2 Piece Titanium Floating Ball Valve Ti TA1 TA2 ANSI Class 150 Class 300 Flanged End Connection for Acetic Acid Flow

Product Introduction:

A ball valve is a type of valve that controls fluid flow by rotating a spherical ball with a hole through its center. Known for its simple structure, ease of operation, and excellent sealing performance, the ball valve is widely used in various industrial pipeline systems such as oil, natural gas, chemicals, power generation, and water treatment. Key features include quick 90-degree open/close operation, reliable sealing even under high pressure and temperature, durability due to the choice of materials for the ball and seal, minimal fluid resistance especially in full bore designs, and multiple connection options like flanged, threaded, and welded connections. Ball valves are utilized across industrial production, civilian utilities like water supply and HVAC systems, and automated control systems when paired with electric or pneumatic actuators. They can be classified based on structure (e.g., floating, trunnion-mounted, and resilient-seated ball valves), bore type (full bore and reduced bore), and stem design (top-entry and side-entry). Materials vary from stainless steel and carbon steel to brass and titanium alloys, chosen according to specific operational conditions and media. Overall, ball valves play a crucial role in enhancing system efficiency and ensuring reliable and safe operation in modern industrial and civilian applications.

A floating titanium ball valve is a type of ball valve where the ball is not fixed but is instead allowed to float within the valve body. This design enables the ball to move slightly under the pressure of the medium, pressing against the sealing surface at the outlet end to ensure a tight seal.

Key Features of Floating Titanium Ball Valves:

Low Flow Resistance: These valves offer minimal fluid resistance, making them one of the most efficient types of valves in terms of flow dynamics. Even reduced bore versions have very low resistance.

Quick and Easy Operation: The valve can be fully opened or closed with a simple 90-degree rotation of the handle or actuator, enabling rapid and straightforward operation.

Excellent Sealing Performance: The valve seat, typically made from elastic materials such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), ensures a reliable seal. The sealing effectiveness improves with increasing medium pressure.

Automation and Remote Control: Floating titanium ball valves can be equipped with various actuating devices such as electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators, allowing for automated and remote control capabilities.

Smooth Passage: The internal passage of the valve is smooth and unobstructed, reducing the likelihood of medium deposition and facilitating cleaning operations like pigging.

Common Connection Methods of Titanium Ball Valves:

Flange Connection: Flange connection is one of the most common methods, suitable for medium to high-pressure piping systems. It connects the valve and pipeline using flanges and bolts, providing good sealing and reliability, as well as easy disassembly and maintenance.

Threaded Connection: Threaded connection is suitable for small diameter, low-pressure piping systems. Common thread types include internal threads (NPT, BSP) and external threads. This method is simple and easy to use but not suitable for frequent disassembly.

Welded Connection: Welded connection can be either butt-welded or socket-welded, suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive media piping systems. Welded connections provide a permanent connection, ensuring no leakage, commonly used in applications requiring extremely high sealing and stability.

Quick-Connect Couplings: Quick-connect couplings allow for rapid assembly and disassembly, suitable for applications requiring frequent installation and removal. This method is convenient and fast but typically used for low-pressure systems.

Clamp Connection: Clamp connection uses clamps to connect the valve to the pipe, suitable for systems with high sanitary requirements, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Clamp connections are easy to assemble and disassemble without special tools.

Socket Connection: Socket connection involves inserting the pipe into the valve's socket end and securing it by welding or bonding, suitable for small diameter piping systems. This method provides good sealing and mechanical strength.

Applications of Titanium Ball Valve:

Titanium ball valves are widely used in different industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and low density:

Chemical Industry: Titanium ball valves are commonly used to handle strong acids, alkalis, and other highly corrosive chemicals, ensuring long-term stable operation in harsh environments. They are applied in chemical equipment, reactors, storage tanks, and piping systems.

Oil and Gas Industry: Titanium ball valves are used in offshore oil platforms and onshore oilfield extraction and processing equipment to resist corrosion from seawater and hydrogen sulfide gas. They are suitable for use in oil pipelines, natural gas liquefaction facilities, and refineries.

Pharmaceutical and Food Industry: Titanium material meets hygiene standards, and its strong corrosion resistance prevents reactions with pharmaceuticals or food, making it widely used in pharmaceutical and food processing equipment. They are commonly used in purified water systems, reactors, and mixing vessels.

Marine Engineering: Due to its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, titanium ball valves are used in marine structures, seawater desalination equipment, and subsea pipelines.

Power Industry: Titanium ball valves are used in power plants to handle high-temperature, high-pressure steam and corrosive cooling water. They are mainly applied in nuclear power plants, thermal power plants, and cogeneration equipment.
