Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve
The Application of Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve
The Rotork Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve is a reliable choice among cooling tower valves manufacturers, ensuring efficient fluid control. Unlike a traditional butterfly valve vs ball valve, this valve offers precise regulation, critical for applications like cooling tower flow control valve systems. Constructed from durable A217 material and endorsed by renowned brands like Cameron Valve, it withstands harsh conditions in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation. Its floating ball design ensures tight sealing and minimal torque requirement, providing enhanced performance and reliability in critical operations.
Features of Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve
- Split Body Design: Allows for quick installation and easy maintenance due to its flanged ends.
- Solid Ball Construction: Enhances structural integrity and reduces flow turbulence within the valve.
- Bottom-Loaded Stem: Ensures blow-out proof performance for added safety.
- Body Joint Design: Prevents excessive compression of valve internals, resulting in consistent and low operating torque.
- Special Elastomeric Double Seal Seat: Provides reliable sealing for high pressure, low pressure, and vacuum conditions.

The Operation Theory of Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve
The operation theory of the Cast Steel Floating Ball Valve involves a hollow ball that floats, controlled by the handle. When the handle is turned, the ball rotates within the valve body, regulating the flow of fluid. This design, favored by cooling tower valve companies, ensures precise flow control and tight sealing. Constructed from durable C12A material, it withstands harsh conditions in various industries. The valve’s operation is symbolized by a slide valve symbol, indicating its mechanism of flow regulation.
