Types of Floating Ball Valve

Cast Floating Ball Valves
Cast floating ball valves are designed with a ball that floats within the valve body, providing a reliable seal by pressing against the valve seats.

Cast Floating Ball Valves

Forged Floating Ball Valve
Forged floating ball valves are robust, reliable, and versatile components essential for controlling fluid flow in various industrial applications. Their design and construction make them suitable for demanding environments where durability and performance are critical.

What Is a Floating Ball Valve? Definition and Working Principle

A floating ball valve is a shut-off valve that uses a ball that floats within the valve body, pressing against seats to create a tight seal. The floating ball valve working principle involves rotating the ball 90 degrees to align its central hole with the pipeline (open) or perpendicular (closed). This floating ball valve design ensures low torque, quick operation, and bi-directional sealing, ideal for high-pressure applications. 



Functions of Floating Ball Valve

KFTE floating ball valves are engineered for versatility and reliability, offering:


  • Reliable On/Off Control: Ensures precise fluid management in ball type float valve systems.

  • Bi-Directional Flow: Allows flexible installation in various piping configurations.

  • High-Pressure/Temperature Handling: Performs reliably in demanding industrial conditions with high flow ball float valves.

  • Low Torque Operation: Enables quick and efficient valve actuation.

  • Durability: Features a wear-compensating ball valve design for long-lasting performance.


These valves are ideal for applications such as float valve with ball or float valve with copper ball in water and chemical systems.
