Floating Ball Valve
● DESIGN FEATURES
● Blow out-proof stem construction
The lower end of stem is terraced and is installed from the inside of the valve body. This construction insures a blow out proof stem and metal to metal in case of fire.
● Antistatic design
During operation of valve, static electricity may accumulate on the ball. The special antistatic device can discharge the static electricity during opening and closing of the valve.
● Fire-safe design: API607/API6FA
Each possible leaking part between Ball and Body, Middle flange, Stem and body are designed for metal to metal contact which conforms to the fire-proof requirements of API 6FA and API 607. In case of extreme fire-proof conditions, the packing and gasket material shall be flexible graphite to insure zero leakage.
● Advanced and exclusive seat design
With many years of Ball Valve manufacturing experience and advanced technology from abroad, the cone sealing surface developed, makes the sealing more reliable. Our designs are available with various types of seat materials that offer low friction and low operational torque.
● Middle flange with no leakage design(Body and Cap connection)
Body and Cap connection are sealed by gaskets. To prevent leakage from fire, high temperature or vibrations, metal to metal sealing between the body and cap is maintained.
● Wrench with Open/Close indication
When the handle (lever) is on the same horizontal line with the pipe, this indicates the valve is at open position. When the handle (lever) is on the vertical line with the pipe, this indicates the valve is at closed position.
● Locking Device
The valve is equipped with locking holes for the lever in the full open and full closed position, to prevent accidental opening and closing of the valve.
