API Forged Floating Ball Socket Welded Ball Valve

This valve is an API forged floating ball socket weld ball valve designed for reliable shutoff service in Class 800 high-pressure pipeline systems. Manufactured from A105 forged carbon steel, the valve offers excellent mechanical strength and pressure-bearing performance for demanding operating conditions. The floating ball design allows line pressure to assist sealing, ensuring secure isolation in both flow directions. With socket weld ends for permanent, leak-resistant installation and manual lever operation, the valve is well suited for oil, gas, and industrial process applications.

Structural Characteristics of

  • The valve body is manufactured from forged ASTM A105 carbon steel, featuring dense metal structure and high mechanical strength, providing excellent pressure resistance for high-pressure and severe service conditions.

  • The optimized internal flow passage minimizes flow disturbance, reducing pressure drop and energy loss during operation.

  • Under line pressure, the ball is pushed against the downstream seat, ensuring stable and reliable bidirectional sealing performance.

  • The socket weld (SW) end connection provides a compact structure and high weld strength, making the valve suitable for high-pressure, small-bore piping systems while reducing potential leakage risks.

  • A 90-degree rotation enables fast opening and closing with low operating torque, suitable for frequent operation and quick shut-off applications.

  • When fully open or fully closed, sealing surfaces are isolated from direct flow erosion, reducing wear and extending the valve’s service life.

  • Suitable for water, steam, oil, gas, and other media, widely used in small-bore high-pressure piping systems in petroleum, chemical, power, and industrial plants.
