ASTM A350 LF2 Floating Ball Valve Features
Material Composition:Body and end connections are made from ASTM A350 LF2, a low-alloy carbon steel with excellent impact toughness, especially at low temperatures (typically down to -46°C). This ensures safety and durability in cold climates.
Floating Ball Design: The ball is not fixed but held in place by the valve seats. This design allows the ball to float slightly downstream under pressure, pressing tightly against the seat for a positive seal, ideal for low to medium pressure applications.
Tight Shutoff: Provides excellent sealing capabilities due to the floating mechanism, which enhances contact between the ball and seat. This ensures bubble-tight shutoff (typically ANSI Class VI) in both flow directions.
Anti-Static Design: Includes anti-static devices that ensure electrical continuity between the ball, stem, and body to prevent sparks, making it suitable for flammable or hazardous media.
Blowout-Proof Stem: Designed to prevent the stem from being ejected under pressure, enhancing safety during operation and maintenance.
