How to Distinguish Floating Ball Valve from Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve?
The spool ball of the floating ball valve moves between the two seat sealing rings with the help of medium pressure, while the spool ball of the trunnion mounted ball valve is connected with the valve stem and rotates around the center of the valve stem, and the floating seat support ring. Floating Ball Valve The ball of the floating ball valve is floating. Under the action of medium pressure, the ball can produce a certain displacement and press tightly on the sealing surface of the outlet end to ensure the seal of the outlet end. The floating ball valve is small in size, light in weight, simple in structure and good in sealing performance. The load of the working medium that the ball bears is all transmitted to the outlet sealing ring, so it is necessary to consider whether the material of the sealing ring can withstand the working load of the ball medium. This structure is widely used in medium and low pressure ball valves. Trunnion Mounted Ball Valve The ball of the trunnion m
