As a top known brand for  Floating Ball Valve Manufacturers in India, Speciality Valve presents a wide range of floating ball valve solutions. We supply valves that are key to achieving smooth and reliable fluid control in your system especially in which efficient sealing at low to medium pressure is a must.

What Is a Floating Ball Valve?

A ball which is not fixed in place is used in a floating ball valve which moves within the valve body. When fluid pressure is applied the ball shifts a bit in a downstream direction and presses against the seat for a very tight seal. This simple yet very effective design is what makes the float ball valve perform so well.

Operating the valve is a matter of stem rotation by 90 degrees which in turn rotates the ball to either open or close the bore. In the closed position the fluid pressure forces the ball against the downstream seat thus achieving a tight seal.

The floating ball valve is a solution for accurate on off control in low to medium pressure systems. Also it is known for its basic design which in turn makes it economic and easy to install in large scale. We see this in pipelines that require frequent shutoff. Also it is used in water, gas, HVAC, and clean fluid service lines.

Floating ball valves come in multiple variants:

One-piece design: Compact design with few components.

Two-piece and three-piece designs: Perform cleaner maintenance without removal of the valve from the pipeline.

Full-bore (full-port) vs reduced-bore variants: Present either full flow option or a cost effective partial flow as per system design.

Floating ball valves are to be found in use everywhere that which is to say they are very common in:.

Water treatment and delivery (medium pressure control).

Chemical and pharmaceutical industries (which handle clean or inert media).

Air and chilled water flow management systems which include.

Food industry (hygienic fluid control).

Plumbing systems in residential and commercial settings (appliance isolation).

Their dependability, low maintenance and lower price which in turn makes them very easy to deploy.

Oil and Gas for upstream and downstream separation and fuel transfer we also have solutions for gas service.

Water and Wastewater For potable water quality control, sewage systems, and treatment plant pipelines.

Chemical and Petrochemical Which also include resistance to corrosive fluids, acids and solvents.

In Pharma we have solutions for cleanroom and sterile processes which are designed hygienically.

Food and Beverage For drink products, bottling facilities, and CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems.

In HVAC Systems we see efficiency in chilled water loops, condenser lines, and heating systems.

Marine and ship building we offer compact valves which also perform in seawater and tight space settings.

Power Production Condensate systems and cooling water circuits.

By serving many industrial markets we at Speciality Valve are able to guarantee that each of our floating ball valves performs at the best level, is durable, and is in full compliance with international standards.

In water treatment plants we see that floating ball valves are key at individual filtration or chemical dosing lines. They put in fast shutoff for maintenance or emergencies which in turn guarantees continuous operation and very little energy loss. Also they have a compact design which works in tight install spaces.
