Understanding Floating Ball ValvesFloating ball valves are designed with a floating ball mechanism that allows the ball to move slightly within the valve body. This movement helps maintain contact with the seals, providing better sealing performance and compensating for any misalignment in the pipin

Understanding Floating Ball ValvesStructure and FunctionFloating ball valves consist of a spherical ball that rotates within a valve body to control the flow of fluid. The ball is supported by a stem and can move slightly within the valve body, allowing it to seal tightly against the seat. This desi

Ball valves are essential components in the petrochemical industry, used to control fluid flow in various pipeline systems. Two prominent standards, API 6D and ASME B16.34, provide guidelines to ensure the quality, performance, and safety of these valves.API 6D: Key Requirements1. ScopeAPI 6D (Speci
