Ball Valves

Soft-seated floating ball valve

Floating ball support and a soft seat are separate selection choices. Neither the family pressure range nor the body material establishes the seat's operating limit. Ask for the pressure-temperature limits, shutoff acceptance and operating torque of the actual offered configuration.

FLOATING BALL VALVE PROCUREMENT

How do you specify a soft-seated floating ball valve?

Specify the soft-seat and seal materials, medium, temperature, maximum differential pressure and required shutoff direction for a soft-seated floating ball valve. Add the bore and mating-end details so the supplier can review the complete configuration. A body material or bore description alone does not establish the seat rating or leakage acceptance.

Related procurement checks: metal-seated floating ball valve; full bore versus reduced bore guide; Prepare the valve RFQ data package.

  • Provide the medium, composition and solids, operating and design conditions, maximum differential pressure and required shutoff direction, with units.
  • State the requested soft-seat and seal materials, leakage acceptance and operating duty. Have the supplier confirm compatibility and pressure-temperature limits for the exact offered configuration.
  • Identify DN or NPS, required bore, end connection, mating flange or weld details and installation envelope. Include operator or actuator requirements rather than assuming a standard torque.
  • List quantity, delivery destination, requested date, drawing approval and material/test record requirements. Ask for a model-specific quotation with exclusions and missing information identified.

The overview and dimension tables have different coverage. Check dimensions against the matching pressure designation, size and end-style row, not a combined overview range. A blank or dash is not a confirmed value. Confirm the offered model, seat/seal grades and approved drawing.
