Different structure


Floating ball valve small volume, light weight, simple structure, ball with free floating function, can better ensure sealing; Ball valve is a ball with a circular through hole as the opening and closing parts, driven by the stem ball around the center of the stem for 0~90 degrees of rotation, to complete the opening and closing function.


Common actuation methods for fixed ball valves are worm gear drive, manual, electric and pneumatic. Most fixed ball valves are flanged, but there are also soldered fixed ball valves.


Different principle


Floating ball valve ball is floating, under the action of medium pressure, the ball can produce a certain displacement and pressure on the sealing surface of the outlet end, to ensure that the outlet end is sealed.


Fixed ball valve ball is fixed, after compression does not move. Fixed ball valves are with floating seat, by medium pressure, seat movement, so that the sealing ring is pressed on the ball, to ensure sealing. It is usually equipped with bearings on the upper and lower shafts of the ball, and the operation torque is small, suitable for high pressure and large diameter valves.


Characteristic


1、In a variety of valves, ball valve flow resistance is minimal, full diameter ball valve opened, the ball channel, valve body channel and connecting pipe diameter equal and into a diameter, media can almost no loss of flow.


2、Ball valve rotation 90° can be fully closed and fully opened, opening and closing quickly. Compared with gate valves and globe valves of the same specifications, ball valves are small in size and light in weight, which is convenient for pipeline installation.


3、Advanced valve seat: Designed with many years of experience in ball valve manufacturing, to ensure valve seal, low friction coefficient, small operating torque, a variety of valve seat materials, wide range of adaptation.
