WCB Flanged Floating Ball Valve for Process Systems
Zhongguan supplies the WCB Floating Ball Valve with Flanged Connection for industrial pipeline procurement, with DN15–DN600 sizes, Class 150–600 pressure ratings, WCB carbon steel construction, and RF, FF, or RTJ flange facings for compatible oil, water, steam, and process piping applications.
Order WCB Floating Ball Valve with Flanged Connection directly from the manufacturer Zhongguan Valve for high-pressure industrial pipeline installations.
The WCB Floating Ball Valve with Flanged Connection manufactured by Zhejiang Zhongguan Valve Manufacture Co., Ltd. utilizes a heavy-duty ASTM A216 WCB carbon steel body and a split two-piece bolted housing structure. Backed by over 19 years of production expertise across two manufacturing bases in Tianjin and Wenzhou, this valve design delivers stable quarter-turn fluid isolation, pressure-energized bi-directional sealing, and extended service life across demanding process piping networks.

> METALLURGY CRAFTSMANSHIP AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES
AWCB CARBON STEEL
Cast carbon steel (ASTM A216 WCB) provides exceptional mechanical strength, pressure containment, and thermal stability up to 425°C.
BPRESSURE-ENERGIZED SEAL
Under line pressure, the floating sphere shifts slightly downstream, pressing firmly against the resilient outlet seat ring to achieve tight shutoff.
CANTI-BLOWOUT STEM
The stem is installed from inside the valve body with an integral shoulder, preventing stem ejection during abnormal pressure spikes.
DSPLIT TWO-PIECE BODY
Allows complete internal maintenance, sphere polishing, and seal replacement without replacing the entire valve body assembly.
02
How Does the WCB Floating Ball Valve Ensure Operational Reliability?
What is the advantage of carbon steel bodies with stainless steel trim?
Carbon steel (WCB) provides high structural integrity and pressure resistance at a practical cost compared to full stainless steel bodies. Combining a WCB body with SS304, SS316, or 13Cr stainless steel internal balls and stems prevents corrosion, surface scoring, and galling when handling non-corrosive or mildly aggressive industrial liquids, steam, water, and oil.
How does the ISO 5211 mounting pad facilitate automation integration?
The valve body features an ISO 5211 mounting pad option. This standardized top platform allows direct mounting of pneumatic or electric rotary actuators without requiring custom brackets or shaft couplings, simplifying automated line setup.
What quality inspection standards verify zero-leakage performance?
Every valve unit undergoes rigorous quality testing protocols prior to factory release:
1.5x
Shell Hydrostatic Strength Test
Verifies body wall soundness and structural integrity under overpressure conditions.
API 598
Dual-Pressure Seat Testing
Applies pneumatic air and hydrostatic water pressure testing to confirm tight seal closure.
TORQUE
Verification
Measures mechanical operating torque to ensure smooth manual or automated actuator stroke performance.
03
Industrial Application Fields and Media Compatibility
The pressure endurance and chemical stability of the WCB Floating Ball Valve with Flanged Connection fit critical fluid control networks:
OIL / GAS
Oil and Gas Pipelines
Controls fuel flow across oil transmission lines, gas metering manifolds, and distribution manifolds.
CHEMICAL
Chemical Processing Facilities
Manages non-corrosive hydrocarbons, industrial solvents, and process air. High-corrosion environments can be equipped with stainless steel CF8/CF8M body materials.
POWER
Thermal Power Generation
Provides dependable isolation across high-temperature steam networks, boiler feedwater lines, and condensate systems.
WATER
Water Treatment Engineering
Demonstrates long-term mechanical durability in municipal water plants, industrial filtration setups, and high-frequency slurry lines.
04
