DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
Floating ball valve is the kind of ball can float. The ball valve squeezes the middle ball core through the seat sealing rings on both sides of the inlet and outlet. When the stem is rotated, the ball rotates freely between the two seat sealing rings with the help of the valve stem, achieving the opening and closing action of the floating ball valve. Under the action of pressure and fluid, the seat of the sphere flowing towards the medium is sealed and compressed to achieve a sealing effect. The higher the pressure, the better the sealing.
