Full Bore Floating Ball Valve

LYV® the full bore floating ball valve is used to cut off or connect the medium in the pipeline, which have the feature like: ensure the valve seal, low friction coefficient, small operating torque, a variety of seat materials, widely range of adaptability, open/close with correct switch. At the same time, the floating ball valve can form metal contact with the valve body after fire to ensure the stem seal.

What is a floating type ball valve?

The floating ball valve is a kind of valve that its ball floating inside the valve body; it drifts to the downstream side and would be tightly pushed against the seat by the medium pressure, to ensure a reliable seal. It is a quite simple design with a good sealing performance and relying on the seat material to bear the workload since the sealing stress is mainly imposed on the seat rings. Usually the floating ball valves are working in the pipeline system with a low and medium pressure rating.

What is a full bore ball valve?

The full bore ball valve is mainly used for on-off conditions. In the process pipeline system, most valves are designed to limit the flow to a certain range by making the flow passage or area of the closure member smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe. Some kinds of ball valves have an over-sized ball to make sure that the internal flow passages can have enough space to allow the fluid to pass without any obvious restrictions, which is named full bore ball vales, as the hole on the ball is the same size to match with the pipeline diameter.
