrochemicals, and steam lines.

This valve features a floating ball mechanism, where the ball is suspended in the valve body and pushed against the downstream seat by upstream pressure to ensure a tight seal. The result is excellent sealing performance, even under low-pressure conditions. It supports both full bore and reduced bore designs, enabling high flow efficiency with minimal pressure drop, and making it ideal for process control where fluid integrity is critical.

With a blowout-proof stem design and integrated anti-static devices, this cast steel floating ball valve meets stringent safety standards. The fire-safe construction provides a reliable seal during fire exposure, as it utilizes secondary metal-to-metal sealing behind soft seats. This feature ensures operational continuity and safety in the event of a fire, aligning with ISO 10497 and API 607 compliance requirements.

For easy operation, the valve is compatible with various actuators including manual hand levers, pneumatic systems, electric motors, or hydraulic actuators via its ISO 5211 mounting pad. Its low operating torque makes manual and automated control smooth and efficient. Internally, high-grade PTFE, RPTFE, or metal seats are used depending on the service conditions, ensuring compatibility with gases, liquids, slurries, and corrosive substances.

This valve is available in pressure classes ranging from 150 to 600, with standard sizes from DN15 to DN200. It can be customized with different end connections such as flanged, butt-welded, or socket-welded, to suit specific piping requirements. The robust cast steel body, typically A216 WCB, offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to mechanical impact.

Maintenance is straightforward due to its two-piece or three-piece split-body construction, which allows for internal inspection and seat replacement without removing the valve from the pipeline. This design reduces downtime and lowers the cost of ownership by enabling in-line service.

The Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve 2 is trusted for high-reliability applications where leak prevention, ease of control, and long-term performance are essential. It delivers consistent results in harsh operating environments while maintaining compliance with global industry standards. Whether for upstream oil and gas, refinery isolation, power plants, or general process lines, this valve provides an optimal balance of performance, cost-efficiency, and serviceability.
