Floating Ball Valve Manufacturer in USA

SVR Global is a leading floating ball valve manufacturer in USA, supplying premium-grade valves designed to meet stringent international standards such as API, ASME, and ANSI.

In fluid handling and process industries, ball valves are some of the most widely used flow control devices. Floating ball valve stands out for its compact design, ease of operation, and reliable sealing performance. For industries where safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are top priorities, floating ball valves have become the go-to choice.

What is a Floating Ball Valve?

A floating ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, pivoting ball to regulate flow. Unlike trunnion-mounted designs, the ball in this type is not fixed — it “floats” slightly downstream, pressing against the seat under pressure to form a tight seal.

This simple yet efficient mechanism makes floating ball valves highly effective for low to medium pressure applications with smaller sizes, typically up to 12 inches.

 

Advantages of Floating Ball Valves

·        Tight Shut-Off

·        Cost-Effective

·        Compact Design

·        Low Maintenance

·        Quick Operation

 

Types of Floating Ball Valves -

·        Two-Piece Floating Ball Valve – Standard design for general-purpose use.

·        Three-Piece Floating Ball Valve – Allows easy maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline.

·        Full Port Floating Ball Valve – Ensures minimal pressure drop and maximum flow.

·        Reduced Port Floating Ball Valve – Compact design for cost-sensitive projects.

·        Flanged End Floating Ball Valve – Strong sealing with flanged connections, ideal for industrial pipelines.

·        Threaded End Floating Ball Valve – Easy installation in small-diameter piping systems.

·        Cryogenic Floating Ball Valve – Designed for LNG and ultra-low temperature services.

 

Parts of a Floating Ball Valve

  • Valve Body – Made from forged steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, or exotic alloys.
  • Ball – Hollow and free-floating to press against the downstream seat.
  • Seats – Usually PTFE, TFM, or metal-seated depending on media and pressure.
  • Stem – Connects the ball to the actuator or handle.
  • Packing & Seals – Prevent leakage along the stem.
  • End Connections – Flanged, threaded, or socket weld depending on pipeline requirements.
  • Actuator/Handle – Operated manually or automated with pneumatic/electric actuators.

Industries -

  • Oil & Gas – Transmission pipelines, refinery processes, and gas distribution systems.
  • Power Generation – Cooling water, steam, and boiler feed applications.
  • Chemical & Petrochemical – Corrosive media handling, dosing, and process control.
  • Water & Wastewater – Municipal water systems, desalination, and wastewater treatment plants.
  • Marine & Offshore – Shipbuilding, offshore drilling rigs, and seawater systems.
  •  Industrial Manufacturing – Process plants, food-grade industries, and mechanical systems.
