FAQ & Engineering Guide
Common Structural Questions
When should I choose a floating valve ball vs trunnion mounted?
Floating valve balls are ideal for Class 150-600 applications where compact design and cost efficiency are important. Trunnion mounted designs are recommended for Class 600-2500 high-pressure applications where reduced operating torque and enhanced stability are required.
What are the advantages of an integral stem design?
Integral stem valve balls eliminate connection gaps between the ball and stem, improving overall reliability, reducing assembly time, and ensuring precise alignment for optimal sealing performance.
What is the difference between solid and hollow valve balls?
Solid valve balls offer maximum strength for high-pressure and severe service applications, while hollow designs reduce weight and operating torque for standard pressure applications where weight savings is beneficial.
