Xinzhan focuses on producing all kinds of valve balls by using many different materials. The main types of valve balls we can produce are floating or trunnion mounted valve balls, solid or hollow valve balls, soft seated or metal seated valve balls, valve balls with slots or with splines, and other special valve balls in every configuration or modified balls or specification that you can design.

Main Types of XINZHAN Valve Spheres
- Floating Type: the Sphere in floating Sphere valve will have a slight displacement, that is why we call it floating type. As the Sphere is floating, so under the pressure of the medium, the floating Sphere will move and against the downstream seat.
- Trunnion Mounted Type: the Sphere in trunnion mounted Sphere valve wont move because the trunnion Sphere valve Sphere has another stem at the bottom to fixed the position of the sphere. The trunnion type valve balls are mainly used in high pressure conditions and large sizes Sphere valves.
- Solid Sphere: solid Sphere is machined from compact casting or forging. Solid Sphere is normally considered as the best lifetime solution. And solid balls are mainly used in high pressure conditions.
- Hollow Sphere: Hollow Sphere is made by coil welded steel plate or seamless stainless steel tubes. The hollow Sphere reduces the load of the spherical surface and the valve seat because of its lighter weight, which helps to extend the service life of the valve seat. For some very large sizes or constructions, solid Sphere would not be practical.
- Soft Seated: soft seated valve balls are used for soft seated Sphere valves. The seats are typically composed of thermoplastic components like PTFE. These valves are appropriate for applications in which chemical compatibility is crucial, and in situations where having the tightest seal is important. Soft seats, however, aren’t suitable for processing abrasive or high temperature fluids.
- Metal Seated: Metal seated valve balls are suitable for applications with elevated temperatures or highly abrasive conditions. Metal Seat and Sphere are fabricated from base metals coated with hard chrome, tungsten carbide and Stellite.
- Non-standard customized valve balls are also optional!
Key Points of valve balls
The two most important characteristics of the valve balls are the roundness and the surface finish. The roundness must be controlled especially in the critical sealing area. We are able to manufacture valve balls with extremely high roundness and high surface finish tolerances.
