General Features Floating ball valves

Due to the wide range of applications for ball valves, the industry has developed various options to address specific operational needs.

CAM Valves Sales and Engineering departments are available to discuss with customers which options should be selected in accordance with the operating conditions of the purchased valves.

Hereunder we present the most common options.

FLOATING SEAT RING

FLOATING SEAT RING

The floating seat ring features a soft sealing system with a resilient insert that ensures tight sealing against the ball, while an O-ring guarantees sealing to the body.

The insert is securely housed in a specially designed groove for enhanced durability and performance.

PRIMARY AND FIRESAFE GASKET

PRIMARY AND FIRESAFE GASKET

Primary and secondary firesafe gaskets are available in a range of materials and designs, ensuring optimal performance across different pressure ratings and service conditions.


ANTISTATIC DESIGN

ANTISTATIC DESIGN

CAM valves feature an antistatic design that safely dissipates any static charge by connecting the body ball and stem via coil springs.

This ensures safe operation even in sensitive or hazardous environments.

ANTI BLOW-OUT STEM

ANTI BLOW-OUT STEM

The anti-blowout stem design guarantees that the stem remains securely in place, even during maintenance under pressure, providing maximum safety and operational reliability.


DOUBLE STEM SEALING

DOUBLE STEM SEALING

The stem sealing system incorporates dual sealing barriers, including O-rings, a thrust washer and a packing ring, ensuring reliable sealing performance and long service life.

LOCKING DEVICE
