Fully Welded Ball Valve

Floating Fully Welded Ball Valve
The floating ball design has a movable ball held between two floating seats. Upstream pressure pushes the ball against the downstream seat, creating a tight seal. The fully welded body eliminates bolted flanges, reducing leakage paths and weight. It suits moderate pressures and small-to-medium bore sizes, offering low cost and maintenance-free operation in buried or compact installations.

Trunnion Mounted Fully Welded Ball Valve
The ball is fixed by upper and lower trunnions, absorbing axial thrust. Seats are spring loaded and move against the ball, ensuring bidirectional sealing even at high pressures. The welded body provides leak proof integrity and fire safety. Ideal for large diameters, high pressures, and severe services, with lower operating torque and longer cycle life.

Both welded designs ensure zero external leakage, but floating is simpler and cheaper, while trunnion handles heavier duty.

Chief Feature

The chief feature of a fully welded ball valve is its one piece welded body construction. Unlike traditional bolted designs, this structure eliminates all external leak paths, achieving virtually zero external leakage. The welded body also provides superior mechanical strength, enabling the valve to withstand pipeline stress, internal pressure, and ground settlement.

Key advantages include a compact, lightweight design, reliable operation, and long term maintenance free service. Advanced sealing systems—often using PTFE or similar materials—ensure bidirectional zero leakage. Safety features such as fire safe design, anti static devices, and automatic cavity pressure relief are standard. Many models incorporate double block and bleed (DBB) functionality and allow direct burial installation, which reduces construction costs. Overall, the fully welded ball valve delivers unmatched reliability, safety, and cost effectiveness for demanding pipeline applications.
