API 6D Floating Ball Valve, ASTM A105, 150 LB, BS 5351,5146 ship to Lebanon

11.06.2025

API 6D floating ball valve is a common type of valve widely used in various industrial pipeline systems. Its primary function is to control fluid flow, including cutting off or connecting the medium in the pipeline.

In a floating ball valve, the ball is not supported by a shaft but is instead supported by two valve seats. The valve stem is connected to the ball in a movable manner, allowing the ball to be in a “floating” state. Under the pressure of the medium, the ball can shift slightly and press tightly against the sealing surface on the outlet side, ensuring a reliable seal.

Structural Features

  • Simple Structure‌: The design is relatively simple, making it easy to manufacture and maintain.
  • Excellent Sealing‌: The sealing surfaces between the ball and valve seats are made of high-quality materials, such as hard alloys or PTFE, offering good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and sealing performance.
  • Low Fluid Resistance‌: The ball rotates 90° to open or close, resulting in minimal resistance to fluid flow.
  • Quick Operation‌: Due to the floating nature of the ball, opening and closing actions are fast and flexible.
  • Additional Safety Features‌: Floating ball valves often include locking devices, anti-blowout stem structures, anti-static devices, and fire-safe designs to enhance safety and reliability.
