API Floating Ball Valve
The API Floating Ball Valve is designed in accordance with API standards and features a floating ball structure that utilizes line pressure to enhance sealing performance. Offering low torque operation, excellent leak-tight shut-off, corrosion resistance, and long service life, it is ideal for oil, gas, petrochemical, and industrial applications.
API Floating Ball Valve
The API Floating Ball Valve is a quarter-turn valve engineered to provide dependable flow isolation and tight shut-off in industrial piping systems. The floating ball design allows the ball to move slightly under pressure, creating a positive seal against the downstream seat for superior leakage control.
Manufactured according to API 6D, API 608, and related international standards, the valve delivers exceptional performance under high-pressure and demanding operating conditions. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and special materials, it is widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, and pipeline transmission systems.
As a professional industrial valve manufacturer, we provide complete OEM and ODM solutions for global customers.
Our API Floating Ball Valves are manufactured under strict quality control systems and comply with international standards:
