Pneumatic Floating Ball Valve

Fast, dependable valve actuation becomes especially valuable when a process line must be operated remotely, repeatedly, or as part of an automated control system. Our Pneumatic Floating Ball Valve is designed around this requirement, combining a floating-ball configuration with pneumatic operation for efficient quarter-turn flow isolation. Manufactured under the SVI Make in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, this valve is available in a 2-inch / 50 mm full-bore configuration and is intended for industrial pipeline applications requiring controlled and automated operation.

Floating Ball Design for Effective Shut-Off

In a floating ball valve, the ball is not rigidly fixed at both ends. Instead, line pressure helps move the ball toward the downstream seat, supporting contact between the ball and seat during the closed position. This design can provide effective sealing while retaining the compact quarter-turn operating principle associated with ball valves.

The full-bore arrangement provides a substantially unobstructed flow passage when the valve is open. For industrial systems where maintaining flow continuity is important, this configuration can be advantageous for reducing unnecessary restrictions through the valve.

Technical Details at a Glance

Pneumatic Operation for Automated Pipeline Control

The pneumatic operating arrangement allows compressed air to drive the actuator mechanism responsible for rotating the ball through its operating range. This makes the valve suitable for systems where manual operation is inconvenient or where valves need to be incorporated into an automated sequence.

• Quarter-turn operation: Provides rapid movement between open and closed positions.
• Full-bore passage: Supports a continuous flow path when fully open.
• Flanged connection: Offers a practical connection arrangement for compatible industrial piping systems.
• Floating-ball construction: Uses line pressure to assist ball-to-seat contact during shut-off.
• Material flexibility: The specified material range includes SS 304, SS 316 and WCB configurations.
• Fire-safe specification: The supplied configuration is specified as fire safe for applicable service requirements.

Built for Diverse Industrial Service Conditions

With a Class 150 rating and specified operating temperature of up to 120 °C, this pneumatic floating ball valve can be considered for compatible industrial fluid-handling applications. The choice between SS 304, SS 316 and WCB construction can be made according to the process medium, corrosion considerations and operating environment.

The 50 mm size makes this configuration suitable for smaller industrial process lines, utility piping and automated isolation points. Its pneumatic actuation can also be incorporated into plant automation arrangements where centralized or remote valve operation is required.
