| Parameter | Description | Typical Range / Note |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | Float-activated ball valve designed for automatic liquid level control in oil storage and auxiliary reservoirs. | Float ball valve (automatic) |
| Body materials | Common construction materials chosen for compatibility with petroleum products and durability in external environments. | 316 SS / Carbon Steel (epoxy coated) / Brass |
| Float & internals | Floats may be closed-cell polypropylene for corrosion resistance or stainless steel hollow float for robustness; stem and linkages stainless steel. | PP float / 316 SS float options |
| Seal materials | Elastomers and polymers selected based on oil type and temperature to ensure reliable shut-off and long life. | PTFE, FKM (Viton), EPDM (selective use) |
| End connections | Multiple connection forms to accommodate international installations and retrofit requirements. | BSP / NPT / Flanged (PN) / Socket weld |
| Nominal sizes (typical) | Common nominal pipe sizes used on fuel and oil systems for tank feed and level control. | 1/2" (DN15) – 2" (DN50) |
| Pressure rating | Designed for above-ground and low- to moderate-pressure tank systems; selection depends on body material and connection type. | Up to PN10 (≈10 bar) / 150 psi typical |
| Operating temperature | Suitable for a wide range of ambient and process temperatures when matched with appropriate seal materials. | -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F) |
| Viscosity handling | Designed for mineral oils, diesel, heating oil and similar hydrocarbon fluids; response and sealing depend on viscosity. | Effective up to ~200 cSt (consult for higher) |
| Flow coefficient (Cv) | Indicative Cv values by nominal size (actual Cv varies with internal geometry). | ½": 1.2 • ¾": 2.5 • 1": 4.5 • 1½": 10 • 2": 18 |
| Shut-off & leakage | Resilient seats provide tight closure; field results depend on media cleanliness and maintenance. | Bubble-tight with new seats; follow inspection schedule |
| Typical closing response | Response time depends on float area, differential head and fluid viscosity—important for surge-sensitive systems. | ~1–5 seconds (size & head dependent) |
| Applications | Used across oil-handling installations where automatic level control, overfill protection or reservoir feed is required. | Fuel tanks, heating oil, lube reservoirs, transfer tanks, marine tanks |
| Compatibility notes | Not suitable for strong solvents, aromatics or aggressive refinery-streams unless materials are specifically selected. | Common oils OK; consult for specialty fluids |
| Standards & quality | Manufacture and testing commonly aligned with international quality systems and pressure-equipment directives where applicable. | ISO 9001 (manufacturing oversight), PED and CE alignment where required; ATEX assessment for explosive atmospheres |
| Expected service life | Service life varies by duty cycle, media cleanliness and maintenance. Replacement of wear parts extends usable life. | 10–20 years (typical service conditions) |
| Maintenance & inspection | Regular inspection and preventive maintenance reduce downtime and avoid failure from particulate or seal degradation. | Visual + operational check every 6 months; seat check/replacement 3–5 years |
| Environmental & safety features | Design options include low-emission seals, fail-safe float arrangements and anti-siphon/drainback features for safe operation. | Low-emission seals; anti-surge options available |
| Weights (approx.) | Approximate dry weights for common sizes used for handling, mounting and retrofit planning. | ½": 0.6 kg • 1": 1.5 kg • 2": 4.8 kg |
| Installation notes | Install level mounting bracket, provide access for float movement, include isolation valve for service; follow local codes. | Provide service access and filtration upstream |
| Customization | Options frequently requested: alternate seals, special coatings, extended floats, and mounting adaptors to suit tank geometry. | Material & seal options available on request |
