Split body casting floating ball valve of 1/2"-8" CL150-600 API 6D , 608 desgin
Unibody/split body, full bore/reduced bore, floating ball, fire-safe certified to API-607/6FA, anti-blow out stem, cavity relieving seats, anti-static device, RTFE, Delrin, NYLON&DEVLON seat inserts. Floating ball valves are designed, constructed and tested according to the most recent international standards, such as API, ASME, BS, DIN, etc.
A floating ball valve is a valve with its ball floating (not fixed by a trunnion) inside the valve body; it drifts toward to the downstream side and tightly pushes against the seat under the medium pressure to ensure a reliable seal. The floating ball valve is a simple design with good sealing performance relying on the seat material to withstand the workload as the sealing pressure is barred by the seat ring. Floating ball valves are mainly used in low to mid level pressure applications.
Structural features
1. Special Seat Design
The floating ball valve adopts the design of flexible seal ring
structure. When the medium pressure is lower, the contact area of
seal ring and ball is smaller. so higher sealing ratio is formed at
the place where the seal ring and ball contact to ensure reliable
sealing. When the medium pressure is higher, the contact area of
seal and ball becomes bigger along with the elastic deformation of
seal ring, so the seal ring can endure higher medium thrust without
being damaged.
2. Fireproof Structure Design
In case of fire during the use of valve, the seat ring made of PTFE
or other non-metal materials will be decomposed or damaged under
high temperature and cause higher leakage. The fireproof seal ring
is set between ball and seat so that after the valve seat is burnt,
the medium will push the ball rapidly towards the downstream metal
seal ring to form the auxiliary metal to metal sealing structure,
which can effectively control valve leakage. In addition, the
middle flange sealing gasket is made of metal wound gasket, which
can ensure sealing even under high temperature. The fireproof
structure design of floating ball valve conforms to requirements in
API 607,spi 6FA,BS 6755 and other standards.
3. Reliable Sealing Of Valve Stem
The stem is provided with the shoulder at its bottom so that it
will not be blown out by the medium even under the extreme
conditions such as abnormal pressure rise inside the valve cavity,
failure of gland plate and etc. In addition, to avoid leakage after
the stem packing is burnt in case of fire, the thrust bearing is
set at the place where the stem shoulder and body contact to form a
reverse sealing seat. The sealing force of the reverse seal will
increase according to the increase of medium pressure, so as to
ensure reliable stem sealing under various pressure, prevent
leakage and avoid accident spreading.
The stem adopts V type packing sealing structure. The V type
packing can effectively change the pressing force and medium force
of the gland into the sealing force of the stem.
According to user requirements, the disc spring loaded packing
pressing mechanism can be adopted to make the sealing of stem
packing more reliable.
4. Anti-static Structure
The ball valve is provided with anti-static structure and adopts
the static electricity discharge device to directly form a static
channel between the ball and body or form a static channel between
the ball and body through the stem, so as to discharge the static
electricity produced due to friction during the opening and closing
of ball and seat through the pipeline, avoiding fire or explosion
that may be caused by static spark and ensuring system safety.
5. Lock And Misoperation Prevention
The manual ball valve can be locked by a lock when it is at the
full open or full close position. The 90°open and close positioning
piece with lock hole is designed to avoid valve misoperation caused
due to handle operation by non-opearators, and it can also prevent
valve opening or closing, or other accidents caused by pipeline
vibration or unpredictable factors. It is very effective especially
for inflammable factors. It is very effective especially for
inflammable and explosive oil, chemical and medical working
pipelines or field tubing. The part on the head of the stem that is
installed with the handle adopts flat design. When the valve is
opened, the handle is parallel to the pipeline, so that the opening
and closing indications of the valve are guaranteed to have no
error.

Design Ranges of Materials
KELITE steel ball valves are designed manufactured to provide
maximum service life and dependability. All ball valves are full
ported and meet the design requirements of American Petroleum
Institute Standard API 608&API 6D British standard BS 5351 and
generally conform to American Society of Mechanical engineers
standard ASME B16.34 valves are available in a complete range of
body/bonnet materials and trims. Standard body/bonnet materials
include nine grades of carbon, low alloy and stainless steel, for
special applications they can be supplied in other grades of alloy
and stainless steel. There's a full range of trim materials to
match any service optional packing and gasket materials are
available for a full range of service conditions.
Available Modifications For KELITE Steel Valves
A) Operation
Extended lever for easy operation. Also available with gearing,
motor actuators, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators for more
difficult services B)Body & Bonnet
Split or 3-piece,split body& bonnet for 8" & small.
Disassembles easily for repair or replacement of internal
components.
C) BORE
Full bore or reduced bore. Full-bore design provides exceptional
flow control.
D) End Connections
A choice of flanged RTJ flanged or buttwelding end for piping
flexibility.
E) Packing Std packing multiple v-teflon packing, combined with live loading,maintains packing compression under high-cycle and
severe service applications.
F) BPS
Blow-out proof stem, a pressure-safe stem shoulder design that
protects against failure under excess pressure.
G) AS
Anti statics. A metallic contact is always granted between ball and
stem /body to discharge eventual statics build-up during service.
H)FS
Fire safe designed to API607 or BS 6755 to grant their operation
suitability in case of fire. Secondary metal-to metal seal acts as
backup if primary seal is destroyed by fire. Valves ordered for compliance with API 607 will be provided with graphite packingand gaskets.
