Forged Steel Floating Ball Valve–API 6D, Flanged, Full Port
The forged steel floating ball valve is a compact and reliable solution for shut-off applications in oil, gas, and chemical pipelines. With a flanged connection and manual lever operation, this valve ensures a tight seal under pressure. The floating ball design uses medium pressure to push the ball against the downstream seat, offering secure shut-off performance even under variable pressure conditions.
Key Features
Forged body enhances pressure resistance and structural integrity
Floating ball provides tight sealing with low torque operation
Blow-out proof stem and anti-static device improve safety
Fire-safe design optional according to API 607 / ISO 10497
Flanged ends make it suitable for pipeline mounting
Available in soft-seated or metal-seated options
Protective Coating
This valve features an epoxy coating system compliant with ISO 12944 C5-H, designed for long-term protection in offshore and coastal conditions. It offers superior resistance to salt spray, humidity, and aggressive chemicals, making it ideal for exposed or demanding environments.
Technical Advantages
Floating ball design ensures tight sealing under system pressure, ideal for leak-proof performance.
Anti-static device and fire-safe option improve operational safety in explosive or high-temperature applications.
Optional soft- or metal-seated configuration adapts to different service conditions (abrasive, high-temp, etc.).
