The ball of the floating ball valve is floating. When the valve is closed, the pressure of the fluid causes the ball to move toward the valve seat, thereby closely contacting the valve seat and forming a seal.
JIS Standard Floating Flange Ball Valve
The JIS Standard Floating Flange Ball Valve is a specific type of Ball Valve that operates on the floating ball principle. In this design, the ball is not fixed by trunnions; instead, it is held between two spring‑loaded or pressure‑energized seats. When the valve is closed, upstream fluid pressure pushes the ball slightly downstream, forcing it tightly against the downstream seat to create a reliable, bubble‑tight seal. When opened, the stem rotates the ball 90°, aligning its bore with the pipeline for full flow.
What sets this valve apart is its full compliance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) – including JIS B2071 (design), JIS B2002 (face‑to‑face), JIS B2220 (flange dimensions), and JIS B2003 (inspection). It features RF (raised face) flanged ends, making it a drop‑in replacement for JIS‑specified piping systems commonly found in Japan, Southeast Asia, and other regions that adopt JIS standards.

| Feature | Advantage |
|---|---|
| Floating ball design | The ball self‑adjusts under pressure, providing excellent sealing performance even after wear or thermal cycling. |
| Simple, compact structure | Fewer moving parts than trunnion or other complex designs, resulting in high reliability and lower maintenance. |
| Low fluid resistance | Full‑bore design (where applicable) minimizes pressure drop – important for energy‑sensitive systems. |
| Easy installation | Flanged RF ends with JIS B2220 drilling allow direct bolt‑up to existing JIS flanges without adapters. |
| High durability & corrosion resistance | Body materials include WCB, GG25, CF8, CF8M, and SS321, with soft seats (PTFE, PPL) that resist chemicals. |
| Low opening torque | Smooth ball surface and optimized seat compression reduce the force needed for operation – ideal for manual levers or small actuators. |
Solvent and acid lines – stainless steel bodies (CF8/CF8M) resist corrosion from chemicals like acetic acid, caustic soda, and organic solvents.
Water and natural gas distribution – zero‑leakage sealing (tested per JIS B2003) meets the requirements of municipal and utility systems.
Harsh working conditions – the valve is specified for outdoor installations, high‑humidity environments, and applications with moderate temperature fluctuations (PTFE seats up to 180°C, PPL up to 250°C).
Industrial plants in JIS‑adopting countries – Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and many Southeast Asian nations where JIS B2220 flanges are standard.
