General Overview
Pneumatic Flanged Ceramic Lined Floating Ball Valves are designed with engineering ceramics. The internal parts provide excellent wear resistance. These valves are widely used for open/close functions and throttling control in corrosive media with abrasive solids content.
Key Features
- The hardness of the ceramic material can be higher than HRC80.
- Engineering internal parts provide superior protection from corrosive and abrasive medium.
- Compatible with manual lever, gear box, pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuators.
- Customized V type ceramic control valve is also available.
- Floating ball design ensures tight sealing under differential pressure against the downstream seat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What materials are used for the valve internals?
A1: The valve utilizes high-grade engineering ceramics, specifically ZrO2 (Zirconia) for the ball and seat lining to ensure maximum wear resistance.
Q2: Can these valves handle high-temperature media?
A2: Yes, these ceramic lined valves are designed for high-temperature applications, typically ranging from 0 to 200ºC.
Q3: What actuation modes are supported?
A3: The standard model is pneumatic, but we also support manual lever, gear box, electric, and hydraulic actuators based on site requirements.
Q4: Are the flange dimensions customizable?
A4: Yes, we can manufacture flanges according to various standards including GB/T9113, ASME B16.5, or JIS B2220 as per customer needs.
Q5: In which industries are ceramic ball valves most effective?
A5: They are highly effective in power plants, mining, metallurgy, and chemical industries where abrasive slurries or powders are transported.
Q6: What is the benefit of the floating ball design?
A6: The floating ball design allows the ball to be pressed against the downstream seat by the media pressure, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal.
