Advantages of Floating Ball Valve
The floating ball design allows for easy and efficient operation. When the valve is open, the ball floats freely and allows for smooth flow of fluid. When the valve is closed, the ball is pressed against the valve seat, creating a tight seal and preventing any leakage.
Another advantage of floating ball valves is their compact size, which makes them easy to install and maintain. They are also relatively inexpensive compared to other types of valves, making them a cost-effective option for many applications.

The difference between floating ball valves and other ball valves
The main difference between floating ball valves and other ball valves is the design and construction of the ball. In a floating ball valve, the ball is not fixed to the stem, but is free to float in the valve cavity. This allows for greater flexibility and reduced torque requirements when operating the valve.
In contrast, trunnion-mounted ball valves have a fixed ball that is supported by two or more stems. This design is ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications where the ball needs additional support to withstand the forces acting upon it.
Another difference between floating ball valves and other ball valves is the seat design. In a floating ball valve, the seats are usually made of elastomeric materials, which provide a tight seal against the ball. In contrast, trunnion-mounted ball valves typically have metal seats that provide a more durable and reliable sealing surface.
Overall, the choice between a floating ball valve and other types of ball valves depends on the specific application and operating conditions. While floating ball valves are the most common type of ball valve, trunnion-mounted ball valves may be more suitable for certain applications where high pressure or high temperature conditions are present.
