Product Overview
The 150–600 LBS Floating Ball Valve with ISO5211 Mounting Pad is a high-performance industrial valve designed for reliable shut-off and fluid control in pipeline systems. The floating ball design ensures tight sealing under pressure by allowing the ball to move slightly and press firmly against the downstream seat.
This valve is manufactured according to API and ASME international standards, ensuring high safety, reliability, and compatibility with global industrial pipeline systems.
The integrated ISO5211 mounting pad allows easy installation of pneumatic or electric actuators, making the valve suitable for both manual and automated control systems.
Key Features
Floating Ball Structure
The floating ball design uses system pressure to push the ball against the seat, ensuring tight shut-off and reliable sealing performance.
ISO5211 Actuator Mounting Pad
A standardized ISO5211 top flange enables direct actuator installation, reducing installation time and improving automation compatibility.
Blow-Out Proof Stem
The valve stem is internally mounted to prevent accidental stem ejection, ensuring safe operation under high pressure conditions.
Anti-Static Device
An anti-static device maintains electrical continuity between the ball, stem, and valve body, preventing static buildup in hazardous environments such as oil and gas pipelines.
Fire Safe Design (Optional)
The valve can be manufactured according to API607 Fire Safe standard, ensuring sealing capability even in extreme fire conditions.

FAQ – Floating Ball Valve
What is a floating ball valve?
A floating ball valve uses a free-moving ball that is pushed against the seat by pressure to create a tight seal.
What does 150–600 LBS mean in ball valves?
This refers to the pressure class rating, indicating the maximum pressure the valve can safely handle under standard conditions.
What is the purpose of an ISO5211 mounting pad?
The ISO5211 mounting pad provides a standardized interface for installing actuators, making automation easier and reducing installation costs.
What is a fire safe ball valve?
A fire safe valve is designed to maintain sealing capability during a fire, preventing leakage even if soft seals are damaged.
What industries use floating ball valves?
Floating ball valves are commonly used in oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power plants, and industrial pipelines.
