Floating Ball Valves
Floating ball valves are among the most widely used quarter-turn valves for shutting off flow in piping systems. They operate with a perforated ball that rotates to either allow or block fluid passage. When the valve is open, the hole aligns with the flow path, enabling fluid to pass through; when closed, the solid side of the ball blocks the passage, stopping the flow completely.
A key advantage of floating ball valves is their ability to seal in both directions, making them ideal for applications in oil, gas, water, chemical processing, and other demanding industries.
