FAQs
What is the difference between floating and trunnion ball valves?
A floating ball valve has a free-floating ball pressed against the seat by line pressure; it suits low–medium pressure service. Trunnion ball valves support the ball with bearings and are ideal for high-pressure or large-size pipelines.
Do you offer full bore and reduced bore options?
Yes. SFAN supplies full-port designs for minimal pressure drop and reduced-port designs for cost-efficient installations.
Can ball valves handle high temperature media?
Yes. Metal-seated ball valves are available for high-temperature and abrasive services.

FAQ
What Is Ball Valve?
Forged Steel VS Cast Steel
Forged steel gate valves are manufactured by shaping solid metal billets under high pressure and heat. This process aligns the grain structure, eliminates internal voids, and results in superior mechanical strength, impact resistance, and fatigue endurance. In contrast, cast steel gate valves are formed by pouring molten metal into molds—a method that can introduce porosity, inclusions, or micro-cracks if not tightly controlled.
SFAN Valve’s forged steel gate valves—available in sizes from 1/4″ to 4″ (DN10–DN100)—are engineered with solid wedge designs and OS&Y (Outside Screw and Yoke) stems for reliable shutoff and visual position indication.
While cast steel gate valves are cost-effective for large-diameter, —available in sizes from 2″ to 48″ (DN50–DN1200)-are engineered with Flexible or Solid wedge designs and OS&Y (Outside Screw and Yoke) stems for reliable shutoff and visual position indication.

Globe Valve VS Ball Valve
Globe valves and ball valves represent two fundamental design philosophies in industrial fluid control, each optimized for specific process requirements. Globe valves, governed by standards such as API 623, utilize a linear-motion plug to achieve high-precision throttling and flow regulation
