[0002] At present, metal-sealed floating ball valves generally use graphite to achieve the seal between the valve seat and the body cover. Due to the influence of factors such as the material and density of the graphite itself, if no measures are taken during operation, the valve seal may leak and it may be easily damaged during disassembly after installation.
[0003] During assembly, after the graphite is installed, the middle flange is locked and the spring force is used to compress and deform the graphite to achieve a sealing effect. This operation is not a big problem for large-sized valves, but the spring force of small-sized valves is insufficient, which can easily lead to the graphite not being pressed down and sealing leakage. This design helps to compress the graphite in advance, which is more conducive to sealing.
