Floating ball valve

A floating ball valve is a ball valve than has fixed seats with the ball “floating” between the seats.​ “Floating” because it’s held in its place by the seats and nothing else.​
The ball is pressed against the seats by the medium​.

A floating ball valve body can be made of forged or cast material.​
The body can consist of 1, 2 or 3 pieces which can be called: single body uni body, 1 piece body, end entry, 2 piece body, split body, 3 piece body.​

Typically available from ¼” till 12” where the maximum size will depend on the pressure rating. If the rating goes up, the maximum size goes down.​

The available port or bore size is reduced or full. Reduced is normally 1 pipe size smaller and full is, as you can guess, same as the pipe size. Check the standards for the actual dimensions.​

A ball valve can be “straight” (1 inlet, 1 outlet) or have a multiport (3-way, 4 way, or more) and related names are L bore and T bore.​

Body materials can be almost any, the most common are: cast iron, Ductile iron, forged or cast steel (A216 WCB / WCC, A105, LF2) and Stainless Steel (CF8M, F316). The valve body and ball can also be lined, a lower grade body material is used and the internal parts have a PTFE, FEP, PFA lining that is resistant to the usually corrosive medium. The alternative to lining is using a high alloy material.​

Seat materials typically are: Nylon, Devlon, Teflon (TFE, PTFE, CTFE, etc.), metal (hardened), PEEK, KEL-F (PCTFE).​

If you want to use a ball valve to “control” the flow it can have a V port, either made in the seat or the ball.​

The body parts are typically bolted together but smaller valves are also screwed and even seal welded is possible.

The Newco brand started around 1936 with a focus on commodity gate valves and welheads, in 1976 the name Newmans Valve was introduced,  after a merger in 1997 the OIC brand was added to the group. In 2010 Cameron added the Newco brand to it’s extensive portfolio.

WKM has been one of Cameron’s strongest brands since its Flow Control Division acquired it in 1987. The name is trusted among engineers in the industry field because of its stellar track record that has remained constant for more than a century. Their line of ball, butterfly and gate valves have repeatedly delivered positive results in many oil and gas and process controls applications, no matter where they are installed. One of the things that make WKM great is that even though their line is in no ways the cheapest, over the course of time their easy to repair design and replaceable parts make their operating costs lower than many other traditional valves that are less expensive at the initial time of purchase.
