Middleeast Valve is the topmost Ball Valve Manufacturer in Saudi Arabia, providing a wide range of valves designed for durability, precision, and efficient flow control. Our valves are engineered for industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation, water treatment, and marine applications. Among our portfolio, the Floating Ball Valve is one of the most versatile and widely used solutions, delivering reliable shut-off, smooth operation, and long service life even in demanding conditions.
What is a Ball Valve?
A ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a spherical disc (ball) to control the flow of fluids. The ball has a central bore, which, when aligned with the pipeline, allows free passage of flow. Rotating the handle or actuator by 90 degrees closes the valve by turning the ball perpendicular to the flow path. This design offers fast operation, low pressure drop, and bubble-tight sealing, making ball valves suitable for on/off service in critical systems.
Floating Ball Valve
The Floating Ball Valve is designed with a ball that is held in place by the compression of two elastomeric or metallic seats. Unlike trunnion-mounted types, the floating design allows the ball to move slightly downstream under pressure, ensuring tight sealing against the seat. These valves are best suited for medium to low-pressure services where leakage prevention is crucial. Their simple construction and easy maintenance make them a popular choice across multiple industries.
Key Features and Advantages
Quarter-turn operation for quick opening and closing.
Excellent sealing capability due to the floating design.
Compact structure with minimal pressure drop.
Suitable for both gas and liquid service.
Easy to install, operate, and maintain.
