3PC Floating Ball Valve

The 3 Pc Forged Steel Floating Ball Valve is constructed using materials such
as ASTM A105, F304, F316, F51, F53, and others. Fabricated through a forging
process, these valves consist of three pieces, exhibiting robustness and high-
pressure capabilities. Featuring a ball within the body for fluid regulation,
the components include body, seat, ball disc, gasket, studs, nuts, cover, o-
ring, washer, packing, gland, gland flange, screw, and stem.
These Forged Carbon Steel 3 Piece Design Ball Valves are available in various
sizes and dimensions, ranging from ½ inches to 24 inches and DN15 through
DN300. Classified as full port valves, they accommodate different pressure
capacities.
Features:
1. Construction: The 3PC Floating Ball Valve consists of three separate pieces
- a body and two end caps. This design allows for easy maintenance and repair
as the valve can be disassembled without removing it from the pipeline.
2. Floating Ball: The ball inside the valve is designed to float in the fluid,
allowing it to maintain effective sealing even under high pressure and varying
flow conditions.
3. Bi-directional Sealing: The valve is equipped with two seats on opposite
sides of the ball, ensuring a tight seal in both directions of flow.
4. Blowout Proof Stem: The stem is designed to prevent it from being blown out
of the valve in case of high pressure or other extreme operating conditions.
5. ISO Mounting Pad: The valve has an ISO mounting pad for easy installation of
electric or pneumatic actuators, enabling remote or automated operation.
 
Xiangyu Floating Ball Valve Specifications:
1. Size Range: The 3PC Floating Ball Valve is available in sizes ranging from

chemicals and solvents typically found in petrochemical plants.
3. Power Generation: It is used in power plants for controlling the flow of
steam, condensate, and other fluids.
4. Water and Wastewater: The ball valve is employed in water and wastewater
treatment plants for regulating the flow of water, sludge, and other fluids.
In conclusion, the 3PC Floating Ball Valve is a versatile and reliable valve
that is widely used in various industries. With its robust construction, bi-
directional sealing, and easy installation of actuators, it ensures efficient
control of fluid flow in a wide range of applications.
