Basic Structure of A216 WCB carbon steel floating ball valve
The basic structure of a carbon steel floating ball valve includes components such as the valve body, bonnet, ball, stem, and seals. The ball is the core component of the valve, typically made of metal material and precision-machined to ensure effective sealing. When the valve is closed, the ball is pressed against the downstream sealing surface by the pressure of the medium, achieving a tight seal. This design allows the floating ball valve to maintain excellent sealing performance even under high-pressure conditions.
Working principle of carbon steel floating ball valve
The operation of a carbon steel floating ball valve is relatively straightforward. When the valve is open, the ball's passage aligns with the pipeline, allowing the medium to flow freely. To close the valve, rotating the stem turns the ball, positioning its passage perpendicular to the pipeline, thereby blocking the medium flow. Since the ball is floating, the pressure of the medium automatically presses it against the sealing surface, enhancing the seal. This design ensures reliable operation of the floating ball valve even in high-pressure environments.
